About 13 years. Started going in the Dr Martens days. A very successful period so far. Thanks to a number of legends including Ben, Cloughy, Stridey and of course Aaron! Long may our progression as a club continue.

My first game was in 1970 when I was 5 . Can't remember who the opposition were. I missed a period in the eighties then went back during the Barton era. So about forty years a brewer...

This year will be my 11th season. I've been going since the start of the 01/02 season when we won the Unibond Premier Division.
It has been great supporting Burton Albion during their great success with the FA Cup runs and the steady progress as a Conference club. Hopefully we will do similar as a League 2 club with the progress.

My first season was 2004. My first game was Telford in the 7-4 loss. Since then I have experienced highs and lows. I have been a season ticket holder since 05/06 and my first away game was Boxing Day 2005 at Tamworth.

Boxing Day 2002 at home vs. Bradford Park Avenue.
I didn't start watching the Brewers until I was in my early 20's. I shamefully admit that I was of the opinion that any football below the Premier League was shit until I got dragged along to Eton Park by a mate. I started going regular and eventually "got" the whole thing about supporting your home town team regardless of where they are in the grand scheme of things. One of my biggest regrets is that it took me that long to find out.
Now I love the club and I don't care where they play their football...I'm a proud Burtonian and I'll always follow the Albion.

From about the turn of the century! Having said that, I was taken to the Albion in 1979 on one of my first dates with the man who would be my husband, perhaps that is what impressed me about him....there must have been something! ....can't quite remember...don't know if that says more about me or him...anyway, back to topic.. I was also one of the so called non fans who saw us play Leicester in 1985. Perhaps the other question that should be answered by us is ,how far into the future will you be supporting the team come hell or high water? I will support the Brewers if they are in League 2 or Step 2, or below...

The first game I can remember was from 1958 ( I think) against Hereford Utd. Had been to a handful of games before then but only periodically and I cannot remember who we were playing.
