I bet Bournemouth fans are bricking it in case they go up and have to face Man Utd and Chelsea.

In reality Bournemouth fans probably are a tad worried about going up. Yes they'll enjoy every minute but long term it could be detrimental to the club.

They've already nearly been wound up and faced sanctions for it. Not to mention the businesses they owed money too that never got anything even when they became financially safe, going up could start the whole thing all over again.

Is it worth the risk? Probably but there still has to be some understandable caution...

I'll discuss it further after the middle of May, when my thought process will be loads clearer, I'll have finished my holiday and will have celebrated or suffered, and my finger nails will have recovered and regrown !!

I pray that it's automatic, as I'm abroad for the play off period and it could ruin the holiday for my other half if I'm grumpy !!

Of Bournemouth was sensible and kept the same team if they got promoted they'd have no problems , give that team a healthy pay rise , say 50% . Then save the rest which would keep set a club like them up for life. The problems come when promoted teams start to spend silly money on average players and still get relegated

"Small" clubs that went up to the Prem... Barnsley  and  Bradford , and Leeds...  not exactly done them much good,
unless we had a 50,000 stadium it wouldnt be worth it for Town... we'll still be a a 3 sided BP in twenty years....

I think that promotion brings new benefits and risks.  Change can be good or bad.  It is better to be there than not at all.  

A real problem is complacency and managing heightened expectations.  I remember Charlton being mid-table in the Premiership for a few seasons.  Quite a few of their fans were getting fed-up.  When they slipped down the leagues, they soon realised what they taken for granted and sorely missed.

Similar to Town when we were in the Championship and playing Chelsea, Man City and Newcastle. Now we play teams that we have not heard of before and do not know where they are in the country.

Any chance of promotion should be taken - whatever the perceived risks of this.
