Nottingham is only a couple miles further, why no love in with Notts County or even Ilkeston Town or Alfreton Town?

where you live , again ?

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...

Alfreton Town are set for a Asian take over, if this had been Burton be all over it, not a word on here about it tho. Supposed to be quite a big thing

I was born in Derby, don't class myself as being a Grimsbarian because I live here

Burton's already been taken over by ....

Burton were'nt formed , when i were born , so Derby was the nearest local team..

Alfreton are actually in Derbyshire too.

By FAR the greatest team Staffordshire has ever seen.

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)

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

If they get any decent players they will end up with us ?

It annoys me they waste our time on Radio Derby. Got a slight interest now I work in Burton though.

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.

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!!!) :)
