Three weeks left in the regular season and four teams can win the title.
Probably an indication of how average this league is this season, but this is the year to win it.
If we can get anything like a fit team ready for Saturday our fate is in our own hands, but any slip ups will see us face the play offs.
It may all be a lot clearer by 5pm Saturday.

Having recently been at Bath, Borehamwood and Maidenhead yesterday, and experienced the highs and lows, something is telling me this will go to the last day! Just hope we keep it in our hands all the way as I fear if we end up in the play-offs our form can't / won't be good

It's more a case “here we go again”. Thought we looked more dangerous up front with Moses pushed up as a striker.it seemed like we had a extra bromley shirt in the danger area when going forward. Last 25 mins we lost our last third and let maidenhead push on. Just lack that ruthless streak that champions have. 89th 93rd 94th minute goals against us recently have and could cost us dear. I've said all along our route out is to win the division. Hence back to back wins at our gaff is a must.

If ever the clubs wants to compete in the Conf National (or its new name) we need the next three games to be faultless and 9 points (maybe 7)
Next year Ebbsfleet will be red hot favourites, add in possible Dartford, Welling, Maidstone, Margate and its getting tougher and tougher to escape.
Its no co-incidence that our current self implosion appears to be the same time as the "suit" has left the building and left us in the s**t.
I just hope the squad of players give everything they can for the cause and the next 270mins of football works out in our favour. 5pm Saturday will give us a further insight but with the growing injury list my recent confidence of us being crowned champions is beginning to dwindle.
Time to get behind the team more than ever. Look what happened 2nd half against Boreham Wood when the sound levels picked up!

After the great comeback Saturday, I believe 4 points over the bank holiday is not to be sniffed at especially as we were understrength and 2-0 down.
Also with Ebbsfleet in with an outside all be it small chance of the play off's they need the win and I can see them doing us a favour.
Can't help but feel 4 points may be enough for the league title especially as Basingstoke still play Havant who will want to carry form into the play offs.
Come on we can do this!!

Final post from me on predictions etc as I'm beyond believing anything expected happens in this league, BUT based on games left here's my final view -
Havant - Basingstoke 1 pt, Whithawk 3 pts - Total 73
Borehamwood - Ebbsfleet 1 pt, Chelmsford 3 pts - Total 75
Basingstoke - Sutton 3 pts, Havant 1 pt, Weston 3 pts - Total 76
Bromley - Eastbourne 3pts, Weston 3pts, Gosport 1 pt - Total 78
2 home wins and I believe we can have a very enjoyable trip to Gosport, anything less and . . . . That's it, I'm done, what will be will be but I'm losing my voice at the next 3 games come what may.

The way I see it, if we win our 2 home games we will win the league. If we don't we won't. We can't go into either game thinking "a point will do" because it may well not be enough. Basingstoke and Boreham Wood are both quite capable of winning their remaining games, and could well do so. We need to win this league because we deserve to and not because other teams can't step up. We SHOULD be winning both games and we need to go into them with that mentality both on and off the pitch, backing the players all the way like the second half on Saturday.

Exactly ! If we dont win our next two home games chances are Basingstoke will take it and we'll only have ourselves to blame !
Its in our hands still ! Dont know how after loosing seven points to last minute goals in the last few games.
Its now too close to call and i need a drink !

Our recent games have shown its impossible to predict anything. Lost to Staines & then came back to beat Boreham wood shows anything is possible still, & who knows, Basinsgtoke & BW may still slip up

Slightly off-topic, and very pedantic, but I'm starting to fancy Hendon for the automatic place - and Maidstone for the play-offs. What a run-in they're having. Amusingly, I journeyed down to Hendon last Monday to watch them play Billericay Town I think it was. Like the novice groundhopper I am, I failed to check whether the match was on before I left. I probably don't need to tell you the punchline. To complete my humiliation, I was later informed by a friend that Hendon don't actually play in Hendon but in Harrow. So I was in the wrong place to watch a game that had been postponed. Hell, with compound errors like that I should see whether Fortress Wealth Investment Partnership are recruiting. |

Now that everything is finally sorted behind the scenes we can all focus on the football for a change (isn't it great BTW to have Bromley fans investing in the club who understand football and what the club is all about). Even if our nearest rivals were to win all their games, two wins and a draw will be enough to be crowned champions (barring Basingstoke winning one of their games about 8-0!). Immediately after the Maidenhead game that seemed a highly unlikely scenario but it's amazing what a few days can do to erase the negative mindset! I've even been thinking to myself 'It's still in our hands'!! Get a win tomorrow and if any other contenders slip up we can really start to believe. Brommmmmm!!!

Once more unto the breach my friends once more. For tomorrow our men take the field. Victory must be taken. It's been a long road this season and our reward is within our grasp . It's end game time where now words are cheap and the victory is paramount. Grab it by the scruff of the neck. Refuse to lose. History will say this side got us to the highest level the club has ever achieved. Let's rise our standard and face our opponents with little fear and desire the win that we require. And for all ye people of Bromley that don't join our brothers tomorrow can lie cursed in bed while holding there manhoods cheap that they were not by our side in our finest hour this day that shall forever be known as St Gareth day. FACTA NON VERBA.

It's both a tribute to the Milliganesque style of Mr Crouch, and a simple exercise in wordplay (east vs west, etc). He's also historically accurate, as the derivation of Gosport is God's Port. No need to be so black and white about it, zebra.  |

Only three ways I can explain this: 1) You've been got at by sinister forces, 2) You've undergone a full personality transplant, or: 3) The situation is turning us all bi-polar. Still, at least you spared us the hashtag, which I regard as the football cultist's equivalent of sending e-mails (or even letters, once) with 'Yours, in Christ' or some such bell-endery.
