Braintree boss Alan Devonshire is searching for a big crowd to visit the Amlin today as his side take on former league side Barnet.
The Iron, who have made a solid start to their third season in the Conference Premier, take on the Bees in their Bank Holiday Monday fixture.
Barnet, relegated from the Football League last season, have made a good start to life back in non-league with two wins and a draw from three matches.
They are managed by Edgar Davids, whose former clubs include European sides Ajax, AC Milan, and Juventus as well as Tottenham among his former clubs. Devonshire is hoping the Bees game will attract a big attendance.
"I think it will," he said. "We had nearly a thousand on Tuesday [against Woking] and 900 on Saturday [against Kidderminster].
"The initiative with free tickets for youngsters has helped us and there's lot more noise around the place, and I'm sure on Monday it'll be a better atmosphere as I'm sure they'll bring a few.
"We've had two decent performances at home, we've beaten Woking and were unfortunate not to get a result against Kidderminster and now we've got another good side.
"Let's hopefully get a good result on Saturday to set us up for that.
"I don't think you would have expected Edgar Davids to be at this level, so it'll be another good game.
"Barnet are a decent side and they've started off really well, they're second in the league so another tough game, but all I'm looking at is Saturday's game."
Team news and updates will be available from all our non-league sides after 2pm.
