Been waiting for this first ever competitive game between the 2 clubs all my life. Obviously we are a much smaller club than our rivals from 12 miles down the A38 but we meet on level terms. We have nothing to lose and are the underdogs which will suit us, all the pressure is on the sheep. The...

Just thought I would throw this one out there. Although I am not sure what changes if any will be made to the away end, at the moment there is limited seating along one side for something like 300 and covered terracing for around 1,800 I think in the away end. At present our capacity is 6,912 ...

For the Albion its the biggest game in our history. For Donny I guess its just professional pride. The players could make the impossible possible. What an achievement it would be for our club to make it to the championship. At the helm with have Nigel Clough who started it all off 18 years ago...

Both clubs have come a long way since I first saw them play each other in the early 70's, an FA Trophy game at Springfield Park which Wigan won 5-0 ! Seem to remember a winger called Micky Worswick who ran us ragged. A million miles away from that tonight, we showed signs of recovering our form...

Shit or bust for the Albion here !

The return of Nigel Clough gives a bit of extra spice to this game. Blades and Brewers fans have polar opposite views on the man. I expect him to receive a very hostile welcome. On to the match itself, I am not sure what to expect, The Blades have surprised me with their inconsistency and the...

Big game in the league one title race which ever way you look at it. Both sides are coming off a defeat and by their standards this season a disappointing run. A difficult game to predict and I expect it to be close but hoping we will sneak it. Always had a soft spot for the Saddlers as I lived...

On Sky on the same night as Shrews v Man U. Nowt else to say about that ! We've had some almighty battles over the last few seasons and I can understand why Southend fans don't like us very much. Maybe there is some grudging respect from some though. Yet another tough game and I'm sure it will...

This game has been moved to Friday night due to the(comedy gold) sheep being at home Saturday ! Albion look likely to be at full strength and will most probably have the same starting eleven as against Bradford last week. The game earlier in the season at the Proact seems a long time ago, we won...

Shrews might be short on confidence and struggling in the league but they are more than capable of getting a result as they have done in the FA Cup. There is never an easy game in this division and I expect Albion will be focused on the task in hand as usual. Not expecting any team changes after...

Not a game most would have thought pre-season would be a top of the table clash. Both sides are going well, every one expects Albion to fall by the wayside but I'm pretty certain that's not going to happen. Coventry have on paper probably the best squad in the league and have strengthened with...

Despite the wide difference in league placing's I as always expect a tough keenly contested game. Blackpool had been on a very good run prior to the Barnsley defeat. Hopefully the loss of our back up keeper between the sticks will disrupt the defence enough to swing things in Albion's favour.

Is there anyone out there who thought Burton Albion would be top of league one at Christmas ? Come to think of it would anybody expect us to be in the play-off places ? I think even the most die hard Albion fan would have found it hard to imagine. Are we genuine contenders for an automatic or a...

Sorry bout title ! Big game for both clubs even at this early stage, I think the Burton public are slowly waking up to what the club are achieving and should be a good crowd by our standards what with the Blades selling all their allocation too. Expecting another tight affair, confidence is sky...

This promises to be a momentous day for the Brewers win lose or draw. I am sure we will perform on the day but most times I have been to the Shabby stadium we have ended up on the wrong side of the result no matter how we play. Brewers fans seem to scent this is going to be our season though and...

Not the most inspiring thread title ! Beer makers v Shoemakers then. Jimmy Floyd is keen on us winning the league 2 title and Chris Wilder's team still have an outside chance of the play offs. Rarely for us its an all ticket match. All the home allocation of seats is sold out(around 2,000) but I...

http://www.burtonmail.co.uk/Pirelli-employees-chance-penalty-shoot/story-26320646-detail/story.html The Pirelli derby will have an added facet to it on Wednesday. Maybe Carlisle's best chance to score hellogregory ! Any of you Carlisle fans on here venturing down to the match and fancy a pint...

I'm reliably informed this is the 130th anniversary of Luton Towns formation. Are there any plans to mark this occasion at the game on Saturday ? Understandably Luton fans have been noticeable by there absence on here lately with the disastrous run they have been on. However the rot was stopped...

Big game for both clubs on bank holiday Monday. Wycombe are under a bit of pressure with Bury breathing down there necks so will be desperate to get something from this game. If they lose this game they would be 7 points behind the Albion with 5 to play. Expecting a daw to be honest which will...

Tough game for both sides. Would be happy with a point to be honest. Expecting a large home following with not too many from the Albion, thus a partisan atmosphere. Very important with both sides needing the points and I don't see many goals in the game. The greens have been very good at home...
