With a little work...and good results.... I think we can top this one.

Jeez, Leyton will be mobbed by us!!!! - Great

Looking forward to encouraging those supporters down to watch us "clean" up the league.

 

Will there be a "Bryco" cup this season?

Our last two home attendances were 550 and 600 (admittedly aided by the lure of cheap beer). If we start doing well I reckon we could average 700+. My worry is that looking at those attendances we wont be seeing too much in the way of away fans next season whilst of course the Blue Army will probably be providing everyone else with their biggest home gate of the season.

[Simon BTFC]

One factor in this that nobody has picked up on is that there will be less games next season as we'll be playing in a 22 team league as opposed to 24 - less games mean less midweek games - less midweek games means higher average gates all round <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

 

Of course after we storm through to the 3rd round of the FA cup and win the Trophy we'll be facing a fixture pile-up <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

If Chelmsford go back to their own borough, they will top the Attendance Charts.

 

Dont you think?

[Simon BTFC]

Would certainly expect a substantial increase. Whether they would average in excess of 800 for the season is anyone's guess!

 

So far as Billericay's gates go, I'm positive we'll be up at around the 600 mark at least.

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

Simon, plus as you mentioned on the other thread Eastleigh, wont they have all the Saints fans come and watch them when the saints are away to watch their former idols.

 

Ourselves, two years ago, we were getting about 400, so if we make a good start from the starting blocks, expect our gates at the Iron to be higher than last year.

[Ryan.c]

You're expecting an average of 253 then.

[GazzaBTFC]

Only if they can get their tractors parked up

[Ryan.c]

Thier car-park will look like Ford New-Holland!

[Iron Webbo]

Boys, boys, boys, it really is too early to start all that stuff. You know you'll only get my good friend the Cruncher up on his high horse (or should that be tractor!).

 

Anyway, credit to you, I think you'll be strong and the decision to go full-time is a very brave one. With all your money though, I expect you guys to lead from the front.

 

At Braintree the decision to bring in George is a positive one and we hope to do better next season. With the Clarets with us, plus Keith Martin at Heybridge I think we're going to have a lively season.

 

Enjoy your summer.

[Tuffley Rebel]

Slough Town always travel well and will probably bring a minimum of 100. Depending on our position and when we play you we could bring as many as 200.

[BFR]

I agree with those figures on a weekend. For a midweek fixture we'd still hope to bring 70-80

[Simon BTFC]

I'm not saying anything but, this was the picture last time Braintree came to visit:

 

 

[Iron Webbo]

Simon, was that when we won 1-0? <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

 

As it turned out, they were the three points that kept you out of the play-offs. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Don't big yerself up, it was Kingstonian that stopped us from getting to thye play off's as they beat us directly after our Canvey win

[Paul S]

To be fair, the three points that stopped us reaching the play-offs could have been any of the 24 defeats we suffered throughout the season starting at aylesbury and finishing with grays

[GazzaBTFC]

True

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

To be fair the reason you didn't make the play offs was because you were horse sh*t all season!

[c'mon ricay]

Pretty good horse s**t as we took 4 points off you last season.
