Former Albion manager John Barton has been named as the caretaker manager at Worcester City.

SETANTA FIXTURE FARCE CONTINUES (15/10/07)

After announcing last week that the away game at Exeter City was being moved to Monday 19th November for live TV coverage, Setanta have now reversed this decision after a major blunder.

The game has now moved back to it's original date of Saturday 17th November to prevent any clash with possible FA Cup replays for either side which would take place during that week.

The decision has angered many Burton fans who had already cancelled trips booked for the original date set when the fixtures were announced in the summer. The decision to move the away game at Weymouth also caused similar problems for fans planning to spend the August bank holiday on the South coast.

ALTRINCHAM 0 BURTON ALBION 0 (09/10/07)

The Brewers continued the unbeaten run with a useful draw at Moss Lane. It was certainly not a classic match, the weather conditions certainly didn't help, but a point away from home is a good return.
