MATLOCK TOWN NEWS
Matlock Town will again face Derby County’s first team squad this pre-season with the date now confirmed as Friday 12 July (7.45pm).
Last year’s fixture proved to be a sell out and with the Rams securing a well deserved promotion back to the Championship last month, another capacity crowd is expected at the Proctor Cars Stadium.
Derby won 2-0 last July thanks to goals from James Collins and Ben Radcliffe.
“Once again we’re absolutely delighted to welcome Derby County to our stadium for what should be another great night. We offer our sincere congratulations to all at Pride Park on their return to the Championship and naturally wish them all the very best for the coming season. We know the Rams have great support in and around Matlock with some Derby fans also coming here when they have a free Saturday, So we’re hoping for good weather and looking forward to see how Nicky Law’s team fare against a Championship club.. A big thank you to everyone involved at Derby County for their help in organising this game” said a Matlock spokesman.
The link between Matlock and Derby has been further strengthened with the Rams under 21’s playing their home games at the Proctor Cars Stadium for the next three seasons in a recently confirmed deal.
