Hand-shakes before kick-off

The Shake Hands on Derby Day initiative will be supported by the players of both clubs.

"The derby game has been eagerly awaited since the fixtures were published and promises to be some occasion with a full house and a partisan divide!" Town Chairman David Sheepshanks told the clubs official website.

"We will welcome our visitors from Norfolk and hope that the match can be trouble free amongst the fans both inside and outside the ground.

"The Shake Hands on Derby Day initiative will see the players shake hands before the match in the same style as for international games.

"We all understand the traditional rivalry between the clubs which adds to the excitement but I ask everybody please not to allow this to spill over into unnecessary aggression or abuse. Any trouble ultimately can only damage the two clubs."
