Did something tonight that I've not done for some time now - I logged into the CMTD forum to see what other Burton supporters had to say about all things Burton. What is going on there?!
While I accept that this board has significantly fewer members than CMTD, on there it seems that there is a handful of posters who have one opinion and the remainder of users either agree with them or their views are disregarded and derided. The levels of personal abuse are staggering and in opening four topics at random, each descended into name calling and who was the better Burton supporter.
And is it me or are the three or four Corbett apologists on there living in a dream world? Accusing Amankwaah of being responsible for the first Aldershot goal last week was hysterical - he wasn't even on the pitch at the time!
They say that good things come in small packages, so I'm more than happy posting on here and hearing the balanced views offered up by all of you.
Another Burton Message Board....

Well said all of the above, it is reasuring to know that when you put a comment on here you know true Brewers fans are reading and reply constructivly, we are all pulling in the same direction and although we might have slightly differing views we deal with it like sensible adults. I have to start Chemotherapy in mid January and will not be able to attend as regularly as i wish. I know you boys on here will keep me informed of whats really happening and that will be my lifeline to the club i have supported for nearly 45 years. Keep up the good work lads and keep us no1 on JA606

Ditto Emnez's words terraceman, wishing you all the best for January and onwards.
I can't say that my match reviews are anything like as good as those otep pens, but I'll try my best if needed!

Good bit of research Dave, I enjoy sharing news and opinions with Burton fans. Im only signed up to this forum site and one Swindon one and enjoy both. It's a shame other teams fans in our division don't use this site as I enjoy some banter but mainly to share views with other fans supporting teams in our league. We have a really tough tie against the high flying Huddersfield tomorrow but as we know its the FA cup
So anything could happen. Best of luck to the Brewers too.

Thank you to all of you who have wished me well on this site, it is very much appreciated, I will still make the home games up until my Chemo starts and hopefully a few for the rest of the season. I love the honest opinions expressed on here with us all having the Brewers very much at heart, once again thank you to all.

All the very best Terraceman. I hope that your imminent treatment does the trick, the side effects are not too uncomfortable and that you have a speedy recovery.
It puts things totally in to perspective for me. We all moan about bad referees, poor tactics, bad players, missed opportunities and such like. It is only a game. There are much more important things in life.
Anyway Terraceman, make sure that you are ok for travelling to an away game in May. I think that we are playing at Wembley in a play off final then.
