We would have held them better than that.

The really bad news is that an away goal would not have counted double anyway.


That's good news. Means if they concede an early goal at home that they'll only need 10 to get it to extra time.

Honestly, if Town were in a semi final at Man City, how many tickets would we sell?  I cannot believe Burton only sold 3000 tickets for the biggest game in their history!  Looking at the Man City fans who've not bothered turning up for this competition all season, I'd imagine they would have given 10,000 tickets to the away team if they'd asked for them.  To be fair to us and maybe other clubs like (cough) Lincoln, we WOULD have asked for them.  Shows you how well Burton Albion have done over the years punching well above their weight, size-wise they're a League Two club at best, maybe even conference.

As for the scoreline, I was saying to someone the other week that Town would be hammered out of sight if we played Man City or Liverpool right now because they're THAT good, but 9-0?!  Wow.  I'm not so sure the Albion fans will turn up for the home leg either now........

The home leg is sold out with a capacity just under 7k

We took 5000 to Highbury in 2001 for a League Cup midweek match against Arsenal, which was good going considering the distance and the fact that it was a midweek evening fixture.

But on the plus side if Burton win the second leg 10-1 it still goes to extra time and penalties........
