2017/18 FA Trophy

[Mark kavanagh]

Think i will become a bromley supporter for 90 minutes for adam mekkis services for bromley and for the fact bromley came to pp to play and had a go at us... entertaining game not anti football

 

[Aberstone]

PS - Was impressed by Wealdstone's central defence and right fullback. Would like to have their No. 5 in our team. Just didn''t seem to have much going forward, and ran out of ideas a bit

Eddie Oshodi, games like Saturday show why he’s played higher up the pyramid.

I also forgot to mention how tinpot it was downgrading the official attendance, definitely nearer 3,000 in the ground on Saturday.

Looks like Bromley have sold as many tickets as all the other clubs put together. It'll be a shame to see other sections half empty.

I'm sure you're right - what's your source of info?

Brackley will take around 3,000 is my guess - but the town is only 12,000 in size... hence why are attendances are amongst the smallest in the National Leagues.

 

[Lucky Bobble]

Brackley ticket sales up to 4,200 - theoretically therefore a third of the town turning up. Don't know how well everyone else is getting on. Glad it is at Wembley for the occasion, but there could be the odd spare seat...

 

[Tin Roofs & Stone Steps]

We’ve shifted over 15,000 so far. Can’t wait for the day.

Good luck!

 

[EricSabin]

Fair few Northampton fans in the Brackley end as well it seems

Top effort that. We only took 19k and 21k on our two visits in the JPT finals. We'd take less than 15k for an FA Trophy game without doubt

 

[Tin Roofs & Stone Steps]

Just over a week to go, been a good buzz about it locally and great to see the numbers of tickets sold still growing.
Hopefully we can turn it into a few more through the gate on a weekly basis.
Record number of season tickets sold already.
Good times, having to pinch myself at it all.

 

[Etienne Vermeer]

Bromley's a fair sized town. I grew up there and would totally be going if I still lived in the area. My parents will be there in the Bromley end!

 

[Tin Roofs & Stone Steps]

Apparently up to 18,000 tickets sold for us this Sunday. This week is starting to drag, cannot wait for Sunday to come round. Town has really got behind the team, schools yesterday did a Bromley kit day and some of the shops have been kitted out in flags and balloons for the game.

 

[rudebwoyben]

See, this is why the FA Trophy exists. It used to have this sort of status among all senior non-league clubs before the promotion play-off final was moved to Wembley.

 

[Lucky Bobble]

5,500 our final ticket sales.
After a very deflating playoff final, and a long season I hope we put in a good performance tomorrow.
Fairly ambivalent about the result - just want us to play well and enjoy being at Wembley in a national competition... punching above our weight

 

[Meadow]

I'm stewarding in the Stockton/Brackley end. Should be an interesting day.

 

[Tin Roofs & Stone Steps]

We held an open day Wembley send off today. Was fantastic and the place was really buzzing. Kids got loads of pics with the players, POTS announcement made and a nice touch was having all the fans there in a photo on the pitch with the squad.

Absolutely buzzing about tomorrow, of course I hope we win but beyond tomorrow I think we’ve really set ourselves up well going forward. Hopefully can keep the majority of the squad together, add a couple quality players and the confidence can go a long way. Doing it the right way, working within our means and growing little by little.

No no no that is completely the wrong way. Just chuck a shit load of cash at it, that's the right way.

 

[Boz]

Hope it’s a good day for all. Think Bromley should have the edge in the Trophy, but an unpredictable side. Unsure about the Vase.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

How Brackley haven't scored I dont know. Should have scored from any one of about five chances in the last 3 minutes.

Certainly wouldnt expect Jimmy Armason to squander those chances either.


Non League Finals Day Attendance 31,430

 

[Harrier94]

Wow. Fair play Brackley.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Thoroughly deserved equaliser from Brackley who have been fantastic in this second half.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Brackley deserve that. What a fantastic advert this has been for non league football. Great watch. The players must be feeling it now though

 

[Pablosammy]

What a cracker of a final!

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Brackley deserve that. What a fantastic advert this has been for non league football. Great watch. The players must be feeling it now though

With 11 men on the pitch? Tinpot.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

Bromley have been far too negative second half, they really have encouraged the Brackley pressure. Impossible to tell which is the higher placed team for quality but for passion, guts and determination Brackley win hands down.

Mekki highlighting why he was at Tranmere.. and then released. Some quality for the goal, but work rate isn't high enough and subbed off after 70? minutes due to poor fitness.

Could be goals in this extra time..

 

[doveranddover]

More Brackley players in the box than Bromley defenders for the equalizer

[GuiseleySteve]

Refreshing to see a referee let the game flow and be consistent in leniency for both teams instead of producing cards left right and center like the usual power crazed bafoons we see.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Feel for the former Tranmere players in the Bromley side, but on the balance, Brackley were the better side and deserved it.
