I'm a fan but am nervous, hoping
for the best and fearing the worst.
Should I be worried?

shouldn't be fruitless .
kennels , you'll have better fortune than the tangerines who's luck went a bit pear shaped . expect some plum fixtures . |

Cockroach, they can expect only 'cherry' fixtures.

I hate to be pedantic, but the word is actually 'fare'.
OK, to be fair, I lied - I like being pedantic. Farewell |

They remind me of Reading a few years ago when they got promoted a high scoring team with defensive frailties.I expect them to be ok next season,the element of surprise & all that,the following season might be different though.

cofc4me, I don't mind you being pedantic,
besides, I have friends who are also pedantic. Having said that I really thought 'fearing' was a word, not so it appears.GL. |

It's wonderful to see Bournemouth in the EPL. Small club with a great atmosphere. Surviving in the EPL is a massive task and will be a struggle. The best outcome would be to improve the squad without creating a huge financial burden and just carry on playing entertaining and attacking football. Will be a great season for the fans whatever happens. Who would have thought this possible five years ago? Just enjoy it.

it's possibly the first and only time a premier league fixture has been anywhere with a lovely (clean) sandy beach and blue sea .
beats the living hell out of Blackpool for sure . Nice trip for supporters of any league - obviously not so great in the depth of winter accepted |

Outside the top 6 there is an awful lot of s hit in the Premier League so if Bournemouth add a few experienced players, win enough home games and get lucky with injuries they have a fair chance of staying up.

I think they should first try sticking with this team/squad as much as possible - they have just smashed up a very tough league, so no reason they won't give most sides a game next season in the Prem, where there are plenty high-paid ponces not putting it all in.

I hope they buck the trend, gives a boost for smaller clubs to see what can be achieved

By:
to be fair - as a supporter looking for entertainment i'd not want promotion to the mind numbing snoozefes...sorry i meant Premier league -sooner watch an interesting game than a defensive 90 minute display -and i'm guessing B'mth will adapt this approach to survive .
But it's great for a small club to say you've been up at the top Money ,sorry - greed has ruined the game there is no doubt |

been a while Kenny, but seeing that guy with the mobility scooter invading the pitch at blackpool brought you to mind
made up for you now in the prem, can see you there next season blanket on your knees sucking your werthurs, real football fans will be a breath of fresh air |

My team (Bradford) had similar profile with our time at the top (Prem).
We were on gates about 18k at the time (funnily capacity now 25k in league one). Most people were prob sure we'd go down in the first season, but we proved them wrong by surviving for one season, then the drop came in '2nd season' syndrome. |
|
By:
As a fan, both seasons were great fun though - and in our first season we beat Arsenal, Newcastle and a few other scalps - second season was less fun, as we were getting beat more often!

Bournemouth could be a breath of fresh
air to the P/L as there seems a lot of negativity this season just ending, it should be an exciting season for the followers. |
|
By:
Second season was awful. We were down by Christmas.

Rob, who do you support?

By:
With a username of Rob_The_Bantam, I would hazard a guess that he supports Bradford City.

Don't forget to take some Marching powder with you to the games next season Kennels -after what i've seen in the PL this season you'll need it . Those teams won't want you playing attractive football

You earned the right to play with the 'big boys'. Enjoy it and if its only one season you will have a big pot of gold to go again. Hope my club Brentford can do the same next season. Dont think the Premiership will like 'little clubs' like us, but its getting a bit boring and needs a few new names. Blackpool were a breath of fresh air when they spent a season in there.Sadly for them it ended in disaster. I'm sure you will not end up like them. Hope to be up there with you the season after next. Good Luck.

Thanks for that post. I must say
as AFC were seriously in chasing promotion, I had/have reservations and thinking it could all end in tears as it has for some other clubs in recent years, and feeling 'better to travel than to arrive' etc not wanting to be humiliated, but I honestly feel the present side are as good as maybe 8 sides already in the P/L no one being taken apart,We can't wait to see the fixture list!! I look forward to seeing Cherries meeting Brentford in the P/L in 16/17. |
