Yep going up on the coach as it's half the price of the trains - and then some!

It's as close as I'm going to get to a home game this season and it's cheap. Would be rude not to. I just don't wanna be billy-no-mates anymore than I already am  |

Burton is about 10 miles south of Nottingham.....still has a lot of charm and oldy feel to it with a glorious bridge crossing the River Trent....the ground is small and compact and on/near an industrial estate. Swindon to Gloucester...M5 North to the Midlands,join the M42 and stay on it until it reaches the A42 north of Brum......straight on to Burton. 2 hours by car give or take 15 mins.....a bit shorter if you like to put the foot down.  |

Have you been to their new ground? It looks very very dull from the pictures I've seen, makes me hope we manage to redevelop the CG with some of it's original character than replace it with a concrete shitblock |

Yes i have...i went to the Pirelli for a non league match......not a great ground but it does create atmosphere when full....bit like Northampton i suppose.
It is actually about 20 miles from Nottingham not ten.

can't imagine it getting very full very often. L2 is all about the shit towns no one has heard of.

I'm in Birmingham next weekend and just realised Burton is just over 20 mins by train and return is £6.75! I'm in if there is a pub in Burton and ppl I know are going Sonic if you can put up with me, I'll ensure you aren't a Billy no mates |

Cant wait for this. Got advance tickets on the train.
The Cross country stretch of line between Cheltenham and Birmingham is expensive on fares.
Doing the Beer festival, then have a disco on the terracing.
