With pre-season training beginning again this week, it’s time to reawaken the blog and catch up with life at Hayes Lane. After a few weeks of the close season Hayden Bird decided to resign as manager of the first team and it also seems that coach Barry Moore is no longer with the club either. After a couple of weeks delay it was announced that Mark Goldberg would be coming back as manager with Murray Jones and Neil Smith assisting him. Away from the playing side Ashley Reading has joined the club as Chairman to team up with owner Jerry Dolke in running the club and they are looking at long term investments to improve the club rather than blowing big money on players this season.
So the new era brings new goals for BFC, no more talk of play offs or the like, but instead it’s about staying up and doing well in the three cup competitions we enter. It’s nice to have a healthy dose of realism ahead of the new campaign, rather than the ridiculous hype without substance we especially had in the second half of 2010/11.
MG has said he will look at 30-40 players and try and get a strong squad of 16 or so with lads from the academy also making the step up to the first team squad.
Whether the quest for survival will ignite the interest of the fickle Bromley football public will remain to be seen, but with a few high profile friendlies set up hopefully we’ll get some punters in through the gates and make a good impression.
