They are not up just yet, but can you imagine telling a Burton Albion fan when they were in the conference in 2009 that just seven years later they would be playing Aston Villa in a league game.

We saw at VP when we played Sheffield United in the FA Cup.

That did not work out very well for us.

On the plus side for cricket fans, there will still be a couple of months of the county championship remaining.

Post by: peter w on April 06, 2016, 12:45:35 AM: I played one game for them.

Bit weird to think of them playing at Villa Park in a league game though. Although to be fair, they should be congratulated as they have risen massively above their station. Also, they're not up yet.
