Scunthorpe United 1-1 Bromley

Two weeks ago, with Bromley due to play away at Scunthorpe, I wondered if the game would even play to completion. Home fans' hatred of Scunthorpe United’s owner, Pete Swann, had inspired a  pitch invasion protest in a recent game against Woking and the chances of a repeat performance seemed incredibly high.

That changed when Scunthorpe were saved from the brink last week. David Hilton completed a deal that included the football club, the stadium, and the land surrounding it. The positivity this brought was immediately evident with Scunthorpe’s 0-1 win at Halifax Town on Wednesday night.

In that regard, Bromley’s visit was always going to be more difficult than the average fan realised. We pitched up to play Scunthorpe at precisely the wrong time and it showed throughout the game.
