Burton Albion, the Shrimp is coming to get you......
This will be my son's first game at the County Ground. I think I'm way more excited than he is.......still, some questions.
Are there any disabled spaces in the main car park? If so, are they charged at normal rate?
Is there still a family area in the Arkells? Or should I just go in the DRS and keep as far away from Tans as possible?

I'm going to take my 4 year old in a few weeks... I'm thinking the Arkells may be the best place to take him..
Thoughts anyone?

Arkell's, town end side is where the most kids are generally, but I've seen some nearly that young around me in the Town End.

I don't think my boy would tollerate the Town End, I think he'd be upset by the noise to be fair.. I was thinking sort of in line with the 18 yard box nearer the front of the Arkells.... can you stand around pitch side over that side? I know you can in the DRS, but haven't been in the Arkells for a long long time.. since David Ball and Matt Ritchie's (second) début (may not be strictly true) in the JPT... which I think was against Brentford and finished in a penalty shootout defeat.. |

I was an Arkell's season ticket holder until this year.
There are massive groups of (I think) school children in the furthest block of seats toward the Town End about half way up. The 'Family section' of Arkell's is basically that end. There are child-friendly loos and children's artwork up in that end, so I suggest you go near halfway up the stand to go in this area.
Or there's the legends lounge which is nice at half time.

The kids who sit in front of me in the DRS who are a little older (maybe 7/8) always go off somewhere at half time? The JR room or something? They always come back with bags of penny sweets which makes me a bit jealous

Isn't there the Sweet stall near the toilets at the TE side of the DRS? |

There was, but towards the end of the season it was never open? Gutted!
The sweets were much more than a penny though!

That was always the pay off for my kids. We have to bring our own now. Dont understand why the club shut it. Very short sighted.

I assumed it was being run by an outside entity and for whatever reason wasn't profitable. Total guesswork. |

Wasn't it the people that have the little sweet shop by the house of Fraser car park?
