I think Braintree were formed 1 year after us and have always had the name ‘The Iron’ . Could be an interesting legal case ahead because wasn’t Scunthorpe United at one time known as ‘The Knuts’ before changing its name ?
Maybe have a nationally important steelworks as primary employer in the town might just swing it for our team with that link being important to fans aswell as the club. Can’t remember the last steelworks in Braintree, when was that now, erm?……..
