A football club's supporters are appealing for help in transporting them to away games.

Starting from next season, Braintree Town manager George Borg has asked that the club coach is purely for players and directors.

Previously, the coach taking the players and management to away fixtures would also have some seats for supporters.

Mark Bundock, of Braintree Town Supporters' Association, said: "I can appreciate George and the club's position and understand their reasons to make us the team a more professional outfit and improve the team.

"We, the supporters, are left with a situation to solve. A few of the regulars I have spoken to would be willing to drive the minibus and I think we will need to discuss it at a meeting for all supporters."

If you are able to aid the fans, contact the supporters' club on 07739 847552.
