Clubs just need wealthy owners and anything is possible. Look at citeh . It’s why the game is in the state it is. I like where we are now as it’s proper football with proper fans who want to be there cos they support their club no matter what. not like the Prem where the grounds are all full of kitchen sinks with their phones out. Not for me that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me that. Like I said it's not based on snobbery at all, fair play to them but even Bournemouth know that stadium is totally unsuitable for top level football, probably even Championship now it's just impossible for them to move by the sound of it. Expecting some of the biggest club followings in Europe to squeeze into that corner is mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 My Uncle is a city fan but when he moved down there in the 80s started going to Bournemouth for his footy fix. Never had problems getting tickets til the prem years. Apparently there is a worry that if they drop down the crowds won't be there to warrant a bigger ground.

Bournemouth had the chance to make it bigger, they moved it round 180 degrees and never improved the capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didnt they take the chance to expand, was it long before they ploughed up the divisions? Carlisle did similar with moving their pitch around didnt they, but only got half way through building the stands to go with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjhb Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) They wanted to build a new stadium recently, not sure if they've shelved plans In answer to Marc's question I believe that was 15-20 years ago, long before their rise Edited July 17, 2020 by jmjhb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Steejay Posted July 17, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2020 Bournemouth will never have the ability to sustain a Premier league football team without external investment. Minimal fan base, Lytham down south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh white Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 AFC Bournemouth thought at the time that they would be a run of the mill club hovering between Level 4 or Level 2, so I get the point of not building a massive fuck off stadium holding 35.000 when half the folk in town never knew they had a football team 10 years ago.

mickbrown Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Leeds, 16 years out of the top league. Just done a quick scan and I think the longest we’ve ever gone is 15 years in our entire history (1980-95) It’s official, we are fucking massive.
