Agreed. Whilst no doubt the fans and players alike would have had a great day out. Imagine if the game was held at a neutral location with a smaller capacity. Wembley is always special, but I feel like a heightened atmosphere is what would really take the game/league to the next level.

Went to the Wembley game yesterday and agree with the post why twin towers? Firstly say that regarding game think Bromley just about edged it and certainly can't take away what credit the Moors deserve in getting to not only two Non League finals in less than a week but have been up on the summit nearly all season and amazingly with a first season to a Manager with virtually no experience of Step 1 in Andy Whing. The moving up to Wembley Way was something that was certainly a new experience to me, with modern day very PC, Woke and just about everything else involved. Must have been a thousand stewards and Police combined in rows of around 30 or so about every 50 yards and we had Police on push bikes in line too, didn't feel an helicopter overhead though, to a crowd of 24,000? Must say being in Club Wembley certainly found the staff inside very friendly and helpful and pluses tea/coffee and pies not much dearer than Dagenham! Forget booze at nearly everywhere £8 a pint plastic of course and head up North Jubilee line for pre ale good deals like Spoons KIngsbury. Suppose a tenner match ticket especially in Club Wembley and meeting a fair few daggers was an added tonic, well done to Bromley and Moors fans who were very well behaved but do think Wembley has lost its sparkle they're pricing out the real football fan!

And its Braintree

winning 3-4 AET

Another Essex derby to look forward to next season. And an easy 6 points

Maybe if you played the south, north and National League finals on the same day Wembley might make sense?

We will have to take care playing Braintree if they still have the prolific Shears playing still.

Fascinated to see if Blair makes the step up with them up top... Didn't do too much during the final until his goal but took it really well.
