Winning the FA Trophy (Andy Woodman has put on a bit of weight)
Trivial fact - Palace used to win 5-1 at least once a season, maybe next season? |

A great win. I believe this would be Bromley's first victory in the premier non-league knock out competition since winning the old Amateur Cup in 1949! I always check out the Bromley result. I grew up in the area and my first football matches were Isthmian League games at Hayes Lane in the early 60s. Same here. I go back as far as Eric Nottage, bit of a goal scorer back in the day

My first game was a 2-4 home defeat to Sutton United in November 1963. It started snowing in the 2nd half. Edited by Pete53 (23 May 2022 10.06pm)

I think for anyone familiar with Bromley FC and Dave Robert's books, it was pretty incredible that they finally won the FA Trophy a few months after his passing. Have fond memories of Hayes Lane and thoroughly recommend the books. I never knew about the books or film until this thread. I'm from Hayes, Bromley. My brother was always at Bromley - if Palace weren't at home. The "crowds" were perhaps 100s - if that.

Season tickets on offer at the moment for £97. Worth a punt of you can't afford a season ticket at Palace or simply can't get the bloody website to work. A club on the up and Woody seems to be finding his feet as a coach/manager I’ve bought one as I usually do a few Bromley games every season anyway. At £20 per game, you only have to do 5 games and you’re saving money, bargain!!

Had a great day out at Bromley yesterday. A convincing 3-0 win over Solihull Moors sets them up nicely for the play-offs. And I got to meet the Guest of Honour - Eric Nottage !

I previously mentioned him in this thread as one of the players I particularly remember from the 1960s.

In the playoff final now. Would be a good place to loan promising youth players to, being a stone's throw away from the Palace training ground.
