The Rams Heritage Trust recently announced they were proud to join forces with the Derby County Community Trust to bring a first-class display of Derby County Football Club’s history and memorabilia to Pride Park Stadium.
The event will take place on Saturday 3rd June and Sunday 4th June, with the timings running from 10:30am-3pm on 3rd June and 11:30am-3pm on 4th June, at Harrison's Hub.
The aim of the Rams Heritage Trust is to save, preserve and display our great heritage, show and teach fans about where Derby County came from and the amazing journey that it has been on. Their work ensures that history is passed down to the next generations of Rams fans.
From the early days in 1884 when pioneers of the club played at the Racecourse in Derby, where grassroots football is still played to this day, becoming one of the original 12 founder members of the world’s first Football League, all the way to becoming FA Cup winners at Wembley in 1946, European Cup semi-finalists and First Division Champions from the Baseball Ground to Pride Park Stadium from 1997 onwards, the Heritage Trust's event will display memorabilia relating to the entire Derby County journey.
Much of this will be shown through the shirts and the colours that have been worn over the years along with photos, match balls, boots, programmes, tickets, flags, banners, signatures, the badges worn on the shirts, the sponsors and even relics from the old Baseball Ground!
The Heritage Trust's replica FA Cup and First Division League Championship trophies will also be on display for photos. The Community Trust's team will be on hand to listen to attendees’ memories and answer any questions that they may have, and welcome fans to bring in their own pieces of Derby County history to share.
The event is FREE to attend, with voluntary donations accepted for the Derby County Community Trust and the ongoing work of Harrison's Hub at Pride Park Stadium.
