Brewers lifted to football league

On 26 April 2009, Burton Albion ceased to be a non-league side and were promoted to the Football League Division 2.

Surprisingly, on that day, the Brewers lost 2-1 to Torquay United but other results going their way meant that, by the time the final whistle was blown, the side already knew its fate.

At one point in the season, Burton Albion were 21 points ahead of their nearest rivals - but a run of poor results meant their lead dwindled to almost nothing.
