What a great weekend. Both my teams top of the league.
Having moved over to Burton 14 years ago from Derby/Notts border Burton have become my adopted team but Derby will always be my team!
I never thought I'd be able to support two teams but Burton have captured me in some way.
I'm a season ticket holder at both and went to watch both at Wembley (very expensive weekend).
Both teams have different qualities and both are enjoyable to watch much better to watch then the airy fairy Premier league so to have them both top of the league and striving for promotion makes me very proud to be able to watch both journeys unfold.
However I need them both to be promoted directly as my wife wants a kitchen and so I'm unable to take out another mortgage for the play offs.
So come on you Brewers/Rams!!!!!
What a great weekend!

That's as good as it gets...I hope both teams are still in the same positions at the end of the season. I feel there's a very good chance they will be.

I am absolutely delighted about the Brewers situation. I keep looking at that league table.
I have a run-in chart and am really confident that next year we will be in league 1 via an automatic promotion.
The record of Jimmy as manager is absolutely incredible. P16 W10 D5 L1. In fact, but for the Sheriff howler at Shrewsbury, it would be an unbeaten record!
I have already begun to think that if we are to start next season in league 1 it will be with a new manager.

Regarding the 'airy fairy Premier League', this will be the first season that I have not watched Match of the Day at all since I was about 7. I am 12 now .
I like listening to the Premier League commentaries on the radio, I like the debate and conjecture but I don't have any enthusiasm for watching the product itself. Year on year I have steadily got more disinterested in it.
