I may get the chance to make a very rare away trip when we play Burton later this month and I am thinking of visiting the National Brewery museum, has anybody been there at all?

Burton Away
Re: Burton Away
No - but watch out - Derby are at home in the FA Cup that weekend, and sharing stewards means the Burton game may well get moved, if Derby-Stoke stays as a Saturday kick-off. So yet again I will probably get screwed having already booked my train tickets for the Saturday."The OXman Cometh" wrote:I may get the chance to make a very rare away trip when we play Burton later this month and I am thinking of visiting the National Brewery museum, has anybody been there at all?

Re:
My original Guildford-Burton train tickets were only £21 return. But travelling on the Sunday is now £53."GodalmingYellow" wrote:Unlucky Slappy.
So considering:-
- paying an extra £6.20 return from Burton-Derby and going to see Derby-Stoke in the FA Cup (£19 entry) on the Saturday
- going for an afternoon out in Burton to the National Brewery Centre
- or trying to change train tickets for the Sunday
- or going to both matches.
I feel your pain Slappy.
Being based in Hull whilst at University, I had identified the trains I would need to get, 2 changes included to get me into Burton £23.10 return.
With the game now being a Sunday, there are less trains, 3 in fact that would get me into Burton in time for a 3pm kickoff, 2 of these involve a bus journey from Goole to Sheffield. Whilst trains back on the sunday evening would involve me making at least 3 changes. A return being a lovely £48.
The only positive about the game now being a Sunday? I can go and watch Hull play Crawley in the FA Cup the day before and hand out some abuse to a certain scottish manager.
