Both teams looked pretty poor to me with a distinct lack of quality out on the park today

Cannot see SMS being extended on the basis that we may play in the Champions league for a season or two. NC is a business man and he will need some idea of funding from the sale of season tickets. Rupes indicated we would have to sell 25K each year over 5 years for this to be realistic and viable and I would be inclined to agree.

An instalment plan to overcome the cheats, could be instigated by releasing the Tickets in batches up to the end of the 6th month period. This would ensure the dirtect debits are paid to cover and when all cash has been paid, releasing the rest on block. Simple.

Rupes estimated that we would need to sell 25K Season Tickets each year over 5 years to prove viability for stadium expansion when we were in the Premiership. I do not think we an get anywhere near that so talk of increasing capacity is a pipe dream I am afraid.

Those awful old stadiums, with pitches devoid of grass & shared with Rugby Clubs.

A great effort Mike. Well done. £10 donated today but forgot to add comments. Nevertheless the thought is still there.

Fortunate to have seen the Busby Babes play at Chelsea and Tottenham when I was still at school, but my memories were those great goals by Bobbie over his playing career. Absolutely fabulous.

He was also Bournemouth's mascot for some years and used to come out and run around the pitch ala Sammy Saint does for us. He also belonged to Bournemouth Spartans who swan on Christmas day and I believe he was a member of Poole Wheelers Cycling Club.

Fonte, because he has been a regular, helped to keep all those clean sheets, in the League 1 Team of the year and scored goals. On top of that he is a classy CB.

The pitch was cutting up a couple of months ago and you could see large chuncks of sand underneath. Seems to have been ok for the last few games as the grass knits in. Probably why we did not win the award this time.

I had the same trouble as he seems to speak through the back of his throat and his nose. If you gon onto the Brighton OS, there is a good translation there.

Chimpface skeletal Poyet is so ungracious. He does not seem to realise that whatever way we played today was Nigel's gameplan. He obviously did not have one to stop us. All his plans backfired today and we came out on top. A wonderful evening to enjoy tonight. COYR.

Talking of the Training Ground does anybody know the latest on this as things seem to have gone very quiet?

Did we not give them a Guard of Honour at the last game at the Dell, after they had won the 1st Division Championship?

That seems a sensible point of view to go along with.

Dickson my MOM today. Midfield poor and will never hack it in Championship. Passing went continully astray and seemed to stand off all the time. Connelly changed the game when he came on and we then looked more of a strike force. In saying that the Gas were never in it as far as their strikeforce went but their defence played well and tried very hard.

What a great day, whilst the stats show how close it was, we were so clinical in our finishing. Our two CD were immense and they both got everything in the air. The skill Fonte showed with the ball before he passed it to Lambert for Barney's goal was a treat to see. We left the car in a leafy road near Greenford Tube Station and got the central line all the way to Leyton. Passed our coaches around Basingstoke on the way back so that proved to be a good decision.

This was the first year of trading for the new Company and all the upfront costs would have been factored in so that tax losses can be carried forward ie Legal fees, Accountants fees, Due Dilligence Fees, valuation fees etc.

Beatts was great for us but we do not wish to spoil good memories by having him back now. We are in a different arena.

I hope Jaidi can play as I recall BWP was terrified of big Darren Moore when we played Barnsley at home in the Championship.

NA told us he bought N'gussen and Forte for power & pace, in the transfer window. With OxC out, they must now step up to the plate and with Championship experience, they should be capable.

If DS gets us over the problem our existing midfiellders have in not getting to the ball first and standing back whilst opponents get it under control, he will do for me. The rest of his ability seems to speak for itself if the Oldham Fans opinions are true.

No, George Kingfish Stephens

Thats the injury to our wingers settled then.

I agree with Sour Mash that we have not played well since the Oldham game. We do not seem to have upped our game since then and I have come away from SMS and some away games thinking we were poor but lucky to win. If we do not improve and this luck deserts us, we shall only reach the play offs at best. We all know what can happen then when Uncle George was in charge. I cannot help feeling worried now.
