Bournemouth in EPL

What is this EPL that you talk of pleze?

Essex Public library?
Erectile failure due to pubic lice?
Early pregnancy loss?
Easy payday loan?
early exit from the premier league??

Wolves fans? They only have two chants - 'Same old Arsenal always cheating' and 'we support our local team'. Mugs - no thanks

I wish Bournemouth well, but how can an 11,000 seat stadium be acceptable in the PL? Surely, they could share with Soton.

What part of it is unacceptable? Why can't we any longer accept a small stadium?

Most countries have minimum standards for stadiums. Bournemouth have got to improve and increase facilities for the media plus other bits and pieces.

Where you set the limit is debatable, but I would have thought that 15,000 minimum in the first year and 20,000 by year 2 were reasonable.

Would Brighton's 8,000 be OK?

I think access for fans is important.

If Brighton had a ground with 8000, then so be it. I guess that's all they required at the time, as Bournemouth have never really required more than they currently have.

If it's their choice to increase the stadium's capacity, then that's fine. If they don't want to, then they shouldn't have to. All they have to do is make sure saftey and security standards are met.

I see no reason whatsoever why it's unacceptbale for them to operate out of their current ground, albeit with minor upgrades.
