If you want to compare - Brighton are playing at Middlesborough and need to win to get promoted to Premier League They are all sat together in one corner and making plenty of noise live on sky right now They have 2.500 fans there amongst a crowd of 35,00 We will have 3,000 plus behind one goal amongst a crowd of about 7,000 to 8,000 Brighton sold all of the tickets allocated to them by Middlesbrough and asked for more. A ten hour round trip for them as well. Fair play to Brighton

Fair play to Brighton Wasn't knocking their support as it's one hell of a trip but pointing out how much noise 2.500 fans sat together can make even when they have less than 10 per cent of the stadium We will be nearer to 50 per cent of the crowd (re my other point Brighton are averaging 26.000 fans at home matches this season)

Looks like there's a football special train on. First time I have seen a Burton direct to Doncaster (one stop at Derby) ever before.

Thank f... for that, the scoreboard/clock was up to my left, I spent more time SH watching that. It was great when Lucas brought the ball down in our corner, seconds away from that final whistle.
Absolutely fantastic achievement, poor Walsall, score 5 and still no good for them. Such fine lines this football game.

Apparently McCrory and Stuart B have posted a picture of a few biscuits and a cup of tea on Twitter. As apparently the Walsall manager had been saying that out tea and bikkies would tastes our this week...

I thought Hamza was absolutely superb. A truly mature performance. We are there! I cannot quite believe it yet! A day I will never forget, wow what a noise from the Burton faithful. A big thank you to everyone today, I need a few beers ?

I said they wouldn't let us down and they didn't! That was a painful 90 minutes and news of the Walsall score didn't help. Don't think it was until they were down to 9 men that I start to feel comfortable.
This will take some sinking in and it probably won't until the fixtures come out.
Great effort by all concerned and I couldn't feel more proud and elated. Personally the team I am looking forward to playing is Derby so really hope they fail in the play offs so we can be in the same division. Looking forward to the BBC website publishing the leagues before the season starts when we will be above them on alphabetical order!
Lots to look forward to and also it's straight into the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Bloody hell!!

Yeah, it was bit painful to watch, but done now. Just an incredible achievement. Proud is too small a word for how this feels.
Ben Robinson doesn't want Premier League football!

A big thank you to everyone today, I need a few beers ? I also thought Hamza had a great game, but I also thought Tom Naylor ran his socks off and showed some good touches, Beavan and Duffy, well for me where once again very poor and didnt add anything to the game for Burton and seeing this game was so big for us they disappointed me massively. We need a 15-20 goal scorer a season and both of them two are defo not in the running. Its a great day for Burton fans, the clubs staff, players, management team and Ben Robinson, Bring on the CHAMPIONSHIP

Couldn't believe it when Doncaster manager brought his third sub on with just 60 mins gone
I turned to the guy next to me and said we just need a couple of theirs to get injured now!!
And right on cue the first one went down a minute later I think
Then the guys hamstring popped
Wouldn't have fancied playing out a 0-0 against 11 men tbh
I guess it was as comfortable as a 0-0 could be
Must have been a nightmare for walsall fans to watch the minutes go by at our game with I believe just one shot on goal all game
Nigel would have been slaughtered had we lost that game the way we approached it but at end of the day he got the job done
Next season every point counts. However ugly we get them. Maybe today was good practise for winning an ugly point.
