Crowd-sourced Referee Call: Struggling EFL Club Makes another Plea for Expert Referee Assistance from Spectators
Bromley FC Overcomes Challenges to Secure First Win of the Season
In an unexpected turn of events, League Two side Bromley FC had to overcome some unusual obstacles during their recent match against Barnet. With just over an hour on the clock, the team found themselves in need of a replacement referee, a situation that mirrored their opener away at Shrewsbury.
The initial incident occurred when the match official, Lee Swabey, was unable to continue. Bromley swiftly sent out a message on social media, urging someone to step in and run the line for the rest of the match. Chris Myatt eventually replaced Swabey, ensuring the game could continue.
Despite the disruption, Bromley managed to maintain their focus and secure a well-deserved victory. Michael Cheek scored the opening goal in the 36th minute, and Nicke Kabamba doubled their lead deep into stoppage time.
The League Two clash between Bromley and Barnet was halted for four minutes due to the incident. However, unlike last week's match at Shrewsbury, Bromley went one better this time and secured a win, moving up to seventh place in the table.
It is worth noting that, according to current data, there is no confirmed history of qualified spectators being asked to officiate in Bromley's League Two matches due to a shortage of referees.
Elsewhere, the EFL giants are targeting two Manchester United starlets now that their transfer embargo has been lifted.
Bromley's next match is a home clash against second-placed Fleetwood, promising to be a challenging encounter. The team will undoubtedly look to build on their first win of the season and continue their upward trajectory in the league.
The football match between Bromley and Barnet, despite the unexpected halt due to a replacement referee being needed, culminated in a win for Bromley, marking their first victory of the League Two season. In other sports news, EFL giants are currently pursuing two Manchester United rising stars following the lifting of their transfer ban.
