Burton Albion weather watch

[Deleted member 222]

Do we think this game will be ok? It's not looking like the temperature is getting much above 2 or 3 degrees over the next few days.

Are many others going to attempt the journey? Burton IMO is quite a good away day.

4 of us going on the 8.14 train booked a while back so in the lap of the gods thats the risk of buying advanced tickets. Fingers crossed it's not too bad and doesn't cause too much travel disruption.

Not too worried, snow due later today but mainly in the west and likely to thaw enough by Saturday.

 

[TailsWeWin]

We’ll be there. Don’t think weather forecast looks too bad.

I'm based in Derby. Touch of snow this morning but nothing to cause any issues. Temperature not due above freezing until 11ish. And still very foggy. Believe met office weather warnings have been updated to be further south for rest of the week.

Decent away day ....always liked the way the staff on the bar under the away end have a multitude of pints pulled before half time, no queues if you want a half time beer there

I've booked the train from Chester. Getting into Burton at 11.30am. How far is the ground from the station and are there many decent pubs along the way?

All primed for a 11:00 start from Grenoble Road on the LRTC coach.

Don't know about the food but the Coopers deliver top quality beer. On their website they claim to do superb homemade Scotch Eggs.
