So we play Bournemouth, in another rollercoaster ,all go,total football, constant excitement game of football.
Don’t forget it’s 12:30 kick off as it’s on TV, some clown that sat near us always used to turn up late when it was an early kick off as though it was a shock, happened a couple of times which always struck me as stupid. Though the idea of sitting in the ground seems so distant & crazy anyway.
From 1899 to 1971 they changed their name a number of times in the vague hope of someone hearing of them.
As Harry Redknapp is probably the most famous person associated with them, let’s have a look at their totally legit financial history
1997 entered administration
2008 entered administration again
2016 violating FFP
Who would’ve thought it, wonder if there are any dogs on the board or in the accounts department
Maxim Denim is the current owner & he’s a Russian involved in the petrochemicals industry, absolutely zero chance of anything shady there then.
We’ve actually only ever played them 15 times; winning 5, drawing 4 & losing 6. We didn’t actually play them till 1949 when ORF was in the midst of a mid life crisis which would eventually lead him to a convict colony on the other side of the world
Biggest win is 4-1 in 2014 & biggest loss is 3-0 in 2007
My main memories of Bournemouth are the win under Pearce when we were not playing well but winning or after the charge by Frank & Charlie when we needed a win but got a draw.
They strike me as like Wigan in that they’ve no real reason to be a football team it’s just one rich guy did very well with them & because Sky invented football all we have done as a medium sized provincial club should be forgotten as they are the greatest because they took on giants (whilst being bank rolled) & sometimes won, obviously something we’d know nothing about.
The weather it’s going to be somewhere between -1.c & 2.c though should hopefully avoid rain or snow.
