Ground Share with Bournemouth if they go up?

They will do everything in their power to stay at home as that will be a major advantage over many prem teams next season, just like the Dell used to be for us.

 

I don't think playing in a new build stadium that's got fewer people in it than most grounds is going to have any impact on Prem teams at all. The atmosphere at The Dell came from fans being so close to the pitch and the cramped conditions, plus to a certain extend the dilapidated nature of the place (though that wasn't uncommon in the 80s). The only "intimidation factor" at Bournemouth will be their crappy changing facilities, which I've experienced first hand, and the home team are barely better off than the away side in that regard anyway.

 

Other than that it's just a smaller version of various photofit stadia and there's really nothing for a team to be concerned about, especially when you consider that 60% of the crowd wasn't even going to their matches 5 years ago, they're hardly hardcore.

There is no minimum capacity requirement for the Premier League.

 

Even if there was Bournemouth could do the work over the summer.

 

Plus in any case why would Saints agree to a ground share?

 

- Saints don't need the money

- Hampshire police wouldn't like 20,000+ Cherries fans in the city 19+ times a year

- It doubles the games on the St Mary's pitch

 

Depends on the media facilities. FM2015 isnt real life mate.

It was to do with premier league media boxes or something like that not capacity I think.

 

Be weird if it happened, agree that is extremely unlike to

 

Some open topped concrete efforts like those Dell chocolate box things could be economically and speedilly lashed up to solve that
