So Braintree offer us 600 ,  for a Sunday game when more bodies are available ,   they have similar ticket availability  but just how many have they sold to come here ?     I can't see why we don't do as Wembley and make the away club buy tickets to sell , if they don't sell them hard luck .  Why should we open up a 2000 seater stand for 40 odd ( if we're lucky  )   and empty 8 stewards.   Not very cost effective .

We're not, they have only been allocated the Osmond Corner, behind the goal is for Town fans.

Their ground guide says the away end holds up to 1,000 fans..... so how come for a
match that is segregated they only offer 600....????

( apologies in advance if this has been discussed elsewhere but i've been off the radar for 9 days )

I honestly believe it's time to start electing clubs back into the league like the old days , A club like Braintree is already showing why they should never get a chance to join the top 92

Wouldn't go that far, the 'big boys club' etc.

Braintree want to make home advantage count, they can do as they please within the yardstick of their requirements under the rules.

No different to say a premiership team giving away fan's minimal allocation and sticking them up in the gods on a side stand or something.

This works both ways...........it could be argued that Mr Vince's brown paper envelopes would be bigger than Mr Fenty's if this was the way into the FL.

Would be open season for gratuities, bribes, bungs and just plain corruption.........it would look very fishy if next year 72FL club chairman all had new solar panels on their houses and VGR went up.
