    Well. not a lot apart from the fact that they are currently sitting pretty in second place of the conference and have a goalkeeper on their books who almost stopped us from getting promoted whilst playing for The Daggers in that last gasp drama.

    Could be a difficult tie although now that DC is well and truely departed I will go for a home win !

    They'll be a tough nut to crack. They have been top of the National League a couple of times. It's a part of London/Surrey where they can probably attract a good crop of decent players. Cheek and Fairchild have scored 13 league goals between them so far. I don' t recognise any former league players, so they'll probably be a hungry lot.

    If we play as we did against Bolton we might as well just concede the match and save the trouble of going to the Mem and making them travel down to Bristol

    Twas a 'one off', something wasn't right behind the scenes before the Trotters spat, I expect us to come out all guns blazing against the mighty Bromley and besides, we could really do with the £36K prize money !!

    They're a lot better than Chesham.

    Dont worry about money. We got £300k coming our way from JCH's release clause when he moves to City in January ;)

    Hopefully it will be more like Totton than Chesham

    I didnt go today as I lost a paper, scissors, stones match with my kids. If I won, I be at the Mem. If they won, I had to take them to watch the Gas Girls. Well I am pleased they beat me because I would have been cheesed off being at the Mem today. We put out a strong team, a very strong team indeed. No excuses not to win this game. However, if you look at the stats, they had more shots on target. They had more shots off target. They had a lot more corners too. We literally has 2 shots on target and 1 corner against a team 2 leagues below us and we were the home team. Sorry but that is utter crap. I just watched the highlights on the BBC and the only attack it shows for us is the goal but with our stats, what else could they show! Pathetic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50290456

    I am pleased as punch to have watched a very good game in Lockleaze instead.

    Suppose looking at it in a positive, we didn't lose and we are in the 2nd round draw.

    FFS <doh> I just seen that we conceded that equaliser when Bromley were down to 10 men as they had an injured player who couldn't continue and had already used their 3 subs. Unbelievable.

    I watched the football on BBC with them going around the grounds for updates on the scoreline's. They went to the Mem so rarely I thought that the had been abandoned and when they did go it was to say Bromley had been the better team and we scored against the run of play and we wouldn't be looking forward to the replay at their ground after they had equalised, but we are in the hat for the next round and we can't play that badly again can we. With the Sunderland game cancelled because of Int'l call ups at least we could have a game to keep us match fit if the replay comes during the following week
