"You plonker, Rodney!"
I didn't go yesterday, but went to the League Cup game in 2014. Would echo all said here, found people friendly, pubs and beer great and the ground a refreshingly intimate experience.
Remember they have already beaten Massiveand Direby
(which is the historic equivalent of Crawley beating us) so I think we were fortunate to catch them with so many players missing.
Very good luck to them.

That's what the ground reminded me of - Crawley.
living close by have been to games at Burton on and off for last eight or nine years
making games all ticket this season has limited their crowds a bit this season I suspect
very friendly and well run club - felt very strange in away seats yesterday, as am normally in home terrace whenever go
when first went they were playing very good end to end passing game in top six of conference - when for twice the price could see dire League One offerings at Withdean
Clough is very good manager and will I suspect be there as long as he wants to be, lasted ten years the first time, he knows from Derby and Shef Utd experiences that a loyal chairman is main thing that counts these days!

This, sounds fantastic.

Clough is quite philosophical about it. He said, not in a bitter way, that they can't compete with teams on our budget. He described our bench as 'scary'. I hope they stick around to cause other teams problems. They have some good players. We, to use that phrase, played them at the 'right time'.
The Burton fan I spoke to after the game wasn't a Clough fan, called him a loud mouth and ignorant which I found strange given what we see and hear about him but I guess we don't hear from him every day.
His dad was certainly loud so maybe its in the blood

Really enjoyed yesterday and was made to feel very welcome in all three pubs we visited. It did have that lower league feeling about it- Burton station is tiny for a start and not much going on in the centre. The stadium has been designed in a way that makes it look fairly full when it clearly isn't- 4700 odd there. In summary one of my favourite away trips. Oh- and we used virgin trains, Midland, Cross Country and Southern. No guesses which was the only one to be delayed and then running slow.

He was a bit scathing about the lad who gave the penalty away. A bit too harsh in a public way. Hughton would never be so conspicuous in his criticism.

Could you understand a word the mumbler said on the tannoy?
Yes a thoroughly enjoyable away trip. I found a great Micro pub on the road to the ground that served great beer and I eat a wonderful home made pork pie. Friendly locals, and there are some good photos of us at the crucial moments in the Burton Mail http://www.burtonmail.co.uk/analysi...-pay-penalty/story-29725472-detail/story.html

I described it as very non-league as well felt more like a pre-season friendly got parked on the grass verge right outside the ground, name another league team let alone one in the second highest league in the country where you can do that!, was back to Lichfield to collect the wife before 5.30 normally still getting back to the car by that time.
I think they stifled us very well I don't think they set out to try and win it due to their lack of numbers and having a lot of first choice players out which is a shame as I think they could hage given us a decent game rather than the dull affair it was.

Your last paragraph, that sounded like us seven years ago. Sometimes I have to pinch myself and appreciate what we have now.

Leek Town played Burton Albion in a pre-season and Nigel was there,and i spoke to an Burton official may even been the secretary (?) and simply could not have been more helpful about ticket and travel advide was even standing with the Burton fans.
My friend Dean is a Burton fan and he really enjoys his visits to Pirelli. I just have never felt much like going Withdean.

Nice fans, also
A superb comedy moment in the Derby Pub when a local asked a BHA fan ' do you still have a beach in Brighton?'
Erh yes
