Bromley FC v. Oldham Athletic

Since Latics were promoted back into the English Football League 2 in the summer, there are fewer opportunities to see them play live.

In the National League there were far more teams clustered around London that meant it was easier to get to their stadiums. Either by car, or more often by motorcycle.

So when the fixtures came out, I tagged Bromley as a possible. It's postal area is Kent, although it's a London Borough. January 4th is far too early in the year to take the bike, and there is little or no parking. 

The last time we played there I went on the bike. Bluffed my way into their tiny car park. "The lady in the office said you could squeeze me in" has worked quite successfully.

But this time I am looking at the train. Return from Ashford is £21.50. I'll need to drive up there and park, but oddly it's a Sunday 3pm kick off. 

According to their website, it's around 20 minutes to walk from Bromley South station.

I have already ordered my ticket. Instead of paper an e-ticket would make more sense. Now I have to wait for the post to deliver a paper ticket.

At least with an e-ticket you have the option to have it on your phone or cover your arse and print it and the QR code.

Fingers crossed for a result in our favour.
