Cherries could be top club on south coast

[Gwylan]

I would love to see us establish ourselves as the top South Coast club...Which should not be that difficult considering there are only 4 of us!!!

Well, I can think of six off the top of my head: Bournemouth, Brighton, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Southampton and Torquay. Exeter's not far off the coast either. We're not too off the top of them though - but it might be hard to compete with Southampton's money

This is where I'm so glad we have a chairman like TB, who doesn't shoot his mouth off or start making frankly RIDICULOUS claims about who we're going to be overtaking soon.

Eddie Mitchell just comes across as a delusional mug, and I'd be embarrassed by his comments.

I believe Eddie Mitchell is a property developer, which might explain away him making ridiculous and delusional comments

He sounds a bit like that clown at Darlington, maybe he wants to build them a 25,000 seater stadium as well.

I would stick Plymouth, Torquay & Exeter down with the West Country/South-West...When people talk of South Coast clubs they usually are referring to the usual 4!!

Albion & England forever.

Yes, that would explain it.

I think its worth pointing out that, to the best of my knowledge, NO team that has a fruit-based nickname has EVER had any degree of sustained success in the game.

 

[The Large One]

Yes, that would explain it.

Except for waaaay back in 1953, when the TANGERINES of Blackpool won the FA Cup.

can we start a new thread on this topic please ... i don't have much on at work today

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Yes - and what about bird-based nicknames ?

Palace/Norwich came 3rd in the early 90s?

We have come from death’s door to the heart beating very fast.

Always a sign of good health that.

 

[Curious Orange]

I conclude, Watson, that we are not a south coast club.

... and apparently neither are Torquay or Plymouth. The South Coast must be very short if it only stretches from the Solent to Bournemouth!!

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Are Bournemouth really going to finish above us, Southampton and Plymouth?

They will be lucky to finish above Exeter!

Quick edit, maybe even six, I forgot Torquay

Agree with Thimble Keegan, don't consider West Country as South Coast in spite of what geography may suggest.

 

[Mackenzie]

We've always had a decent rivalry with Bournemouth (well I say decent, they hate us and we're a bit 'meh' towards them) so bring it on I say.

It's the Echo.
Like the Arsegas only worse, they are not allowed to print the word Brighton in that paper so they ignore anything that happens to the east of Havant.
They appear to have their heads so far up the Solent that nothing happens or is worth mentioning outside of the BBC Radio Solent broadcasting range.
