The away supporters section of Pride Park Stadium is located in the South East Corner Stand. This section is signposted around the stadium but please speak with our

stewarding team or Matchday Supporter Liaison Officers (MSLO’s) if you need assistance in

finding your way. When you arrive at Pride Park Stadium there are several outlets of information available to you. Firstly our stewarding team are strategically located in their high visibility uniforms on hand to assist with any questions which you
