What was the real reason for the delay?

There are rumours about this morning that yesterdays delay to the kick-off time for the Rams V Wolves game may have been more than the official version would have us believe.

The official reason was that a cloud burst over Derby some hour and a half before the 3-00pm kick-off had caused flooding in and around the city.

However there have been several reports of trouble between rival fans around the City. The Brunswick pub on Station approach Derby was said to have had a major police presence outside before kick-off.

Chaddesden was also said to have had outbreaks of violence between rival fans and another report said there was disturbances in the local hoselries around the Cellaston area.

If the rumours are true this will be the second weekend of trouble connected with the game. The Rams first home game ended with clashes in the City centre between Sheffield United and Rams fans, causing several thousands of pounds worth of damage.
