Bournmouth jesus there are some big teams in this league who you sort of exept the teams like barnsley thing from there fans, but Bournmouth a hobby club bankrolled by a Swiss billionaire with a stadium with a massive capacity of 11k there like donny rovers of the South with a sugar daddy backing them.
Teams like barnsley. Longest championship club. Premier league before Fa cup winners Fa cup semi finals Fa cup cup quarto finals List goes on... Amazing how people look down on us. Bigger than most of them without the franchise side effects. When I first attended a barnsley game. I wouldnt know who Bournemouth, brentford are
Didn’t go in 1979 to visit 4th division Bournemouth. Was there in 2004 and made the mistake of parking in the car park. It was worse than getting out of the main oakwell car park is now. Still never really mind when we win
Wow. 5 seasons ever in the 2nd tier?? They're even smaller than I thought! Still, not convinced the original post's quote was that demeaning. But when you think about it, we're arguably histotically on a par if not 'bigger' than Watford, Brentford, Swansea, Reading and Bournemouth. So why shouldn't we/can't we do it?!!
This was just after redevelopment when they rotated the pitch through 90 degrees. Unlike Oxford it had a wire fence rather than a garden fence. The open end was to the left of the away supporters stand. Again like Oxford, they didn't need the 4th side at the time.
Maybe we could have another collection on here and get a "Teams Like Barnsley" flag made? I'd be happy to help sort it out and contribute.
Been to their ground many times when visiting family down there. The ground is actually in Kings Park in a suburb of Bournemouth re- Boscombe. Before they went into the Premiership, it always struck me as being a Club that struggled financially, in fact, at one point they were acquired by a group of fans. With the money made during their time in the top division, surely they must have the assets to guarantee their survival for many seasons to come.?
tell him he's got some chocolate or summat at the side of his mouth. oh, yeah and he's ******* boring
