fixturesYes today's the day many football fans eagerly await each season. It's fixture release day and we find out just who the Rams play in key fixtures.

Due to FA & Dataco rules (or £10,000 for a license) we can't bring you the full list of games but we can give you the most awaited games.

The Rams open the season with a home game against Championship new boys Peterborough United, managed by Darren Ferguson, son of Sir Alex. They also follow that up by taking on another of the promoted teams Scunthorpe United on the 15th August.

A sell out crowd is guaranteed with the visit of Nottingham Forest 30th January and a trip to the City Ground early in the season on the 29th August.

Leicester is another East Midlands derby that we can look forwards to again this season and we take on the Foxes at the Walkers stadium on 17th October, with the home game at Pride Park on  March 20th.

A home Boxing day fixture against Blackpool is also a game eagerly awaited by fans.
