Bromley are back in League Two action on Saturday afternoon when they entertain Tranmere Rovers at Hayes Lane, with the new East Stand partially open for the first time.
The Ravens have hit a sticky patch of form lately, going four league games without a win, including a 2-0 loss at Swindon Town last Saturday, which has seen them slip to fourteenth in the table with 14 points from 10 games played. Andy Woodman was openly critical of his side’s performance last weekend and hinted that changes could be made ahead of this match.
A young Bromley team did win 1-0 away at Walthamstow in the London Senior Cup on Tuesday night, Soul Kader with the goal from the penalty spot, with first team squad members Taylor Foran and Nathan Paul-Lavally also featuring.
Tranmere travel down from The Wirral sitting in eighteenth place with 10 points from 9 league matches, last Saturday Rovers drew 0-0 at home with Cambridge Utd, although Andy Crosby’s team haven’t won in the league since the end of August.
When the sides met at Hayes Lane last season Bromley lost 2-1, Louis Dennis on target for The Ravens with Omari Patrick and Harvey Saunders netting for Rovers, who did the double over The Ravens winning their home game 2-1.
The new East Stand will be open at 50% capacity housing season ticket holders and a limited amount of general sale tickets, making Hayes Lane a four sided ground again for the first time since 1st February.
With Bromley looking to get back to winning ways and Tranmere hoping to build on their point last time out, both sides will be looking to start October with a win and move back up to the top half of the table.
