Albion can claim lineage from Burton Swifts F.C., Burton Town F.C., Burton United F.C., and Burton Wanderers F.C., who were all failed football clubs (with them all playing at Lloyds Foundry). Albion began life at the Lloyds Foundry ground on Wellington Street, but high attendances meant that the club quickly searched for a more suitable home. Eton Park was built off Derby Road and officially opened on September 20, 1958, coinciding with their promotion to the Southern League. From then until its demolition in 2005 the Brewers played all of their home games at Eton Park (it was also used as the home ground for many Derby County reserve matches). It was demolished to make way for housing, as the club had just completed a new stadium, at a cost of £7.2 million. It is situated directly opposite Eton Park and was named the Pirelli Stadium, situated as it was a short distance from Pirelli's factory in Burton. The stadium has an increased capacity, firstly named at 6,000, but then later raised to 6,500, and the first match played there was a friendly between Burton Albion and Chester City on Saturday 16 July 2005.

The Brewers are enjoying their best ever league run this year and have been in and out of the play off positions. Burton Albion are in fact the fifth main team that Burton has had after the past four have folded, similar to Wigan Athletic in Wigan. Burton has had a chequred history of football clubs and due to the area's main sport being rugby (although that is no longer the case), many former Burton teams have struggled financially. Thanks in no small way to shrewd financial management, strong personal leadership by chairman Ben Robinson,and the dream FA Cup run versus Manchester Utd in 2005-6, the club currently enjoys the sort of stability that other less fortunate clubs envy.

  • 2005 - Moved to the Pirelli Stadium
  • 2006 - Reached the third round of the FA Cup, against a second-string Manchester United team, drawing 0-0, in what is being described as one of the biggest shocks in the history of the FA Cup. The on-loan goalkeeper, Saul Deeney, even kept Man Utd superstars Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo out of the net, earning little Burton and their manager Nigel Clough a money spinning replay at Old Trafford taking their total earnings from their F.A Cup run close to £1 million. The replay was played in front of a seated Old Trafford record away support of 11,500 Burton fans. The result of the match was 5-0 to Manchester United with goals by Louis Saha, Giuseppe Rossi (2), Kieran Richardson and Ryan Giggs. Great credit must go to Sir Alex Ferguson who paid handsome compliments to Nigel Clough's team and treated the club with great respect. It was Sir Alex and his youthful side who had officially opened the brand new Pirelli Stadium alongside Brian Clough's widow Barbara earlier in the season. Burton Mail Article 15/11/2005.
  • 2006 - Saw 'The Brewers' knocked out of the FAC in the 1st round by local Staffordshire rivals Tamworth FC. The Brewers gifted an equaliser when the keeper was caught out by strong winds and carried the ball over the line and the tie was later rather fortunately decided with a strike by Tamworth striker Jon Stevenson capitalizing on a poor header by Ryan Austin. Burton soon dusted themselves off however, and their 'concentration on the league' campaign clearly paid off with a consistent run, culminating in a top 5 play-off position over the hectic Christmas period.
