Just been offered a place in a box for tonight. Free food and drink and a lift there and back, tough choice.
I'm going from Burton, if your stopping in Burton for a few I recommend the Devonshire Arms, 2 mins walk from the station. Turn right on your way out, down the hill, pass the Roebuck Pub (not great) . The Devonshire is a great Pub owned by Burton Brewery, so some great Ales if your in to that, lots of other choices too.

No, i'm not keen on Great Ales, they're not great at all. The few that i've tried all tasted like warm fart.

They're on double sessions and they're busting their guts basically every day. Whereas I think football has moved on a bit from a few years back, and he certainly understands that, and listens, and takes on board what we say."Certainly explains why we were looking so knackered v Chelsea but also it'll be interesting to see which method is correct.
