Good luck with your journey. Two days to get to a match must be one Hell of a trek.

Easy to get to and some great pubs.

Which pubs are the best for Burton Albion?  Cheers
The Beech and The Great Western - both sell Burton Bridge beers - yummy!
Or the club is good, I'm told by a local, and there is a separate bar for away fans.

Nice one!

For anyone planning to park at the Burton ground, the official car park opens at 12:30

Hopefully the Burton game will pass off without any trouble in or around the ground or pubs

Why should it be anything else?
Sorry just meant in the sense it's our first game for a while its summer, beers will no doubt be flowing and some of the more boisterous / raucous followers may get a bit carried away with all the events over the past year or so

A couple of us heading up from the Caribbean for the Chicago game. Any Villans planning to meet before or after the game? I haven't seen much discussion since just after the US friendlies were announced,.

Cheers for that, sounds good. Will probably get there circa 4pm. Do we need to do anything in advance wrt booking the bus from there to Toyota Park? We have match tickets already but is it really US$40 for round-trip on the bus and 2 hours open bar in an Irish bar of all places? Sounds like a good deal!
