    Welcome Burton Albion

    Have to agree with you, the secret has been getting them to play in a team format for each other. Recruitment is going to be vital and although Nigel Clough has his doubters I will trust him to get the players in to make us competitive. I may not always agree with him but his record at BAFC has...

    Against you rather than for you I hope !

    Only one I think, JFH at QPR is rumoured to be interested in our left back Damian McCrory.

    Forgive the pun ciderup but "nothing concrete yet" ! Seriously no details announced yet but having listened to the chairman on the radio then something along those lines would not surprise me.

    Welcome Burton Albion

    I've waited nearly 50 years to play the sheep in a competitive match so i'm ecstatic we will be doing just that next season.

    Derby vs Hull City - Championship Playoff Semi Final

    Even more so this time round as it will be on level terms in a competitive match. They will have to move sharpish on the away end ! It will near on be impossible to segregate the fans with so many Rams fans living in Burton.

    Welcome Burton Albion

    Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, it amazingly does. A massive well done to the sheep this afternoon in losing 3-0 to Hull in the first leg of the play off semi-final. My phone has been in meltdown with comments from fellow Brewers. With the greatest respect to all the other...

    Derby vs Hull City - Championship Playoff Semi Final

    We will be absolutely delighted to welcome the sheep to the Pirelli stadium next season !

    This time next year. . .

    During our first ever league one home game against Scunthorpe, we were leading 2-0, Albion fans started singing "this time next season its Derby away" We had a good laugh at that as being fanciful in the extreme but it looks like becoming a reality. Never stop dreaming, sometimes they do become...

    The playoff thread

    It really is going to be very tight I think. All 4 sides have their merits. From a personal point of view and with no untowardness to the other 3 clubs I would like Walsall to come up from the play offs. Its a good local derby and they pushed hard for an automatic promotion place right up until...

    Welcome Burton Albion

    All 3 of them will get a good reception in my view. We have faced Nigel Clough in a few pre-season friendlies and he has always got a tremendous reception from the fans. They all served our club well and the fans won't forget that.

    It was Steve Evans who labelled us a pub team whilst at Boston United, unfortunately for him we beat them and knocked them out of the FA Cup and shoved it down his throat. We have had several other run ins with him at Crawley and Rotherham. There are still many clubs fans who refer to us as tin...

    Not bad for a tinpot pub team ! Actually there were around 200 of our academy players there too but these were counted in with the away fans.

    Welcome Burton Albion

    I gather our chairman stated on the local BBC news that there will be an expansion to the away end. I can't firm that up with any details but that would seem to be the most sensible way of doing things as it would also increase the number of seats available to our own supporters. Personably as...

    Welcome Burton Albion

    And your point is ? Ifs buts and fine margins. Will be interesting to play you next season as you have another ex Albion manager in charge in Neil Warnock, other ex Albion managers who we will be coming up against are Gary Rowett and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Our chairmain Ben Robinson seems to...

    Welcome Burton Albion

    Just like he did when he first took the job almost 18 years ago ! If you can't see what an achievement this is for him back at the club where he first started then that is amazing. He has his way of doing things but it has always yielded success at Burton.

    Welcome Burton Albion

    "who are we" "who are we" thought I get that in in a turned about way ! The reality is beginning to sink in today. We are in the 2nd tier of English Football ! Just incredible for fans like me who have been supporting the club for nearly 50 years.
