Rotherham United travel to Greater London on Saturday for their FA Cup game against Bromley.

The only other time the pair have met was in this same competition in November 2021 at the New York Stadium. The visitors held on until the forty-third minute when Ben Wiles scored for the Millers with Freddie Ladapo adding another before half-time. An x-rated lunge on Chieo Ogbene brought a red card for Haji Mnoga six minutes into the second half before a Will Grigg goal with ten minutes to go saw the hosts win the game three-nil.

Potted History of Bromley

Founded in 1892 Bromley were founder members of Southern League two years later and two years after that the London League. They lifted the FA Amateur Cup three times – 1911, 1938, and 1949 – the last one being at Wembley. The latter part of the last century saw them move up and down the divisions of the Isthmian League and in the league restructuring in 2004 they slipped to the eighth tier. The end of the 2006/7 season saw them move up to the Conference South after beating Billericay Town in a play-off game and in 2015 they finally won the title to win move up to the National League.

Bromley made it to the dizzy heights of the football league in 2024 by beating Solihull Moors in a dramatic penalty shoot-out at Wembley to secure historic promotion to League Two. The last game of last season saw them beat Walsall to get promoted to League One as champions.
