Braintree Town are looking to the future
after announcing plans to move from their Cressing Road
ground to a brand new 6000 capacity stadium close to the
town centre.

Last season saw the club narrowly miss out
on promotion to the Blue Square Premier Division
(formerly the Nationwide Conference) but that setback
hasn't stopped chairman, Lee Harding, from believing
that The Iron can follow in the footsteps of Dagenham
& Redbridge and make the Football League in the not
too distant future.
"There is still a lot of work ahead of us before we
kick a ball at any new stadium but the exceptional
progress that George Borg and the team have brought to
the club over the past two seasons has dictated that it
is now time to look at our long-term future,"
commented Harding.
The proposed new location is a twelve acre plot of land
that lies within the A120 bypass and is just two miles
from the town centre.
Harding's stadium plans include seating for 1000 people,
two training pitches, various function facilities plus
parking for over 400 cars while the existing Cressing
Road site will be retained for the club's reserve, youth
and women's sides.
"We realise that we will only have one opportunity
to move the club to a ground ready for the Football
League and we will take our time to ensure that we get
it right," said Harding.
"Once the formalities have been completed, the next
stage will be to draw up plans and present them to our
shareholders, supporters and the public."
