Thing is let the good times.
I can get off the train at bromley south walk two minutes to a pub and then 15 minutes to bromley fc.

Next to the South spoons, I often spent a few quid in there.R0TW said:

Spoons opposite Bromley South train station.Off_it said:Bromley has got to rank up there as one of the "driest" in terms of any pubs near the ground.
How do they cope now when 300+ thirsty northern biffers turn up wanting a pint?
15 minutes walk max.0 -

The Angerstein Hotel is a minimum 15 minute walk and is awful.
I'm assuming the Anchor & Hope lets away fans in, even worse than the Angerstein.1 -
I think The Valley has become a much less attractive fixture for away fans since the demise of the Antigallican. I think it’s a real shame2

Turn right up Hayes Lane then The Bricklayers and then the craft beer place immediately next.clb74 said:Thing is let the good times.

From here a brisk 10 minutes walk to South Station, easy.0 -
Turn left at top of Hayes Lane if you've left the ground for The Bricklayers, Weatherspoons & Bromley South Station.1

£15 for 3 pints, then do the reverse journey.Covered End said:Turn left at top of Hayes Lane if you've left the ground for The Bricklayers, Weatherspoons & Bromley South Station.
The Crown is half way from the station and The Bricklayers.0 -

When was the last time you went to the Anchor & Hope? I really like it but each to their own. It does let away fans in though, yes. Tend to get a good mixPopIcon said:

The Anchor in Hope was always a well looked after pub….OK, it’s some years since I was last there but I am surprised you are giving it such a poor rating. 🙁1

I go to the anchor and hope when there are no trains to Greenwich. Its location is good, enjoyable if the weather is nice! It does what it says on the tin, it gets beers in me before 90 minutes of Valley pain. Its not the best pub in the world but its also not the barge pole!!1
-
The Anchor & Hope is fantastic pub. Whenever I have mates down for a visiting side that's always the place we go.2

Last time i was there it was a Greene King pub, they didn't have a great selection of beers. It was Fosters, Moretti etc and the cask beer tasted bad.follett said:

Sutton hung on for a few seasons probably due to the euphoria of actually getting to the EFL .. no real reason why Bromley can't do the same especially if there is a bit of investment in players even after the necessary cost of a new playing surface1

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.2

Bromley get a lot of stick for their pitch but it's been such an asset for them. Real shame they're going to have to dig it up. Was quite an investment and can sustain a lot of use in all weathers from women's youth and community teams without impacting the first team.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.0 -

Good luck to them. We will wave to them as we go in the opposite direction...0

Relaying it next door apparently. Should still generate revenue.follett said:

Finished 8th in 21/22, 14th in 22/23 and 23rd in 23/24.
In general teams coming up from the National league do ok in the first season but then they either get worse or improve and challenge for promotion in subsequent seasons.
Sutton, unfortunately for them, got worse.0 -
Town 10 minutes walk from ground, also a boozer at the bottom of the hill behind the home end.Todds_right_hook said:Barnsley0 -
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.0 -

Finnish Veikkusliiga use 3g pitches, almost all clubs in Finland do.ElfsborgAddick said:

Disagree. Football is a game played on grass. Artificial pitches have improved significantly over the years, but they're still not the same as playing on a grass pitch.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.
With the advances in grass pitch maintenance, etc, and the quality of grass pitches generally now (where people bemoan the fact there may be a small patch not completely covered in grass) I would say the case for artificial pitches at a professional level has diminished, rather than increased.
Non-league, absolutely.3 -
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
