The initiative runs from Friday 17th October to Monday 27th October, with the Rams’ fixture against Queens Park Rangers at Pride Park Stadium later this month dedicated to the campaign.

Derby County strives to ensure it is truly reflective of the diverse communities it represents and stands together with players, staff, supporters and the EFL to tackle racism in our game.

To mark Black History Month, the club linked up with Show Racism the Red Card for a special campaign, highlighting the untold story of black footballers by producing a physical exhibition commemorating the first 11 black players to represent Derby.

The exhibition will be available to view in Harrison’s Hub for both home fixtures during the Together Against Racism campaign, against Norwich City on Tuesday 21st October and Queens Park Rangers on Saturday 25th October.

To continue the legacy of the Together Against Racism campaign, Derby County Community Trust, in collaboration with Show Racism the Red Card, will host an educational event for local primary schools this November.

The initiative will feature a series of interactive workshops delivered by Show Racism the Red Card, designed to educate young people on the nature of racism, its impact, and the proactive role they can play in promoting equality within their communities.

The event will also include a panel discussion addressing the impact of racism within football, with representation from both Derby County’s Men’s and Women’s squads.

We believe that football is a game for everyone, everywhere and we are proud of the welcoming atmosphere that you create both at Pride Park Stadium and on the road every matchday.

However, last season there will still 141 incidents of racist abuse at EFL grounds and more than 5,000 reported incidents of online abuse.

Racism will not be tolerated and we stand together with the EFL to remove it from our game – those engaging in racist abuse face up to five years in prison and football stadium bans of 10 years.

How To Report An Incident Or Concern

Derby County strives to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all supporters and its staff.

Home Matchday Text Service

On a home matchday you can report any incidents or concerns discreetly and directly to Derby County Match Control; this includes any health and safety concerns. You must start your text with DCFC, followed by your message and then send to 88440. Please include as much information as possible, including the stand, row, seat number and names, where possible. Once received, the club will investigate each incident as a matter of priority.

Each text costs one standard message at your network rate.

Alternatively, if you feel it is safe to do so, please contact a matchday steward and provide as much detail as possible so it can be investigated by the matchday team as a matter of urgency.

Matchday Supporter Liaison Officers

As part of Derby County’s ongoing commitment to providing supporters with a positive matchday experience, a dedicated team of Matchday Supporter Liaison Officers will be stationed at key points around Pride Park Stadium.

They will be wearing blue jackets and on hand to help and assist supporters with any queries or concerns they may have.

Whilst Derby County prides itself of its high standards, the club encourages feedback from supporters if they feel that it has failed to deliver against the standards and service levels that are expected and so the club can continuously improve.
