Conference National League Play-Off Final

[bicesterox]

Andy Woodman v Andy Whing
Bromley v Solihull Moors

My money on Moors to win this one, and probably a Wembley double in next week's Rropht final v Gateshead

Don't really care who gets to the efl today but obviously more OUFC connections are Moors owned by Darrel Eales, and ex youth teamer Ja k Stevens there as well

And they play in Yellow and blue

Andy Whing has had some start to his managerial career

Solihull Moors averaged only 1445 home attendances for this season. Will they be the smallest club ever to grace the football league?

No: Swindon Town

No: Swindon Town

I forgot them 6 fingered inbreds would have to play the winner of this final in two league games next season. Proper tinpot.

Come on Solihull moors!

2-2 into extra time...

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Goes to penalty’s.

 

[Essexyellows]

Bromley win it on pens.

 

[billyturleyscurlywurly]

We might be going to Elland Road next season whilst Swindon can head to Bromley.

What was the crowd? Can’t imagine either of these two taking many.

23,000 was mentioned on sky sports

16k Bromley. 4k Solihull.

Then an extra 3k.

 

[holdsteady]

16k Bromley. 4k Solihull.

Then an extra 3k.

16k from Bromley is not bad, if they can take that to Wembley (admittedly not far) then they are a bigger club that Forest Green who took about 3/4 thousand when they were in the final.

They are bigger than Salford too who only took 3-4k when they went to Wembley.

[Belgium Yellow]

Bromley population listed as 88,000.
Bromley borough actually has three teams - Bromley FC, Cray Wanderers and Holmesdale.

 

[Northstandboy]

Well done Woody!

 

[chromeyellow]

Yes- recommend reading Woody and Nord for an insight into the life of the young professional footballer

Bromleys core support is small, but swelled by a mixture of Charlton, Palace and Millwall supporters for big games.

They've been slowly improving their stadium and have a decent academy for the level.

27000 announced at end of game, mostly Bromley, probably the same sort of percentage as us and York in 2010

Just over 23k was the official attendance.

Around 16k Bromley, 4k Solihull and 3k members tickets.

Don't believe that we've ever played Bromley or Solihull in a competitive fixture, have we? Kind of an indication of where both clubs have come from, even in the past fifteen years.

Still, good luck to Woody. Always liked him as a character, even if I've never seen an Oxford keeper who was quite so terrified of coming off his line!

 

[Bath Yellow]

Believe we played Solihull in a preseason friendly, i may be wrong. Was it after Eales took over there ?.

2019 pre season friendly drew 1-1.

Yes I went to that. It was after Eales went there.
They hadn't quite completed a new stand on the side.

There was also an earlier friendly at Solihull Moors in July 2016, which I went to with our younger son. Marcus Bignot was Moors’ manager at the time. That also ended 1-1.

I bought a copy of that when it came out about 20 years ago and enjoyed it too.
I’d also recommend the three books about Bromley FC by long-suffering fan Dave Roberts, now sadly deceased: The Bromley Boys (the film based on it wasn’t that great, unfortunately), Home And Away, and The Long, Long Road To Wembley.

There was also a friendly there whilst they were still Moor Green and played behind some houses in Hall Green in Birmingham during Ian Atkins tenure - I remember going with my lad and having a chat with IA and a few of the players
They have come on a long way from there despite the disappointment yesterday

Saw Oxford Ladies v Birmingham ladies at their place a few years ago too

 

[Marked Ox]

Absolutely quality control and finish by the Worthing striker for their equaliser Vs Braintree in the NL South final.

It is currently on TNT.
