Bournemouth Attendance


GenevaSaint

Recommended Posts

Someone in another thread said 25,000 sold at 1pm today. Could be 27,000 tomorrow.

 

if we get to 27k, then I realise thats partly down to 3.2k from Bmuff, but great effort from our lot given the results this season

 

and a chance for the Bmuff lot, and Mr Mitchell, to see what great support looks like...

such a high crowd for a team you dont care about?

 

Whats the attraction? :-)

 

Is it our manager? Cant be..you didnt want him.

 

Is it the fact you are playing Bournemouth ...nah you dont give a toss about us.

 

Is it because Adkins has put fire in your belly?....well it hasnt happened yet has it.

 

Is it because its a local derby?....no of course its not a derby.....ours is Weymouth or Dorchester isnt it!! (according to some on this site)

 

Is it because we are second in the league?.....Cant be , if Oldham were second would you pull in 23/24k home support in your position.

 

Is it because you battered Yeovil.....you didnt so it cant be?

 

Is it our chairman per chance....unlikely

 

cheap tickets...nah

 

whats the attraction then...care to enlighten us all

 

 

 

 

...confused from Bournemouth...........

It's a chance for a lot of curious locals to see two teams they may follow play each other. Of course the attendance is up. This is not a derby though, you are not hated local rivals. May the best team win tomorrow and I genuinely hope you guys continue your good form for the rest of the season.

Ossie,

 

I assume the increase in attendence is mostly to do with us having performed well against Wednesday, this being our first home game since then and all. I would also guess that many Cherries will be hiding in the wrong end, going with Southampton mates etc.

 

Don't kid yourself, this is not a derby. When you were promoted there was a small cheer at St Mary's. Many of us look out for your results, and are hoping you do well. I'm sure some of your fans will try to start a rivalry, and I'm sure some of our yoof are stupid enough to react.

 

Hope that helps...

Our average attendance last season was 21000 we sold out for Brighton & Exeter they are not our rivals either.

 

Get over yourself it may be your cup final but Saints fans just dont care about you.

I am deliberately not going to show that there is no rivalry on our part. I urge all fans to do the same and let's try and get our lowest attendance of the season. Come on lads - let's show them that they mean nothing to us!

whats the big crowd for then? half price pasties!! ...I can understand last season when you had something to play for and showed some promise but in your current position with a manager who seems intent on boring you all to mid table safety Im just wondering what the attraction was?

 

Our big game is next week against Brighton for your info...we have seen enough premiership has beens / wannabees to know the score..Leeds, wendies etc and you are no different

Why are you bringing 3,200 then? and still moaning you should have had more tickets. Lets face it thats nearly your home attendance.

 

How many are you taking to Brighton? assuming you have sold out your allocation already.

So home come then you have sold out 3200, well over a week before the game? On top of that many Bournemouth fans will have bought tickets in the home end and also hospitality to help "swell" the attendence. Not a big game for you? Had enough of premiership has beens? Yeah ok.

whats the big crowd for then?

 

It's all very simple, although perhaps a little challenging for some people to grasp...

 

I'll therefore explain it as uncomplicatedly as possible:

 

My cousin is a Bournemouth fan

 

He couldn't get a ticket for the game (because lots more Bournemouth fans than usual wanted to go to an inconsequential away game for some reason...)

 

He phoned me to ask if I was going.

 

I said, no, I hadn't planned on going but could get us a couple of tickets if he fancied it.

 

He said ok.

 

I bought a couple of tickets.

 

The attendance figure went up by two.

 

Now, here comes the complicated bit....

 

Being born and living near Dorset (as one does) and having friends and family in the area, the chances of me (and no doubt many others) receiving an off the cuff "fancy going to the game?" phone call are much greater for a 'local' game than receiving a similar phone call about the Saints vs Rochdale game (for example)

 

Hope that helps?

I know people are saying it's not a derby etc as there's no history blah blah blah, but all rivalry/derby games have to start somewhere and I for one enjoy the banter etc rivalry brings. It's only a few idiots who get carried away and take it way too seriously. After all we should get used to rivalry's against lower league clubs as the way things are looking this could be the norm for a while. Just enjoy it!

Who remembers the hampshire cup game at dean court in 84? roughly 10 saints were near the home in that bus stop they called the new stand,after making themselves known with SOOOOOUTHAMPTON ! 60 or so bmth ran down from the back of the home end for a `confrontation´ it took ONE saints lad jumping over the wall for the lot of them to leg it back to the top of the stand, laugh? only for half hour or so.

Don't kid yourself.At the end of the season we will have increased the average home attendance of nearly every team we play awayfrom St Marys. Do you think you will be able to say the same even if you stay in the top six? Now jog on sonny don't you have a paper round to finish before your cup final tomorrow.

There's only one way were gonna shut this tiny club up and that is to get out of this division. Whilst were both in the same league they will call us rivals for that very reason.

 

Brighton are the same. They dont like us siLets start tomorrow. B

Lets face it ,if it wasnt for us,Bournemouth wouldve been relegated years ago.We were sending them our players when we were Premiership and i dont ever remember them saying we were rivals then?

In fact i dont ever remember them even saying thankyou?

Still i hope their second FA Cup final lives up to their expectations(we will win of course) and they enjoy a stadium with four sides and with proper support.

For the last 50 years we haven't met in a League game since we were last in this level. Says it all really.

 

This Ossie bloke is clearly over excited about a meaningless game other than the three points we are going to win. Of course it's their "cup final". Without our financial help in the past in terms of players and friendlies they may not exist now, ungrateful w******!!

 

And as for the c*** Howe, he has shown his true colours recently and soon will meet his comupence as his team fall down the table and back into oblivion. They have peaked and now will start the decent.

Will be 2 less if my bloody tickets dont turn up in the post tomorrow morning !

 

The TO hold the ticket back sometimes, even if you selected to have the ticket posted. If they don't turn up they'll be at the TO to collect.

What hasn't been mentioned is that SAGA are running a two for one coach offer this afternoon, meet under the Pier at midday, bring a blanket and some Werthers originals. The beauty of these no mark tick turds attempting to wind us up is that next time they are about to go pop they wont be able to look East for assistance. Lets see where we are when we have our trip to the seaside...

Some of my mates are going in a mini bus up from Poole. They are Arsenal, Liverpool, Man U and a West Ham supporter. Of the 14 going only 2 are Boscombe supporters and none are Southampton supporters. It's people like them that are boosting the attendance.

 

Why on earth do they want to go to a league one match then?!
