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.

Wimbledon used to regularly get around 5,000 unlike Bournemouth that wasn't their capacity, when Man Utd came to town the attendance would double to around 10,000 |  |

I knew Bournemouth's capacity was low but I didn't realise it was that low! Just been looking at their attendances and tonight's was only their 3rd worst. | |

What is it with not being able to open the original thread when it’s just numbers in the title?? |  |

It is 1100 more than Colchester’s stadium. Tiny for 2024 PL really. Shows what financial ‘doping’ can do for you. But of course they’re very plucky. |  | | |

Does make you wonder about financial fair play, how on Earth are Bournemouth where they are without their huge financial backing, not supportable on those crowds.
Once the backing goes, they will be back to being a Div 3/Div 4 yoyo team unless they have plans to actually get a decent size stadium, say 30k in the future. |  |

What is that huge financial backing (without spending time researching via Google)? PSR still relies heavily on income so with such a small income from ticket sales its either player sales (they spent heavily in the summer even using Solanke money) or its sponsorship. Surely its impossible to remain without the PSR rules year upon year? Could be one or 2 poor player investments away from being in trouble? |  | | |

The need to have a big or fairly big stadium is irrelevant due to the fact that each PL team receives at least £100 million per season from Sky. |  | | |

So why aren't Port Vale or Tranmere, couple of clubs which let's face it are the same level as Bournemouth with actually bigger stadiums doing the same?
Bournemouth are only where they are because of huge investment, fair play to them, but once it goes, they will too. Sky money won't keep them where they are. | |

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. |  |

Is that place still Dean Court and they have renamed it? Or is it elsewhere? |  | | |

I thought it quite intriguing to just start with the number... and then the first line of the thread (which sensible people in table mode can see) is the descriptive bit.
It never ceases to amaze me the seemingly innocent things I post on here I end up getting in trouble for! | |

No, fair enough. I'm more thinking about the General section really. I have a fix in mind for the bug. | |

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? | | | |

They have plans to build a new stadium next to the current one. At the moment they are having a state of the art training ground being built out of town. That will free up the space.
This came from talking to some Bournemouth fans before last week’s game. It’s better than making assumptions! |  | | |

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. | | | |
