Belfast Town	April 19, 2014, 10:52pm
Cocktail Drinker Posts: 1,669 Posts Per Day: 0.33 Reputation: 84.69% Rep Score: +14 / -2 Location: Belfast (obviously!) Approval: +1,689 Gold Stars: 19	Was in the ticket office today picking up my tickets for Monday. The conversation was about whether Braintree away would be all ticket. It all depends, obviously, on what happens on Monday. Does anyone know how many the ground holds and the size of the away end (if indeed they have segregation!). Would hate to think I might have to try and get a day return from Belfast to Stansted!

I will say - 'Alan Devonshire' has done a fantastic job for Braintree but at the end of the day - Braintree in the Football League is not sustainable.

As a number of clubs have shown in the conference this season, there isn't a real divide in the quality between most part-time players and the full-time ones, we just pay our players the difference of what the part-time players get from their 9-5 jobs. A lot of them probably earn more than our boys in total between their football and their day jobs.

Why not? They play 46 games on Tuesdays and Saturdays, same as in this division. Nobody says you have to be full time.
