Bromley unveiled a new temporary stand at Hayes Lane before their first home match of the new League One campaign.
The 178-seat structure has also been named in honour of a much-loved supporter who helped document the club's journey through the lower leagues.
Bromley reveal new stand at Hayes Lane
The new temporary stand has been named the Dave Roberts Stand after the Bromley supporter and Bromley Boys member who passed away in November 2021.
Roberts was the author of The Bromley Boys, 32 Programmes, Home and Away and The Long, Long Road to Wembley, documenting his experiences following the club during some of its most difficult years.
The uncovered stand is located between the John Fiorini Stand and the Dave Roberts Tea Hut and adds 178 seats to The CopperJax Community Stadium.
It was used for the first time during the Ravens' 1-1 draw to Cambridge United at the weekend.
For future fixtures, tickets for the Dave Roberts Stand will be sold separately, while Zone 2 supporters will also be able to buy canned drinks from the Dave Roberts Tea Hut.
FGG says: Bromley make a fitting tribute with new Hayes Lane stand
Adding 178 seats is another useful boost for Bromley as they prepare for life in League One and look to accommodate growing interest in the club.
Naming the stand after Dave Roberts makes the development even more meaningful, particularly given his work documenting Bromley's rise through the divisions.
It is a fitting way to remember a supporter who remained with the club through its darkest days and helped preserve its story for future generations.
