Congrats to all for a magnificent show on Sunday. Heroes all round but you’re dead right, Machel, we are now in unchartered and very expensive new territory. It cost Sutton £500,000 to replace their pitch when they went up two years ago; it will now cost Bromley at least as much (if not more) and not a lot less than that to import the 5/6 new players we’ll realistically need to avoid suffering the relegation fate Sutton have now suffered. But to heck with that for the moment, it’s just great to bask in the glory of a job marvellously well done and, for once, get an apology from me for doubting that Andy Woodman had done as much as he could at Hayes Lane. With the right support who knows what lies ahead, and I for one will be more than happy to pay whatever increase in the price of my season ticket to see how we fare. Finally, you and I have not always agreed on the good, the bad, and the ugly, old chap, but your views have always been an entertaining and well written read. So I say to you and everyone else at the club - thank you and keep up the good word!

In my 60+ years of football watching,of which Bromley was my first,this was the most intense of all in so many ways.

I was once critical of the manager,not so much recently,he will never need to buy a beer if i’m in the room.

I wonder where we are without Cheek and Webster and their undoubted impact on the youngsters.

When the Captain,a centre half,37 years old steps up to take the pressure penalty with a wry smile and a wink that is worth 60 years of my money.

I am not at all moved by the Solihull fans breaking through the non existent minimum wage security.Well done to them for thinking they can influence the game its not like they missbehaved this was spontaneous and benign,no bottles flares or missiles thrown just lights on their mobiles against a man with bigger balls than the Moons of Jupiter.

Bromley deserved the win,the players,manager,Chairman and long suffering fans.

They deserve all the accolades and now holidays and family time.

League 2. for me holds no great excitement as i’ve been there and most of the games are no more attractive than those we have seen in the NL,off course there are a few that are a level above.

We await the Chairmans/club announcement on ST prices,I expect him to surprise us with a very reasonable offer.

I await the Chairmans next ‘vision’ having delivered what some once thought impossible.

There is always a vision and now a new target,an incentive to achieve and grow the fan base further,lessons to learn from the sad demise of Sutton and the years of effort and £M’s of Vegan pies thrown at FGR.

Where will that new target take us.The days of moaning about being shit are destined for room 101.

Enjoy the Summer…..
