Still there, next to The Bricklayers.se9addick said:Re pubs near Hayes Lane, I went to a little micro pub called the Bitter End last time I went to a Bromley match. It was really good and I’m sure it was only 10/15 mins walk.2 -
That's a really interesting comment. I don't have much knowledge about these tiers of football, so I imagined the move from semi to professional football, the tearing up of the pitch etc made it a big jump ( quality of players and financials risks).DamoNorthStand said:National League to League two is probably the smallest jump in terms of quality needed to adjust. Every chance they will be just fine.
Why do you say it's small?0 -

nearly all clubs are, and there are no FFP rules in the National League, so you can spend aggressively and come into the EFL with a decent squadjacob_CAFC said:

I believe that you can play a Champions league game on artificial pitch, but not League 2ElfsborgAddick said:
Many countries use a 3g, Bromley played Blackpool on it in the FA Cup this season.Rothko said:The pitch thing, I do have a problem with, 3G pitches should be a thing in the bottom 2 leagues, no real reason not to, and the Championship clubs who keep blocking the move, need to get over themselves.1 -
Few of the Moscow clubs had plastic pitches when they played in the Champions League.
But when the final was in Moscow they tore it up and laid a grass pitch.0 -
If you look back over the last 20 years or so you’ll find plenty of examples of clubs getting consecutive promotions from the 5th to 3rd tier, and others doing it over a few seasons without being in danger of relegation back to non-league.KingKinsella said:

Think a fair few of the Nordic clubs play on plastic pitches too like Bodo/Glimt but they'd never have a game on if they didn'tiaitch said:Few of the Moscow clubs had plastic pitches when they played in the Champions League.

So if it all so close between these two leagues, why not 3 up, 3 down?1

Agree with this.R0TW said:So if it all so close between these two leagues, why not 3 up, 3 down?
Also the four down from L1 is a hangover to the days of Third Division North and South. Three seems appropriate for all of the leagues.
There wasn't automatic promotion until the 1980's when it was only one club.1 -
I saw a clip of Leverkusen earlier today, their pitch is like a bowling green if they do not have 3g.follett said:

The league clubs have a louder voice than the non-league clubs.2 -
Last time I went to Bromley’s ground, Mikel Alonso was playing for us, I even took a picture on my phone as proof that he actually played for us,but it didn’t come out, just saying….0

if any ones in the area tomorrow. 0 -
A 10 minute open top bus parade ? Are they palace in disguise ?

Interesting to see that they have managed to remove the 3G pitch in such a way that it will be relaid near the existing pitch for future community use.1

Wonder if Adigun, Williams or any of our other young released will end up there. Millwall also released a bunch of kids too1

Fans of league clubs often support another local non-league club, but what happens if the this ’2nd team’ rise to a level to be potential rivals to the ’higher team?'
Looking at recent history of teams promoted from the fifth division, there’s a fair chance that Bromley will be playing us in the 3rd soon enough. There’s also a chance that we get stuck where we are now for another 15-odd years.
What does it take for them to become our rivals rather than just some friendly local team?
Isn’t it possible that kids growing up now prefer the same level of football at Bromley rather than Charlton?
How do Blackpool fans feel about Fleetwood for example?
It’s worth posing the question especially if they do well and get further investment.

The ‘old’ Wimbledon came up from the Southern League, won the FA Cup, played in the top flight when we were languishing in lower divisions. I never saw them as a rival even when we played them when both teams were in the same division. I still don’t with the ‘new’ version.jimmymelrose said:Fans of league clubs often support another local non-league club, but what happens if the this ’2nd team’ rise to a level to be potential rivals to the ’higher team?'

1. Wimbledon is in another part of London altogether
2. They got promoted with us in 1986 and won the FA Cup when we were still in the same division.
3. Their period of success coincided with our long period of growth including three promotions to the top division, and getting back to Valley. Compare that to now: we are and have been shit for ages, and we’ve lost our ground again (tenants of a ground that could easily be rented to another club with no say in the matter for us).1 -
3-0 win at Gillingham tonight, in a very crowded upper mid table in L2, unbeaten in 12 and just 3 points off the playoffs.5

I've no strong opinions about them either way. Amusing that Gillingham are behind them in the table though.MrOneLung said:
