Have any of you read the Canaries' board lately for their views on Grabban? Think you dodged a bullet there?

Bournemouth don't have a billionaire owner (unless you're talking Turkish Lire?) I'm one of the few AFCB supporters who want him to go and there's a wider bunch who are apathetic to his leaving. He's not ted Mac/Colin clarke/Phil Boyer/Danny Ings (one for the youngsters there) so not as great a...

I believe, Man City got away with such things by signing sponsorship deals with companies owned by the club's owners. If that's the case, then I suspect it will happen at AFCB. To return to the point of the thread, I can understand why Grabban would be considered an option as a replacement for...

Which merely serves to underline my point. The catchment area for AFCB within a small geographic location in circa 500k. Therefore, gates of 30k are plausible (albeit the sort that would only come with a trip to the top-flight) We're not trying to get 25,000 gates with a 150,000 population.

And you're probably correct, after all, who'd have thought Wimbledon would've made it to the top flight and the FA Cup Final eh? After all, it was only about '74 that Dickie Guy was saving Lorimer penalties. AFCB since late '60s, so perhaps you missed the 20,000+ gates at Dean Court versus B&HA...

No idea. Not privy to the accounts. Were I to have a punt on it, I'd say 'poorly' and 'no' ........but see next answer.

Tongue in cheek comment. No, I don't expect Ings and Vokes to come back here. Merely pointing out that they are products of our youth set up.

I assume from this post you weren't watching Bournemouth v Brighton games in the 70s?

No it's not 'pure fantasy' it's a viable option IF our owner were to subsidise the squad for a push to the Premiership. Nobody has said B&HA aren't 'prem ready' but you must be a newcomer to league football if you don't know the history of clubs such as Wigan or Reading and their grounds (or...

Fairly close to a sell out in recent games. We have to 'lose' 10% of seats to cover segregation, so anything around the 10,500 mark is getting close to full. Bear in mind that SFC had 15,000 gates at the dull but doubled that upon the move to their new stadium. Combination of new ground and Prem...

That's quite a geographical spread in terms of miles. The East Dorset Conurbation, runs from Poole to Christchurch and up to Wimborne/Verwood. 10 miles East-West, 12 miles North-South. But probably immaterial. Anything over half a million gives a potential 25,000 if you go for 5% of the pop to...

As SJL has pointed out, Grabban does work his socks off in a lot of matches, especially at away games, however he is not without his flaws. His passing is generally poor and he's very slow to release the ball anywhere near the box, even when a team-mate is in a better position, for me the most...
