Pre match boozer

[milltown70]

Coming over to game next Saturday from Ireland and wondering where would be best place to go for a few beers before the match. Congrats on the play offs.

Railway, Prittlewell or Spread Eagle, Vic Ave.
There are Bars at the ground as well.

Lol, fair point MK, Blue Boar (strangely) is the most traditional away bar at the moment. Strangely, as most of us know already, because that is where our fair football club was formed!

The Shrimpers Bar at the ground is also open to both home and away fans :smile: and usually has a very good guest ale or two.

Surely Burton is a brewery town rather than a milltown? :winking::winking:

The Miltown Brothers, ah baggy where for art thou? It's like 1990 all over in my head.

I don't think Milltown70 is a Burton fan but coming over from Ireland as a ground hopper or might even be a Southend fan?

The "congrats on the playoffs" line said he's not a Shrimper to me. I may be wrong.

When you coming over Milltown? If you're on the flight into Southend that morning I'll buy you a pint and give you the low-down.

I'm an ex-Milltown resident too. Small world.

It's a Marmite town as well. Standing down wind of the Bass Brewery and Marmite factory when both were kicking up used to knock you for six.

I thought you meant you either love Burton or hate Burton

The Golden Lion is a good pub to go to
