Burton Thread

Went to Burton. Agree with Pendle Red's summary. Glad Zola went off with slight hamstring pull as he looked a real threat. Hurt himself as he he scruffed a shot as Bavs put him off with a good closing down run off his line. Thought Bavs did really well for us. although largely a resererve side it was great for the boys to maintain the unbeaten run... good psychologicallyto maintain the run into the play offs. Turner did good too. Ultras were fab once again. We would have stayed on singing until Sunday if the stewards had let us. They were happy to let us stay on a bit but it was the interfering Bobbies again who told them to shift us!! Great for the team to walk on at the end and show their appreciation for the fans. What a combinbation we have. Let's hav a good turn out at Stevenage although I appreciate that it will be very difficult for some to make it with the daft KO time...Sky tv!!! then lets raise the roof at the home leg!!! Really looking forward to it.
 
I too thought the stewards were excellent and very low key

One other thing that struck me was the bar area behind the away end liscensed, draught beer not cheap mind but food & drink available in a purpose built building with a couple of heaters on the wall for the chillier days, a tv and shelf all around the internal walls to put your food/drink upon, no seats but it did the job prior to the game, during the game & at half-time.

The Club could learn from things like this and may be a half-way house if we are being priced out of the Lounge with these sort of buildings to keep the elements out and could prove to be lucractive for the Club with home & away fans alike.
