THE TOON V BROMLEEE*** FA CUP 3rd ROOND THIS AFTERNOOON!

 Posted ‘high noon πŸ”” bells’ Sunday12th January 2025



The forst ever meetin’ between The Toon and Bromley takes place this afternooon and it’s Leegue 2 Bromley’s biggest game in their entire 133 year history, az they have never played a top fight team before  in a competitive game—AND it’s their forst ever time in the 3rd roond of the FA Cup!

Their average gate iz 3,000 and they will bring at least that many to SJP this afternooon from ‘sarf Landan’, where a selloot 52,000 plus crowd will watch on!

Thats in total contrast to FA Cup games played from Thorzday onwards, where Sheff U for example, got a pathetic 6,000 ‘crowd’ v Cardiff, with stands shut doon, includin' their 'Kop'? (And just 150 from Cardiff!)

There are connections between NUFC and Bromley, az ex Toon goalkeepin' coach Andy Woodman, just happens to be their manager!

Amazingly Bromley will be the NINTH different London club we have faced so far this season! (And the 3rd in a row in 8 days!--Sporz, The Arse and 'them'!)

'Steady Eddie' confirms that 'Alexander the Great' (Isak) will be rested for the game, az will Martin Dubravka in goal, az we try and persuade him to stay for the rest of the season, az he haz done a great job coverin' for injured Nick 'The Pope'!  Dubravka haz conceded just 2 goals in the last 7 games---which of course we have won!

'Fab' Schar and Bruno will be available to play after missin The Arse game through suspension!---Emil Krafth iz aalso expected to take part at some point!

The draw for the 4th roond takes place aroond aboot '5:15 bells'πŸ””? on Sunday (BBC 1)----Lets hope we are in it!?---We take nothin' for granted! (Remember the 1-0 defeat by Leegue 2 Cambridge 3 years ago at SJP?)
