Derby’s opening game is against Doncaster Rovers at home and the two games against bitter rivals Nottingham F*rest are obviously important fixtures to Derby fans.

As much as we would love to publish the entire fixture list right here, a small and rather annoying agency known as the Football DataCo who work very closely with the money-grabbing FA are now asking for nearly £22,500 for the rights to publish fixtures. How they can justify this cost for publicly available information is beyond us but there isn’t a lot we can do about it for the time-being.

For the full fixture list, check out either the official Derby County website (who don’t need to pay the premium as they are the official club website) or BBC Sport Online (who just use the license payers money instead).
