Burton home game - Easter Monday

KilgoreTrout · 25-03-2013, 13:16

Hi Accrington,

I'm a Brewers fan coming up for the game on Easter Monday. Quite looking forward to it as I dont get to many away games. We are in a promotion battle so thought I'd make the effort for the remaining few away games.

I see you guys are struggling somewhat. It doesn't seem that long ago that you had a significanlty better team than us - but I suppose football goes in cycles, sometimes its upwards, sometimes down.

Your web site recommends the Whitaker Arms for away fans. Is this a good choice for a pint or two and some lunch before the game? Whats a good beverage around your way?

Hopefully there will be some good banter on the day.

Cheers and good luck in staying up.

Neil

there is a pub Grey Horse much nearer than Whittakers Arms but they do not do lunches. However pies, chips ,burgers are available at the ground. Hope we see a good gate ,with a decent game.

Grey Horse has a chippy facing it,

Will the chippy be open on Easter Mon ?

If youre coming over early, i'd say start off in Accrington town centre itself and work your way up to the Ground. Calder, Weatherspoons for you commercialised dwellings or Railway or Castle for a bit of Accrington Character

Crazy, thats a sure way to lose business.

Sadly Chippy is no longer open on matchdays, even missed out on the Eve of the Fleetwood Game as I did not get there until half six and it was shut then!! Theres a chiphouse just off Peel St near the sorting office that ddevil introduced me to but its not the same, I really do miss Johns big meaty sausage.
