It is almost exactly a decade since Leicester City were crowned Premier League champions, an achievement so unlikely that it felt almost surreal to watch Wes Morgan lift the trophy. For the Leicester fans, there was a sense of overwhelming jubilation: they had witnessed something that seemed impossible, an incomparable footballing zenith. The good times did not end there, either: there was a run to the quarter-finals of the Champions League the following season, and a narrow defeat to Atletico Madrid. There was FA Cup glory in 2021 and a Conference League semi-final against Roma in 2022. For a die-hard fan, Seat Unique is a shortcut to those sold-out, high-stakes Premier League matches that usually feel out of reach without years of loyalty points. By partnering directly with clubs like Manchester United, Spurs, and Everton, they provide 100% official, guaranteed entry without the red tape of memberships or ballots. It’s a secure way to bypass the resale lottery and walk straight into the ground with a prime view, making those "once-in-a-lifetime" derbies actually doable. Fast forward to 2026 and Leicester, after losing 1-0 to Portsmouth on Saturday, are on the brink of relegation to League One. The Foxes have only dropped to the third tier once before, in 2008/09, when they won the League One title to bounce straight back.

But this time feels different after all the success of the past decade. Leicester’s decline has been sudden and left fans wondering what will come next. In the immediate future, there will likely be a trip to Hayes Lane, Bromley’s 6, 100-capacity stadium, where third-tier football will be held for the first time in history.

Bromley v Leicester is about as incongruous as league fixtures come, but it is indicative of the different trajectories of both clubs. Most of Bromley’s history has been spent in non-league. When Leicester won the Premier League title, the Ravens finished 14th in the National League, their first season in the fifth tier after promotion from the Conference South. Now the two clubs are set to meet on an equal footing, not in the FA Cup or the Carabao Cup, but as league rivals.

A combination of financial mismanagement - leading to a points deduction earlier in the season - poor recruitment and a squad of players who seem completely disinterested has left Leicester in a situation that, a decade ago, would have seemed just as unlikely as their Premier League title. There could be similar standout fixtures elsewhere in the pyramid, too: if Tottenham Hotspur are relegated, they could play both Lincoln City - newly promoted from League One - and Wrexham, playing in the Championship after their rapid rise through the divisions. But there is no question that Bromley’s meeting with Leicester will, for several reasons, be one of the most remarkable fixtures in the EFL’s history.
