Burton is a border town in Staffordshire with south Derbyshire wrapped around it. In the West Midlands but has bigger links to East Midlands as most folk in Burton sound the same as people from Derby. Just to confuse it even more Burton has a Derby post code.
I can see why people not from this area would think we are in Derbyshire.
The big problem for Burton Albion is that before we got into proper football , many people from Burton went to watch Derby County. I think this is a factor to why we average 3000 over the season at home games.
I can see why Burton Albion are doing work with the community and local Schools, to change peoples mentality to who their local team are. Ok it's got to be a long term plan , but worth it in terms of getting more future support for Burton Albion.

NO NO
I am form Burton, but live in Derby because my other half is from Derby. I get stick from my son, daughter, wife and farther in law every time I go to watch the Brewers , but its not going change anything as I will support Burton whatever league we are in.
And yes the man needs to buy a satnav to find the Pirelli in Derbyshire ?
So the score is 1-1 then as both managers have now spouted bollox in the press recently. Don't worry, we will find the stadium, see ya there. I'll be wearing a blue Southend shirt so easily visible.
it will be 0-0 neither side will be capable of scoring ,well until the second leg when we will get beaten at least 2-0 sorry for the negativity ,just wanted a different team on the pitch tomorrow gutted at the timing of the injuries. Im hoping for a 5-0 but oh! ive just seen a flying pig !!
i hope we can match the Southend support with all our apathy lets hope for a gate of 5000 plus but i bet it will be around 4000 ,2300 from Burton supporters pathetic !! we dont deserve a team in league one .
As touched on earlier the floaters will prob go watch derby tomorrow. As for me I've lived in burton since I got married but have been a derby supporter all my life as I used to live the other aids of derby. Tomorrow I'm going to both matches. It's goin to be one hell of a day.
Should say side of Derby. Stupid phone.
come on you Brewers !!!!!!!!!!!!!
