BROMSGROVE Rovers WILL be playing Dr Martens football next season.

Any doubts that a May 31 deadline over conditions would not be met have been overcome and now it's full steam ahead for next season.

The club was granted an extension, as chairman Tom Herbert is out of the country, but now everything is in place for promotion.

Club secretary Phil Baker said: "One of the conditions had a May 31 deadline but we have an extension until the chairman gets back."

Joint managers Gary Hackett and Jon Ford have already made significant strides in assembling a squad to take on the likes of Redditch, Stourport and Evesham next season.

But Rovers are not just there to make the numbers up.

"I do not believe we will struggle. I believe we will be in the top half," Hackett said.

Rovers now wait on the Dr Martens' AGM in Torquay this Saturday where it is hoped the club will be placed in the Western division.
