I think it’s 30+ years since anyone promoted from the 5th division has come straight back down the following season.
Really? That’s an amazing stat, I was under the impression that teams in the 5th division being fully professional is a relatively recent thing (which presumably makes it easier to adjust) but I’m guessing that’s not the case?

Used to be only one team relegated from that league for years, which helped.
I think I'm right in saying that Bromley is the largest Borough in London. The catchment area for the football club is huge. Should Bromley survive the 1st couple of seasons in league Two then I'm confident they will attract enough investment and support to establish themselves as a league club.

I didn't think it had ever happened since Scarborough became the first automatically promoted side in 1987. I can't find a list to prove or disprove it though, I just always thought it was true.
I think Sutton United had to spend a lot of money changing their pitch. From another thread our new pitch is going to cost £1.4 million. I would guess it might be a similar amount to rip up a plastic pitch and start a new grass one. Maybe league money and Wembley money will pay for the pitch, so strengthening the squad will probably have to come from money collected from other sources. As with Barrow, Bromley will need to make a little go a long way. The ground will very probably fill the 5000 capacity for a number of games. But that is not a huge income generator, so on the football side loans will matter. McGrandles and Fraser might suit them, they have a history of loaning from us, so there might be a mutual benefit possibility going to happen.

Presumably the pitch will be a fairly significant net loss finically, given that it will cost however much to replace with grass, and then won’t be able to be rented out during the week.

From a pure betting perspective, it makes the relegation market so interesting in league 2. None of the promoted side get relegated so its affects the market big time. Sutton & FGR were 8/1 to be relegated
All these people talking about us loaning them players. What makes you think they would want any of ours, given the season weve had and the fact they are only one division below us now?

They are a very well run club.
WTF
There are 5 or 6 clubs in League Two that have made the step up.

Would presume Bromley will be away from home for the first 2/3 games whilst the grass is laid and has time to bed in.
