THE Brewers are back at the Pirelli Stadium for the first of two home games in a row starting with play-off chasing Wycombe Wanderers.
DID YOU KNOW?
As a former non-league club like the Brewers, Wycombe used to play in the FA Trophy and were twice winners, in 1991 and 1993.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
In 16 meetings between the two clubs dating back to a 1955 FA Cup tie there has never been a draw. The Brewers have won eight and Wycombe have won eight of those games. Albion have lost the last four league games between the two sides but did record an away win in the Papa Johns Trophy during that time.
MINUTE’S APPLAUSE
There will be a minute’s applause before kick-off to remember Burton Albion and Burton Albion Community Trust Honorary President John Jackson. There will be a tribute to John in the Matchday Brewer.
WOMEN AND GIRLS’ TAKEOVER
This fixture will be used to showcase our development of women and girls’ football development. Our women’s players will be at the Family Zone prior to kick off to meet fans and will do a lap of the pitch at half-time.

Matchball – in Memory of Burton Albion Director Phil Brown
Thank you to all those who paid tribute to Phil, both at the Accrington game on 25th February and at his funeral on 27th February. We have raised over £6,000 split between his two nominated charities, St Giles Hospice and MNDA and we thank everyone for their kind donations. As a family we have been greatly comforted by the kindness of everyone in a terribly sad time. We will continue Phil’s legacy and continue to get behind the Brewers.
