NEW: PIRELLI STADIUM FEATURE

The Pirelli Stadium was bought into action at the start of the 2005-2006 season. Costing £7 million the Stadium was expected to be a work of art, some would agree it is, some wouldnt.
 
Holding 6,250 the Pirelli Stadium is no Wembley, but copes well with the 1850 average gate the the brewers get each week, and with a decent season on the horizon, bigger crowds are expected. It is just a matter of time before the brewers manage to get over 2,000 each game, but because the football quality is usually so poor then the gates are usually lower.
