NINE-YEAR-OLD Amy Haywood is making final preparations to be Rammie's "special guest" at the iPro Stadium tomorrow.
The youngster was the winner of the Derby Telegraph and Derby County's competition to lead the players out of the tunnel during their play-off semi-final home leg against Brighton.
We asked our readers to send us photos of them roaring on the Rams for the chance to win this great prize – which included two tickets to the match.
Amy, of Hemington, will also enjoy a kickabout with Rammie on the pitch before the match starts and will have photos taken with Rams players at the side of the pitch after the warm-up.
She will then lead the team out of the tunnel with Rammie, have her photograph taken in the centre circle with the match officials and team captains and feature in a half-time penalty shoot-out with Rammie on the pitch.
Her mum, Lynn Ross, 42, said Amy was both nervous and excited about her role – after watching the Rams beat the Seagulls 2-1 in the away leg.
She said: "Amy is really looking forward to leading out the team and she took a copy of the paper into school to show her friends what she'd be doing.
"She's been talking a lot about it – I think she is a bit nervous. But she was really pleased with the result on Thursday and can't wait to cheer them on tomorrow."
