Brentwood Town
season was to be in and around the top
half of the table and seeing whether the
team could challenge for the play-offs,
but he concedes, “The play-off group
have pulled away now, so being realistic,
I cannot see us catching them unless we
go on an unbelievable run until the end
of the season. So, top half of the table is
still our target.”
Attendances at home matches have
improved again this season and the
fan base has grown at home and away
matches. Shipman appreciates the
support and says, “It is superb for a club
of our size to be followed each week by
a group of hard-core fans. It makes such
a difference and is much appreciated by
the players.”
The ethos of the Club has always
been to provide an opportunity for those
in the local community. The Brentwood
Town youth section was established
in the mid-1990s by current Chairman
Brian Hallett, and there are now teams
from U7 upwards, including six in the
Eastern Junior Alliance from Under-13
through to Under-18.
The Under-18s had a good run in the
FA Youth Cup this season, reaching the
1st round proper where they were beaten
4-1 by Luton Town at Kenilworth Road.
Some of that team have appeared in the
1st team squad this season while others
are featuring in the club’s Under-23
development team.
“My association with Brentwood
Town FC stretches back several
years to when I served on the
committee. They are a nice
community football club that
punches well above their weight.
Hopefully, in time, they will be able
to attract more financial backers
into the club. I have sponsored the
club for around ten years and one
of the really positive factors about
Brentwood Town FC is their success
in attracting younger players into
the game. Keep on doing what you
are doing and enjoy your football.”
Jason Webster
Off the field, the biggest challenge the
club faces in the short term is upgrading
the facilities to ensure they maintain
their status in step 4 of the National
League System. The immediate priority
is to increase the size of the dressing
rooms for first team fixtures to meet the
FA’s requirements.
Looking further ahead, the Club
has been looking for some time into the
feasibility of installing a 3G pitch, either
on the main arena or on the field outside
the ground where there are currently
three grass pitches used on Sundays by
the youth section.
