I take it were ok to pay on the gate?


It was last time we went (last match of the 203/14 season) and we're going on Saturday.

Finding the ground can be a challenge - it's in the middle of a run down housing estate. It's probably the worst pitch I've ever seen us play on too, so don't have too many hopes.

I got a horrible feeling that there will be flash floods in Braintree on Saturday and the game will be called off.

Things have always conspired against me and this will be my first visit to Braintree. The season of the 5-0 defeat I was all booked on a minibus to go but was rushed into hospital the day before and spent that day in the operating theatre having my head cut open! The following season, again I was all booked to go on the Saturday, but the game was postponed and my brother had bought me tickets for a Christmas present to see Milton Jones at The Auditorium on the evening it was rearranged for. The next season when we drew 0-0 last game I was on a stag do in Nottingham (although if there had been anything riding on that game, then I would have gone) and last season it was when I was away on holiday!

On Oddschecker I can only see 3 bookies offering correct score odds. 5-0 is 66/1 with Bet365, 90/1 with Ladbrokes and 100/1 with Betfair.

I think one or two are living in a dream world if they think there's much chance of it being 5-0. The odds are as big as that for a reason.
Probably our toughest away game this season so far after Wrexham.

Think they're a big strong outfit. Got some big unit called Akinola up front who is supposed to be a handful. Agree with chaos it'll be tough but see no reason we can't go and get a result. Sounds like a Tomlinson-JPP kind of game to me.

Braintree have got the best defensive record in the division.

But they're record at home isn't great (W2 D2 L3).

I was thinking that that first time at Braintree needed exorcising, until I read Les' reason for not attending. Strewth, talk about perspective.

But still, it'd be nice to come full circle.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
