Not according to @DorPolFootball on twitter yesterday - responding to a question from a BHA fan they said, "Where away fans will be tomorrow...yes you can have a 🍺"


:thumbsup:



Putting aside for a moment that they provide no bar, ...

Back to the bar, they aren't the only club are they? ... I wish our club would reciprocate. If the other club doesn't provide our fans with certain facilities, we shouldn't provide the away fans with facilities at the Amex that they deny us.

You can have a beer*

Watford too! The way I look at it is screw them, lost revenue. I bet their fans spend more at the AMEX than we do at their grounds

You can have a beer*

Why make Bournemouth fans ‘ suffer’ with no bar just because we can’t buy a beer there?

Despite their stadium only holding about 14 people, it seems that demand has been somewhat weak for tickets for tonight's game.

It's almost as if Bournemouth are back in the Championship already, and the Premier League glory boys have lost interest again.

Sorry to piss on your fireworks but this game sold out weeks ago as has every PL game,

Any returns are sold the day before the fixture and thats what these are...it actually says returns if you look hard enough.

Returns can be anything, from players wives not going (plus kids) , sponsor returns or just people buying tickets who shouldn't have.

Nice try though. :wink:

Fair play, well done on selling all 400 tickets. :thumbsup:

That's lucky. They can't fit a crowd in their stadium.

My daughter’s boyfriend is a Luton fan, even he isn’t impressed.

What's the general mood like amongst your AFCB friends about tonight? I'll be honest, I really have no idea how this will play out.

Putting aside for a moment that they provide no bar, I'm baffled by the fact that they can play in the EPL, the biggest league in the world, with such tiny, shoddy facilities. The EPL really should bring in minimum standards for grounds including a minimum capacity.

Back to the bar, they aren't the only club are they? Certainly there were a fair few in the Championship. I wish our club would reciprocate. If the other club doesn't provide our fans with certain facilities, we shouldn't provide the away fans with facilities at the Amex that they deny us.

That might focus the minds of lesser clubs like Bournemouth who don't treat visiting fans in the same way as we treat away fans at the Amex.

To be fair, some clubs don't treat their own fans as well as we treat away fans.

If other clubs don't provide decent facilities, our best response is to keep being better than them. We keep their fans coming, we get their money.
