While Portman Road of Ipswich is often termed the best Championship venue, Pride Park is right up there. The fans are exceptional: they rally behind their team in times of struggle and create a mountain of noise at every game. This, of course, makes the away fans double their efforts to be heard; all told, there's a cacophony of noise which makes an electric atmosphere. You shouldn't have any trouble wearing your club colours around the area, just be sensible.

Pride Park or the IPro is one of the best venues to visit in the Championship and away teams always know they are in for a tough afternoon when they hear that deafening roar, the boom of the PA system, and songs being sung all game long. Fans in Derby are passionate about their football - and this really does fit the name. Pride Park has just that; proud fans who will support their team to the last whistle. Fantastic.
