Bournemouth

Off topic...just out of interest Les... how many did we take to Southport ?? missed the figure...

Quoted from promotion plaice

Bournemouths ground only holds about 12,000 so hows that going to work in the premiership. I thought you had to have a minimum capacity of 20,000 or something to be allowed in.

There is no minimum capacity for The Premier League as long as the ground meets safety regulations, Bournemouth do have plans in place though to increase capacity from 12000 to 18000.

I think Loftus Road is the current Premier League ground with the smallest capacity of just under 18500.

When you consider that Bournemouth and Rotherham had 17 points each removed in that table, you have to say that going in to administration paid dividends - (there must be some creditors somewhere that weren't best pleased).

Grimsby, meanwhile continued to try and pay its bills and take the drop, it seems.

Well done Bournemouth - (with a slightly hollow tone)

  

Pleased for them.

Mind you, they've been rescued from the brink twice in the last 20 years. Once the year before we played them at Wembley and again in  2008.

Only 78 points needed for promotion from league two. Piece of p1ss when we get there.

This....., bill dodging b@st@rds as far as i am concerned.

I saw a report that Bournemouth only spent an average Championship budget this season.  They had money in hand from selling players, including Danny Ings to Burnley. Fair play to them.

Howe must be some manager:  he develops Danny Ings, buys him when AT Burnley, getting the credit for signing a top young striker, then returms to Bournemouth, uses the new funding, gets them promoted, then Bourrnemouth in line for sell-on money when Burnley sell Ings.

One sunday paper this week did give good coverage to the Bounrmeough v Town game which kept them in the League.  We started their success.

Like you say , creditors ,, how many small companies went under due to them over spending , ? They will now receive 70 million plus for being in the premiership , will they repay  any of their debt ?   Hollow tone ?  

What do they say, again? Football is all about momentum.

Bournemouth reacted incredibly well to a 17 point deduction and transfer embargo to earn their escape relegation and their momentum continued the next season and so on.

On the other hand, we managed to escape relegation being rubbish, but relying on huge points deductions to other clubs. Our downward momentum continued the following season (thanks to some appalling management) and we're only just about on an upward trajectory even now, years later.

I'm not envious of Bournemouth, just frustrated with our own failures since then.
