[ROVERT47]

They have plans to increase it to 20,000 (which will at least have competed with QPR)

In the close season?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Loftus Road holds a tick over 18k, Bloomfield Road is around 17k. Dean Court will definitely be the smallest ground to hold Premier League football in the last 20 years or so (there might have been some really small capacities in the early-to-mid 90s when grounds were being redeveloped all over the place). There isn't too much they'll be able to do in three months.

In the close season?

You are right - won't happen that quickly, though having checked they have drawn up plans to increase to 18k.

Suspect they can't go much above that where they are without a complete rebuild

 

[ROVERT47]

Probably be plenty of South Bank style corner boys seating, although hard to see where.

 

[Kenny]

Penalty Bournemouth and Bolton down to 10 men

 

[Kenny]

Penalty missed. Awful attempt over the bar

 

[ROVERT47]

How many penalties has Calum Wilson won this season?

 

[Kenny]

3-0 Wilson

 

[Freddeno]

And there wilson scores..would have been nice to have him at wolves, but we have two good strikers already

 

[ROVERT47]

Fuck me, hope Millwall find that beach in time for Saturday.

 

[Kenny]

Fuck me, hope Millwall find that beach in time for Saturday.

All fans of Rotherham tomorrow night

 

[darlowolf64]

Penalty Bournemouth and Bolton down to 10 men

No...Surely not?

 

[Kenny]

FT.

So just need a Bournemouth 10-0 defeat on Saturday and Boro to win 10-0....

 

[SSB]

Their Russian owner looks and probably is smashed.

 

[darlowolf64]

Just had to listen to the BBC love in on the way home from work and my word, some of their fans are deluded. Two of them going on about how Bournemouth are going to be the Monaco of the English game!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Similar gates to Monaco, maybe.

 

[darlowolf64]

Similar gates to Monaco, maybe.

Also everyone going on about all the success Eddie Howe has had in leading Bournemouth but conveniently leaving out how he left them and bombed at Burnley

 

[Kenny]

@CAFCofficial Bournemouth celebrating like they've completely ruled out a 19-0 defeat at the Valley on Saturday. We'll see... #cafc

Bravo Charlton, bravo

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

To be fair, I don't think there's any denying he has done a fantastic job at Bournemouth, even if the narrative of them doing it on a shoestring is wrong, and they've had a sizeable slice of fortune with some refereeing decisions this year.

Remains to be seen how grounded the club remain - I don't know enough about the owner or chairman to say either way, but there are plenty out there who would be very quickly seduced by a high profile, currently unemployed manager who has a history of publicly touting for jobs that are already occupied and who lives in the local area (let's call him Rarry Hedknapp) if they get off to a really poor start next season. And we all know how that would end.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Let them have their 'day in the sun' - be surprised if it lasts more than 1 season unless the owner is prepared to throw a mega amount at it and hope that's enough

Rarry Hedknapp and Bournemouth rejioined as per Deutsch's suggestion - lovely.
