Train station is Burton on Trent right?
Correct Luci,this link is fairly up to date(2009) so not sure about the pubs etc....but some good info for those going by train etc....probably a bus or taxi share,or a walk of a mile and a half from the station. http://www.footballgroundguide.com/burton_albion/Edit,just noticed it is right up to date,the fixtures gave it away  |

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 Luci - me and heather are on the train - arrives 12.17 - 11.49 from new street. and yes i am a anorak probably ! |

Not going now...been there to see Burton lose to Accrington a few seasons back, nice enough ground, seemed to be surrounded by a moat!?

I hold Burton fans in very high regard after yesterday. Apparently they were singing to Oxford fans "you're just a bus stop in Swindon" |

The thought of Spencer White disco dancing on the terraces almost makes it tempting proposition.
But nah

Cheers mate but its much easier for me to train it straight from Birmingham. Parking wise, accordinging to the football ground guide: There is a large car park at the ground which costs £2. Alternative car parking is available at the Ryknild Trading Estate, by the roundabout leading to Princess Way. Otherwise street parking.
Any pre match pubs recommended? According to the guide again there are loads! |
