Ups and Downs

[clanford]

Well done Boston. Great achievement. And back to mundane League one, two tasty fixtures confirmed in Brum and Huddershite. Cups aside, apparently it will be our first league meeting since 1955. Imagine St. Andrews will be a hugely popular destination for an Impvasion.

I don't think the national league would be very happy

Forgive and forget, no point in bearing a grudge, life's too short.

Surely their award winning senior BBC Sports Reporter and demi-god Michael Hortin got this gig rather than Mr Makeweight?

Hortinballs was supposed to do the job but mispronounced the detsination and the taxi driver took him to Bolton, so I was told

Sounds like a double cock-up since the match was at Brackley.

The funny thing is, Birmingham for a second city club, seem to have been pretty shite for the last 67 years.

And we haven't beaten them since 1911, although we did our best in the 1969 cup tie when - as Ron Gray put it - "our boys certainly scared the pants off them."

Hortin went to Bracknell.

Hortin went to Bracknell.

Only about 60 miles via the M40 and closer that his player identification skills. In the words of Lady Bracknell "A handbag!!?

Bury lost their play off final on penalties

We played there against Coventry a few years ago when they were ground hopping. Not that many Imps there that day, St Andrews is in an area similar to down town Beirut.

Went there in 2004, when we played them in the league Cup.

He was indeed, tried it on with the Imps players and probably wished he hadn't, twat

Not many from Coventry either (to be fair they were all in the stand on the right).

Bromley and Solihull playing in front of 24,000 at Wembley, currently 2 all

That's not a bad attendance. Really highlights how small-time the Salford vs Fylde play-off final was in 2019 when there were only 8,000 fans there. The 2021 final with covid restrictions had almost as many!

 

[Red Wimp]

Bromley win on penalties, Grant Smith saved two penalties!

 

[sedgleyimp]

Does feel a bit of a like for like swap of Sutton for Bromley. Well done to them though

Birmingham City v Lincoln City, 27 November 1990​

Score	2-0 to Birmingham City 1990
Competition	Leyland Daf Cup Preliminary round - Southern Section - Group 1
Attendance	2,922

I am sure a certain Trevor Mathieson was playing for them.

 

[Davidimp]

Bromley are fairly well supported getting 3500, Solihull less than 1500.
Will they last longer than Sutton?
