Three reasons why I now hope that Bromley go on to defeat Solihull in next Sunday's Play-Off Final:

(i) it would mean at least one less expedition down to the south east next season;

(ii) we can actually manage to win football matches aginst Solihull;

(iii) we won't have to play on Bromley's godawful artificial pitch again. (In fact, if they do achieve promotion and then have to dig up the wretched thing, I may even volunteer to take a spade down to Kent and help them out).

All very valid points.

Barnet didn't show up. Remember at our place when it was 3-0 and we were pounding them?

Getting rid of the majority of those 19 on contract will be an absolute nightmare given the wages they will be on. Norwood and Hogan in particular would be virtually impossible to clear out.

So, they will outnumber us somewhere between 6 to 1 and 7 to 1. Gonna have to be loud.

I thought it was 650+50. Apparently we'd sold nearly 400 an hour ago. Not looking great for those without tickets.

Under normal circumstances, Halifax would be the very last team I'd want to play but given they've played a game pretty much every other day now for a few weeks, we really should be hoping for them. Aldershot appear to have deteriorated since our last meeting and would also represent a decent match for us.

Gateshead and Southend would not be great fixtures for us, though our record against both in recent years has been 50/50.

Bring on whoever.

We could really do with Halifax getting a streaky late winner v Oldham tonight to knock Southend out of the process.

A draw will do, but I wouldn't mind an Aldershot win.
