Cray Wanderers in the Trophy

[Nos]

Beat Folkestone 3-1 AET tonight. Second oldest football club in the world apparently(founded in 1860) according to their website. Would have preferred a day out in Folkestone to Bromley, though.

ur not far wrong there Nossa

 

 

bromley...(does anyhting happen there)

[Rob_the_Saint]

Bromley - is that the ground with the 'tombstones' at one end? The wooden benches had disappeared but the concrete supports still remained.

 

Remember the first game of one season - went there and won 5-0.

[Laz]

That's the place.

 

Wasn't the 5-0 there against Dulwich Hamlet?

[JKiF]

abou half hour walk from the station?

 

..very few pubs in the vicinity?

[Woody]

It's just over ½ mile from Bromley South. Just how many pubs are you intending stopping at on the way, JKIF ? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[JKiF]

Laz, Hamlet it was, played on a Sunday, August 1992.

 

Awful place to get to by car.

[Laz]

I won't be driving, Robster.

 

As I recall, we used to visit the Firkin near Dulwich Hamlet's ground for a few, then head off down to Bromley and finish off a couple in their bar.

[ASF]

It's quite easy (M25 snarl ups & accidents excepted)to get to Bromley:

 

Junction 4 of the M25 then about 7 miles on the A21 before you turn left at the B265 (Hayes Lane) traffic lights and the ground is on the left.

[Woody]

In theory you are spot on, ASF. In practice, I'm not so sure. Every time I've been down to Hayes Lane by car, it's been a pig of journey and Dulwich is no different. Tried it various ways but always seems to be the same. Must be something about me and south of the river.

 

I'll take the train, thanks.

[ASF]

In theory and in practice - my in-laws used to live a stones throw from Bromley so I have made the journey loads of times. Enjoy the train ride.

[JKiF]

will there be a coach tho' ?

[Laz]

Only for the scarfers!

[JKiF]

....(puts one of those winks eye things)

 

 

 

 

eurostar goes past/stops there ?

[Laz]
