Bennyboy, Come for a pint at Stretton Social Club pre match . A very friendly club with excellent beer and free parking Plus it's only a few minutes stroll to the ground Yes I have been invited before and do intend to get there before much longer. We meet up with others from various parts of Burton and Derbys so not all of them are convenient to meet there, but I'm working on it. We share the driving duties too so we can all have a pint or two, or in my case last match a shandy and a soft drink as I was the driver. Does the £6 membership fee apply to Brewers supporters on a match day? www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Stretton+Social+Club,+Burton-on-Trent/Pirelli+Stadium,+Princess+Way,+Burton-on-Trent,+Staffordshire+DE13+0AR/@52.82619,-1.6271297,13z/data=!4m8!4m7!1m2!1m1!1s0x4879f8b7d3d685d3:0xc70e0d2f99176f93!1m2!1m1!1s0x487a02f50d0dfc05:0xd5abcf29b0c13c57!3e2

No, we do encourage people to join but there is plenty of leeway given on that, hopefully people will see the benefits and want to join in time.

my link to directions didn't work? but if you click the blue bit and then enter Pirelli Stadium as destination you can get driving or walking directions.

The walking directions are a bit flawed as they take you down Beech Avenue. A quicker way is through Kingsmead up to Princess Way and into the car park entrance. I reckon a 9 minute walk.

Looking good, still top with 2 games in hand over the Gills. You know it's a special season when it all seems to be going Burton's way ATM, long may it continue.

There are three games in the next week where the right results can help us stay on top. THU 7 JAN 2016 - LEAGUE ONE, Wigan v Gillingham, 19:45. C'mon Latics! TUE 12 JAN 2016 - LEAGUE ONE, Coventry v Walsall, 19:45. A draw would be fine and tire out the Sky Blues for Sat. TUE 12 JAN 2016 Wigan v Sheff Utd, 19:45. C'mom Blades! One down two to go! TOTT with 2 games in hand!

Should have put an accumulator on it.
The biggest one for me is Cov v Wal. Was going to say I wasn't sure what result I want. But really, a draw would be the best (Or would a Coventry win...? They'd be on the same as Gillingham then and we'd have 2 games in hand). With a draw table would read: Burton 24 51 Gillingham 26 50 Walsall 25 49 Coventry 26 47
One thing is for certain - I want Walsall to run them ragged. Us beating Coventry is the most important fixture, and really, if these results fall our way, and we beat Coventry... how good will the table look?!

Would take a draw when we play Coventry now
I've said that kind of thing a few times this season!

I've read that before as I am sure has our Chairman. But, there is a different way, a way that means you harvest the TV income and additional supporter income but do not over invest in team salaries, you can though, conversely over reward salaries for maintaining Championship football (relatively) but have proper relegation clauses, so that you are not stuck with Championship wages in League One or League Two. I am sure it will not be easy or straightforward if it happens, but to be fair we probably have, at the helm, one of the few people who could make it work. That there funky is it in a nut shell, we have the man at the helm who could make it work, Burton Albion is not just any other club. For me if the chance of promotion is there you take it and deal with what changes you have to. I don't worry too much about the all seating as I think that the rail seat/safe standing trials taking place will alter the criteria. Fear ? what's to fear ? Nothing ever stays the same in life, we have to embrace change if the dream of championship football happens. I do understand all posters concerns though.

Everything else a solution can be found for, some find it, some don't. But it takes a club with a strong mission statement with an astute manager. Sean Dyche is in that mold. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31161940
