Will it conveniently be a consistent rollover for all eternity? At what point will the trust pop up to say that they have been taking a 50% cut all along?

rallyboy Posted 29 April, 2014 Share Posted 29 April, 2014 Launching a club lottery? Is it 1965? They really are pioneering new sports marketing ideas for the digital age. It's all gone a bit Brylcreem and halftime Woodbine. Next up, a football league insert in every programme, and Bobby Moore encourages you to play darts in your local pub. #nostalgia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pompey lottery is a hospital that lost out on investment because someone thought it was more important to keep a rancid football club alive rather than pay back more than 4p in the pound to the public purse.

No doubt, Admiral Awford will be provided with a sizeable, Nelson-sized war chest, and the money will be found from somewhere. You can see charity collecting boxes on newsagents' counters on the Septic Isle being chained down, giant cardboard cheques being dishonoured, and even more 'charity' bike rides which aren't for charity. You can also see the HNWs coughing up even more money and the share percentage owned by the bestest, biggest fan-owned trust in the world being diluted more than botox.

Saint Lindford Posted 1 May, 2014 Share Posted 1 May, 2014 Found this comment on one of their forums. Not sure any Cherries fans would agree, come to think of it not many fans full stop would agree with it. AFC Bournemouth lost £15.3m in the financial year ending July 2013, the season in which they were promoted to the Championship Their Russian Owner has lent them c.£8 million Sounds a bit dodgy, rather be in our position anytime! Not sure any Cherries fans would agree with the last little comment, who would want to swap with a team who have just struggled all season to stay in the FL.

Minty Posted 2 May, 2014 Share Posted 2 May, 2014 So, according to Awford the club "needs to be back in the Championship" but that might not be for 15 years... I would suggest that if it took that long then there is no 'need' to be in the Championship at all, because if they're not extinct after that long surviving in Leagues 1 or 2 (or lower) then they should (even them) have cut their cloth accordingly by that point.

rallyboy Posted 3 May, 2014 Share Posted 3 May, 2014 Very good point Mr Munster - by writing off their penalty the FL actually kept them in the football league. Though, had they been -10 all season I would imagine they'd have given it up long ago and been about 15pts adrift. Either way, Bristol Rovers can say a big thank you to the erratic FL justice system.
