The Retro File: Bromley FC 04/05 – The Raven Rising

The 2004/2005 season was perhaps the most pivotal moment in the history of Bromley Football Club. In retrospect, it marked the start of the Ravens’ steady climb up the pyramid, which culminated in last season’s mind-bending promotion to the Football League. Would that accomplishment have happened without the events of 04/05? It’s easy to imagine that it wouldn’t have.

Midway through that campaign, there seemed to be no hope of the success that would follow. In fact, if you had told a Bromley fan how the club’s season would end, they would’ve laughed you out of Hayes Lane. But a managerial change, some inspired signings, and a superb run of results put the Ravens on a path to destiny.
