Burton's game with Bury has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. They have now only played 4 league games since Nov 27th. Assuming all other games go on today, they will have played anywhere between 5-9 games less than all other teams in League Two. I know a non-league team last year had to play about 11 games 20 days or something ridiculas in order to catch up, but has a football league team ever been so many games behind the rest of the clubs in its division?

It'll probably cost them dear. It's okay having game sin hand but you've got to turn them into points and as two of those games are against us, that's no points for a start.

Huge financial implications as well, in the short run anyway.

Yeh this is not good for them at all, the constant tue-sat playing will have a severe detrimental effect on the fitness and injuries.

It's the fans I feel for the most. Last Saturday, how many of you felt lost without a Cobblers game to go to/listen to on the radio?
These Burton fans have had about 8 or 9 of these empty Saturday's (some week night's) to contend with.

I am surprised that Burton are not playing this Tuesday - unless the Chron have missed them off the midweek fixyure list, you would have thought they would at least want to get one game on

I think they are going down as a result of this.

Did you notice that if bottom-but-one Burton won all their games in hand on fourth placed Shrewsbury they'd actually go above them?
