Bromley away?

Anyone else gutted it's on a Tuesday nite? GGGRRR!!!

Not an easy ground to get to. Bromley have put a lot of work into getting promoted but Hayes Lane remains a non league ground.

Probably good for it to be a Tuesday fixture. People will want to tick the ground off and probably only just over a thousand tickets available. I imagine if it was a Saturday fixture we could sell our allocation three times over

Wasn’t it 2 seasons ago we had Barrow away and at home midweek, well same again, absolutely ridiculous decision

Just a reminder to all about the ULEZ charge. Not sure it applies here but thought it worth mentioning on this thread.

Ignore it.

is Bromley not in the zone, or just don't pay the charge?

[DonnyBiz]

Definitely in the zone. I guess paying it is a personal choice?

If there is a policy, it seems based on the difficulty of getting to a fixture by public transport. Bromley isn’t straightforward, so perhaps they assume the majority of potential away supporters won’t want to take the journey on. Walsall and Barrow are others, yet Swindon and Cheltenham which are further away, but on main train lines are on Saturdays. Last year Sutton and Wimbledon were Saturdays and not too far out of London. Crawley is much further or via the M25. Colchester is only possible via London if using public transport.

However, do not most fans use coaches or cars nowadays? There was of course a time when a fair proportion of fans would get “Priv” tickets (= privilege rate travel) because they worked at the Plant or on the  railway itself. Maybe privilege travel is a thing of the past now that we have so many railway franchises.

Perhaps the Shadow Board is influencing policy, or if not, could be. I wonder what their take is?

Not sure what you expect the shadow board to do on that one.
