The Glory Game
Bournemouth have always disliked BHA - traditionally a one way thing.

'Obsession' probably isn't the right word. But, just speaking as a football fan, I think it would be a good thing if they were promoted. They've never been there before, and the thought of some of the bigger clubs having a tricky visit to the seaside is quite appealing.

Well.....as one of the Bournemouth fans who posts on here now and again - there was (see that Boxing day 72? thread) and will be, some sort of rivalry between us ongoing I would have thought. Both resorts on the south coast although not that near geographically etc etc.
Never really had any problems with Brighton fans at all - come across as knowledgeable and level headed, although I do get the feeling that SOMETIMES a few of you need to be reminded that you have been given £120? million by Mr Bloom...I suppose this only seems to come about when we get moaned at about FFP and all that. To be fair, although things aren't great football wise for BHA at the moment, both clubs are in very good health and I would say that your situation overall is better than ours.
We just got very lucky that Sandbanks is a lovely area and a rich Russian who likes footy got his house built by our chairman!! As it goes I agree that I think it will be the play offs for us (barring a major collapse) - I can see Derby and Boro going up automatically. Even a year getting spanked in the Prem is worth it financially, it can set a club up for years.

Well I don't, they've done really well to be honest. But there being history between us, I mostly want them to go up to bring me joy late Saturday afternoons when I hear they've been severely thrashed.

What gives you that idea? Most relegated clubs tend to suffer huge losses in their first 2-3 seasons back in the Championship, even when in receipt of parachute payments.

....they dislike Saints more but that has never been reciprocated because of the Soton/Pompey hate scenario. In all truth, Bournemouth are like us, naturally neutral but desperate for some sort of rivalry. Yeovil hasn't got much appeal so they look east to us and the other two. Soton and Pompey is too deep rooted and we have decided that the rivals for a seaside club should be a club in London, with no natural affiliation to us.

Do you really get off on spending your life 'pretending' badly to be a Brighton fan...?

Er do they? I see nothing more than a one page thread with two Bournemouth fans saying that?
And in any case, as everyone else is saying, who cares?

Yeah I suppose you've got to be careful too.
I can see what you mean, but Cardiff got 62m in TV rights during their one year in the big time, and will receive I think 60m in parachutes over the next 4 years. Hard to think that wouldn't help balance the books unless you go completely mad assembling your PL squad.
Right first and foremost I am being SINCERE this isn't me being SARCASTIC.
(Even though I appreciate the irony of makes those words capitals is NSC code for insincere sarcasm)
I do believe in my interpretation of Premier League Ready.
Clearly not going down is more pressing than promotion, and the longer we're in this division and unstable the less likely promotion will become.
But having said that I think the club are right in making PLR a backroom mantra.
Now taking their eye off the ball on the pitch is proving to be near professional suicide, so there's something wrong with the balancing act.
Looking from the outside it would seem 'Boro and Derby are PLR.
They could hold their own against the utter dross a the bottom of the PL.
Brentford and Bournemouth aren't.
If IF our time comes it's only going to work if the club doesn't spend the summer marauding like a headless chicken off the pitch.

I just object to the aggressive attitude in the use of cretin. Just because you disagree. I am a very happy person and don't need to lighten up thanks.
Oh shut up you tart!

good luck to them
we have a shiny brand new stadium,the only difference between us as it stands and a few points
personally love the B'mouth games,not arrogant to think we shouldn't be playing them

you are so incredibly out of order. Do you have something on the mods or are you sleeping with them.
Have you actually seen some of the names we call each other on here? Cretin is very mild compared to c**t (two posts below your latest protest which you haven't told him off for, bless).
I' m not disagreeing; just merely referring to the fact that some cretins (it means stupid, shock horror) were wrong about Palace getting stuffed every week.
Now.....................let's be friends. xxx
