BROMSGROVE is right behind its football team in its ‘biggest match in history’ as the Rouslers face a tough FA Cup fourth qualifying round match.
Bromsgrove Sporting is set to face National League leaders Grimsby Town F.C on Saturday, October 16 on home turf – much to the delight of fans and the town.
The BBC has also confirmed it will be showing the big match on iPlayer and red button – showing the rest of the country what Bromsgrove has to offer.
Chairman of Bromsgrove Sporting, Mike Burke said the match is creating a buzz around the town.
“It is more than just one match – it is everything that surrounds the build-up,” said Mr Bruce.
“It will bring new people to Bromsgrove to find out what the club and town is all about.”
The club achieved a memorable run to the FA Vase semi-finals in 2017/18 but Saturday’s fixture is the club’s most important game yet, says Mike.
“We are predicting a sell-out – our stands can hold 3,500 people," added Mike.
“This will be something the town talks about for years to come – whether a win or lose”.
Reverend Stephen Levett attended his first home match on November 5, 2010 – only months after the Rouslers were founded.
“It was the first time I went to a non-league football match," said Rev Levett.
“The club were very keen to get people involved and they knew I was a reverend, so I became the club chaplain.
