bender Posted 16 April, 2015 Posted 16 April, 2015 It will be a huge victory for the game if they go up. I remember when Wimbledon went down in 2000 they said this kind of thing will never happen again. Well it is.

Wimbledon didn't have an owner pumping in the kind of money Bournemouth's owner is. tbf even with the owner's money what they've done is still impressive, as they are competing with clubs that have parachute payments and rich owners themselves.

I remember when Wimbledon went down in 2000 they said this kind of thing will never happen again. Well it is. I am sure teams like Wimbledon were not gambling on paying large wages on players like mercenary Kenwyne Jones to get them into the Prem?
Saint_Ash Posted 16 April, 2015 Posted 16 April, 2015 I still reckon it'll be Norwich and Watford in the top 2 places. Going to be an exciting time in the Championship though for the last 3 games and I think it'll come down to the last day of the season, I can see Norwich winning the last 3 of their games and Bournemouth losing to Charlton on the last day.
angelman Posted 16 April, 2015 Posted 16 April, 2015 Bmouth H v Sheff Wed (11th) Hv Bolton (17th) A v Charlton (12th) Norwich H v M'boro (4th) A v Rotherham (21st) H v Fulham (20th) Watford H v Brum (14th) A v B&HA (19th) H v Sheff W (11th) M'boro A v Norwich (2nd) A v Fulham (20th) H v B&HA (19th) Save for the Norwich v Boro, B'mouth have the "hardest" run in on paper. Even if Norwic/Boro draw it doesn't really help B'mouth as there is still Watford, who do have to face the inform Brum.
stevegrant Posted 16 April, 2015 Posted 16 April, 2015 I don't see Bournemouth dropping any points from those three games, none of their opponents have anything left to play for this season. Bournemouth and Watford as the top 2, I reckon.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 16 April, 2015 Posted 16 April, 2015 Bournemouth and Norwich for me. Think Norwich will turn over Boro.
Matthew Le God Posted 16 April, 2015 Posted 16 April, 2015 Even if Norwic/Boro draw it doesn't really help B'mouth as there is still Watford, who do have to face the inform Brum. Yes it does, because it makes it harder for them both to overtake Bournemouth.
angelman Posted 16 April, 2015 Posted 16 April, 2015 Yes - of course it does!!! Not sure what I was thinking - must have been finishing as Champions rather than automatic promotion. Or maybe something totally different, as it doesn't make any sense!
Saint_Ash Posted 16 April, 2015 Posted 16 April, 2015 One, if not all of Bournemouth, Norwich and Watford will drop points in these last three games. Bournemouth to lose the next game and M'boro to beat Norwich to make it even more exciting would be nice.
Redslo Posted 16 April, 2015 Posted 16 April, 2015 As Steve said above, its nothing like Wimbledon. Wimbledon didn't have an owner pumping in the kind of money Bournemouth's owner is. tbf even with the owner's money what they've done is still impressive, as they are competing with clubs that have parachute payments and rich owners themselves. And the amount of money he could pump in was limited by FFP. Although I suppose he could have cheated like QPR did (obviously, not to the same extent) and figured he would worry about that later.
angelman Posted 16 April, 2015 Posted 16 April, 2015 One, if not all of Bournemouth, Norwich and Watford will drop points in these last three games. Bournemouth to lose the next game and M'boro to beat Norwich to make it even more exciting would be nice. Disagree. Watford won't drop any. Norwich or Boro (but obviously not both) are quite likely not to drop any points (of course dependant on there not being a draw when they play each other). And why do you think B'mouth will drop any?
Bad Wolf Posted 17 April, 2015 Posted 17 April, 2015 Genuine question for everyone: If Bournemouth f*ck it up and don't get promoted, how would you feel? Disappointed? Humorous? Or do you just not really care?

Or do you just not really care? I wouldn't care. It would be nice if they went up - I think it's good for football to have different teams come up and get a slice of that Premier League money, but really I do not give two ****s.
the saint in winchester Posted 17 April, 2015 Posted 17 April, 2015 Disappointed. Local side, self funding, no big names, just hard work and good management. Come on yooooo Cherries!
Patrick Bateman Posted 17 April, 2015 Posted 17 April, 2015 Genuine question for everyone: If Bournemouth f*ck it up and don't get promoted, how would you feel? Disappointed? Humorous? Or do you just not really care? Disappointed actually. Not for the reason that they're our "plucky little neighbours who we actually like" or any of that rubbish, but because it's a local trip and it's good to see someone different come up. I personally don't want Middlesbrough to come up. Bournemouth, Ipswich, Watford for me.

Or do you just not really care? Disappointed. Local side, self funding, no big names, just hard work and good management. Come on yooooo Cherries! They have a rich Russian owner - Maxim Demin pumping money in. Not there is anything automatically wrong with that, we benefitted from something similar. Edited 17 April, 2015 by Matthew Le God
aintforever Posted 17 April, 2015 Posted 17 April, 2015 I would love it if they made it to the Prem, much more interesting than Middlesbrough or Norwich again.

Norwich or Boro (but obviously not both) are quite likely not to drop any points (of course dependant on there not being a draw when they play each other). And why do you think B'mouth will drop any? Because it's football And anything can happen. You'd probably get great odds if you put money on the top 3 winning all of their next three games.
the saint in winchester Posted 17 April, 2015 Posted 17 April, 2015 OK, I meant self-funding as in "not using relegation parachute payments" to lord it over others. Accept they have a wealthy benefactor.
Raging Bull Posted 17 April, 2015 Posted 17 April, 2015 They have a rich Russian owner - Maxim Demin pumping money in. Not there is anything automatically wrong with that, we benefitted from something similar. Out of interest do you know how much he's put in?
angelman Posted 17 April, 2015 Posted 17 April, 2015 Because it's football And anything can happen. You'd probably get great odds if you put money on the top 3 winning all of their next three games. Went on to my bookies site, and for wins for the top 3 winning their next game, I got 28/10. Weren't offering odds for the rest of the season, at least not that I could see.

The9 Posted 17 April, 2015 Posted 17 April, 2015 Genuine question for everyone: If Bournemouth f*ck it up and don't get promoted, how would you feel? Disappointed? Humorous? Or do you just not really care? I'd very a very tiny bit disappointed that I wouldn't get to go on the p155 in the New Forest on the way to an away match next season, but other than that, not bothered besides it meaning that either awkward to get to Norwich, too far and been loads Boro or just boring Watford would come up instead. I still want the Bournemouth/Brentford double, but the latter are struggling to make even the Play-offs at the moment.
simo Posted 17 April, 2015 Posted 17 April, 2015 With their tiny stadium etc I wonder how they have got around the ffp with all the money matey has been pumping in?

Saint Charlie Posted 17 April, 2015 Posted 17 April, 2015 Hopefully a draw tonight between Norwich and Boro. Any Saints fans going to the Charlton game? I know of a couple.
TimberTod Posted 17 April, 2015 Posted 17 April, 2015 With their tiny stadium etc I wonder how they have got around the ffp with all the money matey has been pumping in? Oh that was easy, just had a few seats that had £million ST prices; sorted.

Crazy Diamond Posted 17 April, 2015 Posted 17 April, 2015 Would I give a flying f*ck if they missed out? Nope.

nta786 Posted 18 April, 2015 Posted 18 April, 2015 They might not be 'coming' just yet- losing 1-0 to Sheffield Wednesday- where Isgrove is starting.
fanimal Posted 18 April, 2015 Posted 18 April, 2015 Good article on SSN earlier today forgotten how close they came to going out of the FL and being liquidated; then -17 and -10 points amazing really, especially when you consider what the Skates did at the same time! Hope they come up would be good to have a proper local derby….
bpsaint Posted 18 April, 2015 Posted 18 April, 2015 Just been reading on twitter that Bournemouth players were crying at the final whistle, is that true!!! That late equaliser could be devastating to their mindset ahead of the final two games.

Crazy Diamond Posted 18 April, 2015 Posted 18 April, 2015 Just been reading on twitter that Bournemouth players were crying at the final whistle, is that true!!! That late equaliser could be devastating to their mindset ahead of the final two games. I can remember when I worked at the club and they got tanked by Rochdale at home in a League Two game, both teams trying to get promoted. Howe was in bits. He instills it. Didn't help that the buildup was dominated by comments made by Keith Hill who said they ought to be ashamed at their financial problems etc.
Batman Posted 18 April, 2015 Posted 18 April, 2015 Just watched the football league show. Right old ding dong at Bournemouth. Their 3 promotion rivals all play before Bournemouth next and all of them have kind fixtures. The cherries could be 4th this time next week. Squeaky bum time Watford are going to do it. Just right on it at the mo
The Cat Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 Come on Bolton. I have a couple of quid on them at 12/1.
beatlesaint Posted 26 April, 2015 Posted 26 April, 2015 Come on Bolton. I have a couple of quid on them at 12/1. Bolton have a good record recently at Bournemouth apparently........just a little something else to add to the supporters nerves! Good luck to them though, a great story and a great achievement for the club.
