TELFORD GAME - FREE TO ALL
Free admission for Vanarama football
Braintree Town, supported by both the Braintree & Witham Times and BBC Essex will be offering FREE admission to all for the Vanarama Conference match against AFC Telford United on Tuesday 24th March, with kick-off at 7.45pm.
Chairman Lee Harding was quick to thank both the local newspaper and radio for their excellent support: "We really do appreciate their help in spreading the word about the free admission for this game. We know times are hard for a lot of people at the moment and that many follow the Club, but are unable to afford the cost. To say thank you to all our regular supporters and help those that would like to come along, we've decided to make the game free to all-comers and hope that the town and district will get behind the team for what will be a big game for us."
For more details of how to find the ground click on the 'Find Us' link on the Club website!

A fantastic initiative by the board. This deserves to be a huge success. Come on Iron fans, lets get behind this and make sure we let everyone know about this and encourage as many people along as we can.

We liked the way Lincoln City advertises it's matches with a banner right across it's main shopping street. Wouldn't it be great if we could do something similar across the narrow end of Bank Street.

Could someone put together a FB ad that we can all share I bumped into Sid, he used to go all the time about 10 years ago, he now goes every now and then and he didn't know about this. No offence but you need to look at a way of advertising for those not on the internet, like Sid. The people who read facebook would have probably read it on Iron chatter and the main website. There are many people that are not on the internet and they would be potentially lost customers. An idea, someone needs to go into the local pubs and just by word of mouth spread the word, go up to these blokes at half time and just boldly plug it, places like the Bull etc. With Tv's on showing football, go in on a Saturday or Sunday when they are packed. A few of us before put leaflets on cars, but the problem with that is they litter the street and you get told off in the multi story car park, but ideas like that may work.  Anyway, that is my suggestion. (Don't report me...  ) Found the answer....... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nedVpG-GjkE |

The Supporters Club Shop will also have a couple of special offers just for this match (these will only be available in the supporters club shop on the night)
We will be making up a limited amount of free goody bags just for the under 16s which will contain some of our current season Braintree Town home programmes – Due to the limited numbers, these will only be available on a first come first served basis and limited to one per person
We will also be offering sets of our popular Braintree Town Trade Cards on sale at just £3 for a set of 12. There are 2 different sets (24 cards) available for as little as £6 for both sets (usual price £10).

Spent most of Monday trying to get posters in shops in Braintree/Rayne/Felsted etc.
Hope other people are trying also to get posters up.
Great support from Boydons estate agents... Poster/Ball/Shirt all in front window plus wanted our commercial guy to go round
and talk to them about some new advertising now.

I can see that BBC Essex are sponsoring this match it's on the flyer. In which way are they sponsoring it. As Barry Shepherd had to email the station did they forget about the arrangement? I hope they don'forget to send the sponsor money.

Going by the BBC commentaries site it doesn't look as if they intend even running a commentary of the game.

Are these real figures, or do they include the 200 or so free tickets given out to the under 16s? In other words were there actually only around 200-250 people at the games? On crowds like that it's even more of a miracle that we're managing to compete at this level
