It’s no secret, Bromley Football Club love a secret. Whether it’s injuries and suspensions, the sudden disappearance of Chef Ali, or how long a whacking-great flag is going to be covering a fifth of the seats in the Glyn Beverly Stand, certain information is for a privileged few. But is that a bad thing?

If you’re willing to dig a little and ask the right people, you could find answers to all of the questions above. But the average fan doesn’t have the time or the contacts. Then again, would it change much if you did know the answers? You’d still go to the game, right? So, what’s the problem?

A football club is in a two-way relationship with its fans. The club relies almost entirely on their support to function and grow. While, in return for their support, fans hope to be entertained and to feel like they’re a valued part of the relationship.
