You'd be forgiven for thinking that was the attendance for a League 1 game. But that was a Premier League attendance, tonight, Bournemouth v Wet Spam. Astonishing.

Average gate during that time was 17746


“Officially”

Anyway I was using the Bournemouth recent gate to make my point.

I've tried them both and Thread Mode suits me better. I can see who is replying to whom more clearly and if a thread has 50 youtube videos on it, I don't have to load them all.

On the other hand I have at last found a way to confirm that I am viewing in table mode (got no issues looking at all the posts in a nice neat chronological order, sensible.)

So Table Mode 1 Thread View 0, 'cos that's the way I see it...(this post is in table view, isn't it?)

Not for me it isn't.

Find it much easier to follow long, multi-branch discussions using thread view. Especially seeing who has replied to who. Plus the lack of boxes and avatars makes the screen less crowded. On the other hand, very evtended threads sometimes disappear off the right hand side of the screen and are lost in the blue.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

I've done so.

Yes it's definitely a bug but I wish people would be more descriptive with subject titles. Not only does it help people here make a more informed decision whether to open a thread but it also helps the thread get interest from Google.

But yes, DEFINITELY a bug.


Thank you.

Gate receipts are a drop in the ocean when it comes to FFP. It’s nice to have a big ground to enable more fans to support the team and create a little more commercial revenue. But the real money comes through tv and sponsorship.

This crowd thing annoys me a little. 11,204 was our average gate under MM in the dark days and we had a 30k stadium. Now all of a sudden we’re billy big b0ll0cks because we’re selling out our ground. Not really sure what people are expecting Bournemouth to do?


eh? Nobody's being billy big b0ll0cks, it's just a surprisingly low crowd for a Prem game in this day and age (and not at full capacity). We were towards the lower reaches of the Championship under MM (and that Bournemouth gate is nowhere near our average either).

Huge investment to get them there but once they reached the summit they have the riches of Sky to spend and invest. Gate receipts will just be a nice top-up.

The problem with table mode is I lose track of any replies. But then thread mode is used by reprobates. It’s a conundrum

They've also bought and sold well, and have an excellent manager.

Yes, indeed. Never understood the negative attitude some posters have towards them. Yes, they’ve spent money but that doesn’t mean successful promotions. Derby failed miserably as did we in the early days of Marcus Evans - and that was when having money was much more of an advantage.

They cheated (broke the financial rules) to get to the PL, so I can understand why some are dismissive towards them. However, unlike some other clubs, they accepted the punishment that was given to them. They took a risk and it paid off for them. It didn't for others.

I guess pre-season, Bournemouth (along with Forest) were among the clubs that people hoped might be catchable if it wasn't to be the three promoted clubs going down again. And they've sort of gone 'see ya, we're out of here'.

Use the 10 years of PL money to grow their fanbase in the local community - it's not a massive ask is it?

We haven't had a league attendance that low this millenium - it can't be great for the 'PL Product/Brand' to have such a small stadium in it, there should be a need to increase it to a minimum standard if in there long enough

I'd potnetially disagree on the final point... does having a small stadium help them sell it to other countries as "the best league in the world"... see - any team can do it dvaid vs gloiath type thing?

I honestly don't know, but it's feasible I guess.
