Mr Tibbs Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I like Alfreton, pretty much lived near there for 5 years now though. Burton is a weird one, I have no connections apart from the fact some Derby fans seem to like them so I do a little too. It's weird. The link from Nige and Sir Bucko, annual pre-season friendlies.. Can't put my finger on it. Seem to keep a look out for all the localish teams, Mansfield, Chesterfield, Often, Burton... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrivateDerby Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 By FAR the greatest team Staffordshire has ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrivateDerby Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Burton, Alfreton, Mickleover, Matlock, Belper. I like all of them to be honest, not over the top but I do like them. Lots of ties with Burton, Great Grandad founded and ran Pirelli FC (which was possibly the first team in Burton but not totally sure as the info just isn't there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Got family links with burton, for me it goes 1. Derby (born and grew up there, all family are derby fans). 2. Button , as I say family links. 3. Bristol rovers, my local team for four years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 It annoys me they waste our time on Radio Derby. Got a slight interest now I work in Burton though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Same, also annoys me when we're 2 minutes from kick off and they start talking about Gareth Bale transfer saga, talk about the Little Chef breakfast, anything but Bale and Burton.

bcnram Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Derby have always had a large following from the Burton area, so it makes sense that the same large following have an interest in Burton. Burton as a town tends to gravitate towards the East Midlands but for government stats and the TV companies it is the West Midlands (identity crisis or what!!!)
