CLUB: Bromley FC



How long have you been supporting Bromley?

I have supported Bromley for 29 years. Went to my first game as a 6 year old in 1977.

Who would you consider your main rivals, and why?
Hard to say it's a generational thing, many my age and older would say Dulwich Hamlet, local rivals we have competed with for years, although younger fans would say Welling, Sutton and now AFC Wimbledon. Mainly due to the intense nature of the games we've played. Cray Wanderers share our ground, but a lot of Bromley fans like them.

Best game of the season so far?
Beating Grays Athletic 2-1 away in the last round of the FA Cup. Beating a full time side from two divisions above is some achievement.

Worst game of the season so far?
Losing 2-1 away to Ashford Town (Kent) in the League Cup, we played a mainly reserve side and it was awful.

Who's your star player?
Sam Wood, all action left wing-back with boundless energy and ability. We picked him up from Cray just over a year ago.

Whose name makes you groan when you hear they're on the teamsheet?
To be honest no one this season they've all played their part.

Any promising youngsters to look out for?
Sam Wood (19), he was playing in Cray's first team at 17!

If money was no object, which player from our level of football would you sign?
Kaleb Folan at Chesterfield, we need another striker due to injuries.

Are you happy with your current manager?
Very, Mark Goldberg had proved many doubters wrong. We are top of the Ryman League and in the first round of the FA Cup! Still in the FA Trophy, London & Kent Senior Cups.

Describe your team in three words.
Never Say Die.

Finally, your score prediction for the match.
I think you'll just be too strong for us so 3-1 to Gills, but we'll give you a good game.


Likely Bromley starting XI
Walker, Corneille, Wood, Duku, Henriques, O'Sullivan, Adeniyi, Moore, Watts, McDonnell, Blackman.
