How very classy

If I was them, I'd enjoy it while it lasts. Could be a Pompey Mk II.

Could be a Swansea, Wigan, Reading MkII

Good luck to Bournemouth, good to see a smaller club get some success. Hope they do well in championship next year. Hope some how we manage to sneak up there too.

Cheers bud. Really looking forward to seeing who we bring this summer and some of the fixtures.

Will be interesting to see if Demin continues to put money in, and push for the Premiership.

Must admit, I do feel for you having the wheels well and truly pulled off the cart by Mr Black deciding to sell up when you were well-placed. I think you had an excellent chance of top 2, in what is a pretty weak League 1 this year. We had similar when promoted from League 2 a couple of years ago, when Mitchell decided to offload some of best players and as result Howe left to Burnley.

You can't come on here and give it the big one about having Ritchie at Bournemouth and then show sympathy for Swindon because of Black's withdrawal of support... The decision that resulted in Town losing Ritchie.

Trolling can't be that hard can it?

New stand going up in the summer. A sustained period at a higher level should see crowds improve consistently. I know the other sides have bigger grounds, but I remember Reading pulling in same attendances as in the late 90's, along with Swansea and Cardiff averaging less than us

Decent catchment area and I know plenty of glory hunters who'll buy tickets regularly no we've been promoted.

I can and I have

Fair play to ballmouth for throwing money at it. If we had carried on then we would have pissed the league. Wheels fall off eventually though so enjoy it's while you can ballmouth fans.

16th largest urban area in UK:

Good scope for development, particularly with the wealth in the area, but with so many people in the Bournemouth Connurbation having fluxed in from other parts of the UK (retirees, students, sunseekers etc) I guess they seldom form an allegiance for the Cherries because they've already formed their footballing affinities elsewhere?

What sort of crowds do you remember Wigan getting in the 3rd division? I can't think they ever got over 5-6,000.

Well done on promotion, hopefully we will join you.

Really enjoyed both our matches this season, the home one for obvious reasons and the 1-1 in January was a great battle between two top sides.

So what if it goes tits up in a few years and you have to rebuild - I would much prefer that than season after season of midtable medriocity which I worry is where we are heading with this board. Football is all about winning and that usually requires money being chucked at it.

At risk of sounding pedantic, but ain't it "Ritchie" ?

[Berniman]

Push for the Premiership!?!

Oh dear!
