Interesting how gate receipts mean so little. Only £1.5 million in gate receipts from an £11.5 million turnover. Commercial income nearly £10 million. (large chunk of that TV money obviously)

https://www.burtonalbionfc.co.uk/news/2017/october/1610-accounts/ Impressive that despite our rise through the leagues, we continue to post profits year on year. If we manage to survive again, we'll need a lot more than this to upgrade the ground to all seated. We'll need upwards of £20 million...

Interesting season for young player who is just starting to break into the team, 18 year old Joe Sbarra. Very small lad with very fast feet. Southampton rumoured to be following his progress.

I hope you're right! The longer we can stay in this league, I believe the bigger club we will become. It's hard to believe we used to average 600 not that long ago, 2000 just 2 years ago, and now 5500+ (with a home fan base 3500-4000 most games). It will only take a small increase now and our...

From what our chairman mentioned in a recent interview, it looks like we have made a profit in our debut Championship season...to be fair though we rarely make a loss. Not bad on attendances averaging 5500. I'll also add we do not have a sugar daddy.

..thanks for proving you are a mardy Huddersfield fan for that comment :brill::10::fish:

Completely agree. It was probably lost on many Huddersfield fans that Jackson Irvine the Burton goal scorer was playing for Australia in a world cup qualifier just a few days before the game- and scored a goal. Yes, even little Burton now have international players!

Granted it was just a little dig. It's ten times worse on Burton Albion's facebook page..jeez. I agree that the vast majority of fans (maybe apart from Derby-especially the Burton ones :fish:) are decent. It is one aspect of the match day experience I miss since our rise out of non-league-...

It's got to be Huddersfield on the comments on their fans board. They are saying they hope Burton down and go bust because we beat them. Granted, we have had to change our tactics in away games, and we are "parking the bus" and trying to hit on the counter...but hang on a minute Huddersfield...

Hopefully another game where Wolves think they just need to turn up to get 3 points. This attitude in league one last year helped us get promotion - it wasn't until February before teams took us seriously & then it was too late. Realistically, I can't see us getting anything out of this game...

Great result for the brewers. I was trying to place where abouts this result comes in in my top 5 brewers events... No.1 - Doncaster away last season to clinch promotion. Awful game to watch, knowing just 1 goal from Doncaster would destroy our promotion to the championship...but incredible...

The roof is coming off though!!!! He doesn't say if this will be replaced - I very much doubt it!

Burton Albion have just released Robbie Weir, Central Midfielder. He would do a cracking job at League One - as he did for us. I'd expect quite a few clubs to go for him. Surprised he wasn't given a crack at the Championship.

I was confused there for a second, I thought I was back in the league one forum with so many Sheffield united posts...:2thumb:.....(see you next season:bl::wave:)

The fact that other teams know who we are is amazing, happy for teams to chant that. The best one was when Walsall fans were singing "Burton Albion we're coming for you" was awesome to hear. We'll be using our status as massive underdogs to our advantage again as we did this season- it took...

Our chairman has stated the intention to expand the away end, adding a second tier which should significantly increase the current 1800 away ticket allocation. Additionally, some temporary seating in the corners. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03ttzv9

Cloughie hinted there will be a small expansion to the ground, I suspect some temporary seating in the corners. We only have 2000, seat tickets are going to be like gold dust next season. Away end expansion probably won't happen straight away, I suspect we'll see how the season starts. Without a...

Yep Clough F*s it up wherever he goes if you can call: * Getting Burton promoted up 3 divisions * More than halving Derby County's wage bill, yet still finishing higher in the league * Getting Sheffield United to the play off final (first attempt), and fa cup semi-final in his year there * For...

What on earth am I doing posting in here! Some facts about us: In 2002 with Nigel Clough, we won the Northern Premier League to get promoted to the Conference at Vauxhall Motors FC, around 300 brewers made the trip up that day, me included. Our average gate at the time was 800. Still absolutely...
