Burton Albion

Burton Albion will play Mickleover Sports at the Raygar Stadium on Monday, 29th July; 7:45pm kick off.

 

It is the final match of the Brewers’ pre-season schedule and  comes the week after Gary Rowett’s side entertain Derby County and Walsall at the Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday, 23rd and Friday, 26th July respectively.

 

The match will also commemorate the life of Burton Albion and Mickleover Sports supporter Keith Calladine.

 

Keith passed away following a heart attack whilst attending the Mickleover Sports v Buxton match at the Raygar Stadium on March 28th 2012; having watched the Brewers the previous evening at the Pirelli Stadium.

 

Ray Garlick, who enjoys a strong association with both clubs and was a close friend of Keith, commented: ‘If I had to say something about my best friend Keith, I would say that it was an honour and a privilege to know him, call him a gentleman and even more so my best friend.

 

‘The evening will be a perfect way to celebrate Keith’s life and hopefully raise some money for a very worthy cause in the British Heart Foundation.’

 

Tickets are available on the gate priced at £6 adults and £3 concessions with children granted free entry to the match; with half of the gate receipts being donated to the British Heart Foundation.
