I can't pinpoint the exact moment that I noticed it, but I do know that it started sometime after Bromley got to Wembley in 2018.

When Neil Smith’s side took the fans on a dream run to the FA Trophy final, expectations changed and emotions became highly charged.

The following season (2018/19), there was a palpable sense that some fans expected Bromley to mount a serious promotion charge. Maybe that was to be expected as Bromley had finished the previous two seasons 10th and 9th respectively.
