We again proved everybody wrong. 6th a brilliant team effort.
Need to keep most of our team from this year and add a few new face's.
A 20 goal a season forward needed to finish off good work by everybody.
Can tell you it's being worked on.
Great crowd from Braintree people at Home to Grimsby, If we had that every week who know's.
Remember at Braintree the impossible is possible.

Just imagine what the turnout would have been if we'd won at Barnet!

Attended my first Iron game when we played Dartford after being a long time armchair fan (second team behind my beloved Norwich City) and took the kids along for their first game. 6th is a great achievement this season and Devs& the players deserve so much credit. I hope the nucleus of the team remains and we can attract someone like Strutton for the longer term or even permanently now we've proved the potential is there for league football in the short term.
In terms of off the firld, I for one am looking to be a more regular attendee next season, and would love to bring the kids along as they really enjoyed Dartford & Grimsby. As a local guy however, I was totally unaware of the free kids season tickets this year before attending the game, I would have been there far more had I known and I do think the club could do with some more local advertising.
Does anyone know if this will be the same again next year, as I'll have one for myself as well if thats the case!

The free season tickets for kids was well covered on Iron Chatter. Sadly while hundreds were taken up, the attendance by the recipients has been abysmal. I guess its a bit like free drinks at a function, then the next morning there's dozens of part drunk glasses to be poured away. Put on a small charge and you get a different story. I hope the club can get sponsorship to help subsidise youngsters - they will one day be the adults paying for their families day out! Welcome to our forum onion - what's kept you  |

Welcome to our forum onion - what's kept you Sadly Ozbrit it's the way it is nowadays. Leyton Orient made available 2000 free season tickets to local under 18's and were over subscribed, but only 450 used them and only half of those saw more than 10 games even with the fantastic season the O's have had. This is an area that need a lot of thought going forward. |
