View Full Version : Burton v Wolves Cup Final
Did anyone else go to the Birmingham Senior Cup Final at Burton's old ground (Eton Park I Think) years ago. Can't remember the year, late 80's perhaps.
But guess what?, we drew, and had a replay at Molineux brfore we lifted the silverware ! Groan !

No but I did go to Burton to watch an FA Cup Tie against Willenhall many years. Greedy gits were the only none league ground I visited who tried to charge us for going onto their club. We did not bother. Lost 2-1 as well.

After being put 1-0 up by Johnny Muir I think. I wasn't there (may not have been born long before!!) butI understand things got a bit nasty. I wonder if Burton had 11,000 balloon-releasing, jester-hatted 'fans' that day, showing us 'what non league football is all about'
