Burton Albion await promotion fate

TODAY could prove a vital day in the history of Burton Albion - and the Brewers aren't even playing. Walsall take on Fleetwood Town at the Banks's Stadium and the result there could see Albion win promotion to the Championship for the first time - in their first ever League One season. Nigel Clough's side gave their automatic promotion hopes a major shot in the arm with the latest of 2-1 victories over Gillingham on Saturday - Tom Naylor heading home the winner in the 92nd minute. It put them six points clear of the Saddlers, who have two games to play. It means that Walsall need to win today in order to take the promotion race to the final day - next Sunday sees Albion away at Doncaster Rovers. But should Fleetwood, fighting to avoid relegation, take a point or three from the Banks's Stadium, Albion can celebrate. Kick-off is at 12.15pm and we will know around 2pm whether Albion are promoted, or whether they must wait for the final day. We will have a live blog running throughout the day, focusing on events at the Banks's Stadium, and we want you to get involved. Leave your comments at the bottom of the page, tweet us @AshWilkinsonBM, @JoshuaMurrayBM and @BurtonMailSport and post on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/BurtonSport). Get involved - and let's see whether the Brewers can make history today, or whether they must try to do so against Doncaster on Sunday.
