Yes fella..was up at Burton earlier in the season with the the Cobblers...enjoyed the pubs (especially first two mentioned!)..erm..the game not so 
. Can't for bloody life understand how Burton can say we only took 767 there tho...packed virtually whole end plus 150 odd down side..oh..and the Beeches! 1000 or more surely
Will try n get up there now with Oxford's finest!

: I'd certainly agree with those recomendations
: and there are many more - Burton Bridge
: Brewery is worth a visit too if you have the
: time - check the link I posted below.
:
: As for our "Stadium", well it's a
: tidy and new built ground which provides
: excellent facilities, a safe atmosphere and
: a good view of the match whether seating or
: standing. You will have a standing area
: behind the goal which holds about 1,500 and
: a section of the seated area nearest to you.
: You have your own bar and food areas.
:
: Perhaps stadium is a grand name for it, but
: at least it has 4 sides unlike your near
: neighbours' ground. it may not have the
: "character" of Eton Park, but we
: are rather proud of it.
:
: We are in our first season ever in the
: league but have a proud non-league history
: so you won't find any "big club"
: arrogance from us - we know where we came
: from and we know what it feels like to be
: the non-league club in the 1st round.
:
: We are a well-run club who live within our
: means on a tight budget and a small (for a
: league club) but committed group of
: supporters.
:
: All football teams are beatable and you have
: as much chance as anyone else (although I
: hope you don't of course). Your manager
: appears to be disappointed not to have drawn
: Leeds, but at least you are guaranteed a
: friendly and enjoyable day out, whatever the
: result.
:
: Let's hope you bring plenty of supporters
: with you.

: To any City fans making the trip up to
: Burton
: by train..there are two really good pubs
: within a two minute walk from the station.
: The Devonshire Arms - turn right..walk down
: the road for a minute or so..pub on right
: handside corner.Great for real
: ales..food..very friendly..and landlady will
: call taxis no probs to the ground (£4/5)
: Just down same side street is the back
: entrance to Coopers Tavern. Absolute gem of
: a pub. Ciders n ales - straight from the
: barrel..lager bit difficult to come by here!
: Pirreli Stadium is over 30 min walk - so
: taxi from Devonshire a good bet! Beeches pub
: - 5 min walk past ground (it ain't a
: stadium!! ) from town centre is also
: friendly n ok.
: Can't make it myself but all the very best
: to City and everyone who travels up
: there..will be following on the mobile!
