Bromley FC.,
Hayes Lane,
BROMLEY,
BR2 9EF

In existence since 1894 Bromley FC have made good progress over recent seasons having worked hard  to establish themselves as credible promotion candidates- something they are currently majoring in being in fourth place in the National League as this item is penned.
 
Expect a tough game then!
 



  What Else to Expect .
 
The refurbed stadium   holds 5000 specs, 1300 of whom are seated , with the away support accommodated on the open terrace along the Cricket Club Side Terrace on one side of the pitch. County fans in need of a seat can usually accommodated in the large covered stand behind the goal.





 
Hardy Heroes !




 The away section covers from the corner flag  the halfway line with the  home team dugout  located entertainingly  in front of the visiting fans !
 The terrace is also open to the elements so hope it doesn't rain. Most fans enjoy their visits to Bromley as it is a proper old-fashioned ground with plenty of character.

Food last time included; Doubleburgers , Burgers , Chicken Burgers , Veggieburgers , Bacon Rolls , Hot Dogs ), Steak Pasties , Steak and Ale Pies , Sausage Rolls  and Chips .
 
Blog Gastronomic Adviser J Bruff and his staff !






 Visiting fans are welcome to use Ravens Bar on the ground( except when segregation reigns, so hold your breath on that one ). Away  fans then usually have a temporary bar facility set-up inside the ground near to the turnstiles.

Real Ale Thereabouts ….

Nothing has changed since we were last hereabouts, and Old hedgie recommends the same excellent establishments again, both of which are half a mile away on Masons Hill…….

Firstly the Bricklayers Arms. This traditional pub normally has a good mix of home and away supporters. It offers real ales, food and also has televised live sports.( BR2 9HW)






Then the Bitter End Bar ( BR2 9HY)






 
Enjoy !

Simply Disgraceful !

Simply Disgraceful ! This day will rank in infamy    with some of the darkest in our Club`s history- the owners of Stockport County have sacked Jim Gannon…..a dreadful decision......... totally bereft of merit, and one heralded by a shamefully inadequate announcement, as insulting to County fans as it is to Jim. Champions under Jim in our last completed season, fourth in the league after as impressive a win as any Club Chair could wish to witness from his team on Tuesday, despite the interrupted nature of the current season, and clearly playing well, so this smacks of something other than prudence or good decision making and as for being rational and fair………….. Sadly the Club`s owners rather added to the anger their foolish decision has already triggered, by stating that the decision was not results based, but based on `culture`.   Jim is a proven quality Manager , who knows what it takes to make County tick, has done so many times in the past, and   has forg...

Wrexham 1 Stockport County 2 ( Vanarama National League) 31 August 2019

“Where`s the goals gonna come from”-is a familiar refrain from those wanting County to ship in a new striker every other week, and County once again fully answered that one with “ from almost everywhere” as goals from defenders Sam Minihan and Ash Palmer secured all the points at the Racecourse Ground today against Wrexham. A 2-0 County lead at half time seemed to signal a rout, but Wrexham fought well upon the re-start and made a real match of it , albeit that an imperious display by County`s superb back line limited them largely to shots from distance. The defensive display from JG`s boys, in the second 45 minutes, if somewhat hard on the nerves, was again excellent , but a late goal to the Welshmen made the last few minutes tenser than perhaps they should have been. It all ended well however, as ,   with Festus Arthur on in place of Bell ,for his longest stretch of on the park minutes so far, and Mulhern on for Turnbull, marshalled by Keano and Palmer, ...

Notts County 2 Stockport County 1 ( Vanarama National League) Saturday 23 October 2021

        Perhaps expectations were a touch excessive, after all most visits to Meadow Lane usually result in a stiff test from a home side hell bent on victory. Today was no exception to this as County were outplayed for 94 and a half minutes of the 96 played, by a Notts County side drilled to do the basics correctly, and doing just that. Almost all their passes, no matter the situation, inevitably found a man in a black and white shirt who knew thereafter precisely what they should do with it, whereas if County had no shortage of possession at times, they appeared to be largely lacking a basic pattern to work to that went beyond the sideways pass, and the occasional long ball from Rooney. This resulted in Simon Rusk`s side trailing 2-0 two minutes into four added minutes, when unaccountably the previously immaculately drilled home back line pressed the panic button resulting in a County penalty ( 1-2) and a welter of frenzied County attacks and corners, but it ...
