A knee injury of the worst kind for Brody Cockerill
28 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Bromley lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Supporters organise against the Bromley board
A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Bromley
Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Matúš Kucman signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Matúš Kucman commits to Bromley for another 3 years.
