The stadium has been the home of many historic triumphs, where the voice of the fan has echoed alongside the voice of famous commentators. The current commercial name of the stadium — endowed by the contemporary branding partnership with Rare Breed Meat — speaks directly to a modernity that blends grassroots tradition with commercial dynamism.

Upcoming events at Cressing Road Stadium, Braintree
The Braintree Cressing Road Stadium is an English football ground that has been home to the non-league Braintree Town Football Club since 1923. With its name having become synonymous with non-league football in Essex and East Anglia, the stadium effectively serves as Braintree Town FC's headquarters and gathering place for supporters prior to home fixtures and important non-league matches.
Earlier in the last century, matches between teams connected to the local Crittall Window Company led to company-funded investment in the ground. Since then, the venue has undergone a number of renovations, including recent additions such as new seating in the open-air section under its commercial name, Rare Breed Meat Stadium. Over the decades the ground has remained a focal point for the club and its community.
Cressing Road Stadium Facts and Figures
The stadium accommodates approximately 553 spectators across seated and standing areas, an intimate capacity that keeps fans close to the pitch. Renovations over time have updated seating and facilities while retaining the compact, traditional non-league layout that characterises the ground. The modest capacity means popular fixtures can sell out, and the small footprint ensures most positions feel involved in the action.
