Got to lol at that comment "didnt realize Donny had that many fans", a bit rich coming from a Burton fan.
Given that 700 away fans went that means they only had 3400 of their own for a home game.

Atually hound it was 700 advanced sales, as we had to pay for any extra tickets as a bulk order whether we sold them or not. So probably nearer 1000 as I was sat on  the side  looking at behind the goal. Where we were sat there was no segregation whatsoever. Interesting when they play Millwall or Leeds in the unlikely event they go up!

Not one to bang on about attendances really but for the top of League One that is laughable.

Yeah but it's a small town near some big clubs.  They've done remarkably well given the size of club.  Not sure they'll sustain it under clough but reminiscent of yeovil.

No it isn't.

That isn't what football is all about.  So what if Burton is a relatively "small" club with a small-ish fan base?  They have done very well to get where they are, and that is why we have the pyramid structure in football.
