June 16, 201511 yr Not really any "interesting" fixtures apart from Wigan.[/quote Agreed. Local derby with two teams of pretty much the same stature Edited June 16, 201511 yr by famouswanderer
June 16, 201511 yr Look where the premier relegated sides are going. QPR at Yeovil. Hull at Accrington and Burnley at Port Vale. - Reality bites.
June 16, 201511 yr Must be a long time since we played a Burton team (Swifts, Town, other ?). 18 March 1905 Burton United 0 Bolton Wanerers 1. (19 November 1904 Bolton Wanderers 7 Burton United 1) Bolton finished second of 18 teams in Division 2, behind Liverpool and ahead of ManUnited. Burton fished 17th (above Doncaster Rovers, who were not re-elected) and then 18th for the next 2 seasons when they failed to gain re-election and both Fulham and Oldham Athletic joined the league). Burton United was a merger of Burton Swifts and Burton Wanderers in 1901.
June 16, 201511 yr Think you're wrong Ryan - new ground for everyone - we'd have taken loads. Even me, hopefully.
June 16, 201511 yr Always good beer in Burton but it will be a midweek fixture so limited drinking!! Why? Do they only serve halves midweek??
June 16, 201511 yr took a couple of thousand to Crewe last year, would imagine we'd have taken that to Burton. only get 5 or 6000 at home though.
June 16, 201511 yr Like others. Home - out. Away - in. Would have taken a reasonable following too as its a new ground for everyone.
Burton at home
