Bingo. But just before them when walking from the T/Lodge there is now a micropub. Nice selection when I was last there a few months back.
Also three Indian restaurants with no liquor license so take your pint from any pub.
Also I was told of a micro pub/brewery within the car park of the T/Lodge but it took me three visits before I found it. No signs up outside but a rack of 12 ales inside!

Standing tickets purchased!
Train tip- I normally end up booking the train from whatever London station and then get a Travelcard for the Brighton to/from London bit. As that seems to work out loads cheaper than just booking tickets from Brighton.
Doing this and picking up advance singles Euston to Burton was £10, coming back £16.50, and a Travelcard is £12.50 if you use a Networkcard. £39 total.
Cheapest I can find for similar times booking tickets from Brighton to Burton (same route) is £74!

Really impressive ticket ordered yesterday postman just delivered this morning.
The streets near the ground and train station are red bricked and look the most northern imaginable. There's a great bar underneath the away end but if you prefer a traditional pub then there's one by a busy roundabout, ten minutes from the ground. Also a couple more on the way from the station. Burton town centre has a fair amount of pubs but it's quality over quantity considering their nickname's the Brewers.
Always a great away day when I went there with Barnet which was usually at the end of the season where they had to win and generally did. Great to be on a packed terrace where there was a surge when they scored.

Also saved a load by booking London to Birmingham and then Birmingham to Burton thus using single rail company's each time. It makes the journey longer but more time for on route drinking!

Second ticket purchased so my Wife can enjoy her first away game with me since.......... may be Wembley '83.
Hotel booked for an enjoyable drinking weekend.
Surprised with only 1300 tickets that it had not sold out prior to general release.

Yep though i thought it was called the Corrs light or something
You will love it , it's a good old style type of ground much like brentford away end minus the upper deck , deserves a good old jump around .

There had better be atleast one ticket left when they go on general sale next week; I can't miss a game that's only a 20 minute drive away
Ticket secured this morning without any hassle, needn't have worried. I'm sure that's a weight off all your minds too
Anyone in the know on how many we've sold?

Is it the same ground as when we signed Wardy or have they got a new one since then?

New ground, BG, moved to the Pirelli in 2005. Their old ground Eton Park is now a small housing estate.

I'm hoping for a leisurely drive (he also says optimistically) and a mooch around an NT place on the Sunday

Not ITK but considering we had 1300 at Derby a similar (ish) number seems likely. Just enough for a bit of a surge down the terracing when Stephens scores the 89th minute winner.
Looking forward to it.
