From one Mason to another, The Ram sat down for an exclusive interview with Mason Bennett ahead of Derby County’s meeting with Ipswich Town under the Pride Park Stadium floodlights.


Spanning six pages, we spoke to the Academy product – who has drawn great praise from Frank Lampard since his appointment as manager – about the aftermath of his historic debut as a 15-year-old, his motivations to be successful in the game, bouncing back from injury and the best moment of his Rams career so far.

As ever, The Ram will be jam-packed with news and features and retails at just £3 from around Pride Park Stadium.

Here’s a brief review of what else you can expect from our #DCFCvITFC edition of The Ram…

Exclusive Columns: Back in the Pride Park dugout, Frank Lampard pens his latest exclusive column, whilst David Nugent spoke to us about getting off the mark at Millwall and the importance of a fast start in the upcoming home matches.

Action Stations: We have packed a lot in since our last home game and we take a look back at Derby’s last three outings in pictures.

Introducing… Ipswich Town: Want to know more about Paul Hurst’s side? We have you covered with an extensive opposition guide, whilst Stuart Watson, the chief football writer at the Archant, gives us the inside track on what the Tractor Boys will bring to Pride Park.
