Grew up in Burton and watched them at Eton Park a lot as a kid under Neil Warnock.So pleased to see them doing so well.Hope Derby don't go up as it will be the most unlikeliest of local derbies ever. Dancing in the streets of Winshill tonight.

There it is! Well done Burton! Fantastic achievement. Special mention to Port Vale, too. They've managed to get thrashed 5-0 at home and become the lowest placed league team in Staffordshire.

Brilliant. Congratulations and it's going to be an exciting season with plenty of local games against Villa, B'ham, Derby, Wolves, Forest and maybe Walsall.

Dancing in the streets of Winshill tonight. Pisser. Great story. They were only promoted to the Conference in 2002. 14 years from Northern Premier League to Championship. Roy of the Rovers stuff. And all on a shoestring. Fantastic stuff.

Obviously gone to see United simple as that! Who would of thought then we would be in this sort of position now? nobody. That was our champions league final. Probably have around or just under 3k, not bad for 4k average home games but still hoped would sell out. Like I said mate not a dig, I used to live in Burton and although I would never 'jump ship' I keep a close eye on their progress, from what I know Ben and his family have run the club well, although they struck lucky with the Man U games paying off a huge Chuck of the cost of the Pirelli, and the master stroke of getting the use of St Georges for training has no doubt helped with attracting players, but how much further can The Albion realistically go and remain competitive both on and off the pitch, I don't think expansion to the ground is feasible, not logistically but more to do with the fact I don't think they'd fill it, corporate facility's need increasing for sure,anyway enough negativity, I think The Albion story has not been given nearly enough praise or media coverage when in reality it far outweighs the overhyped rubbish being coated all over FC United or Salford City, to do what The Albion have done is a real fairytale both on and off the pitch and could hit the jackpot at Doncaster ! Good Luck Brewers Fair comment mate, they are going to increase the away end not sure how yet, in all honestly the midlands clubs will sell more than home fans give them a chance. No pressure from the fans as next season will be dream season lose, lose or lose I think its 3 years in the championship before needs to be made all seated, i'm sure not even thinking along them lines yet as could end up very costly if they did and end up straight down
