    I know for some reason a lot on here want them to come back up, but as someone who has lived behind enemy lines all his life, I can safely say that it would be funnier than Everton getting relegated if Bournemouth didn't go up.

    As someone who is sick of parachute payments creating yo yo teams like Norwich, and basically locking up 2 out of 3 promotion spots each season, I say stay down Bournemouth. You had your chance, give someone else the opportunity

    Greetings from lower league Sunderland.

    I thought I'd jump on the main page and see who else's teams fans are active on here, seems yours in a well used one. So I came onto this thread and seen this comment, and I couldn't agree more with what you've said about Norwich, they must be worth a fortune by now, constant income of TV and relegation money, bust a gut to get promoted then hardly try once up.

    Definitely needs massive adjustment. It’s still beyond me that finishing bottom of PL will equate to a revenue of about £125M (for that season) & then 4yrs of £48M parachute whereas finishing top of Championship = £2M prize money. Obscene! (Yes of course I get the revenue reward over the next 5yrs min but just doesn’t sit right with me). Numbers might be a touch out but not too far.

    Can’t even open the log in page! Bizarre, says domain not connected to the internet. Can’t even access the live contact to ask what is going on. No idea.

    Yeah the Southampton board is pretty active, that's why I prefer it to the Portsmouth board which is generally d.e.a.d. and most of the people here are alright for 'scummers'.

    Turns out Farnborough are playing in Hayes on bank holiday Monday... I'm not likely to go, but after seeing them lose in two play off finals in person, maybe that's for the best

    Championship promotion race is hotting up. Bompey are stuttering, they've only won once in their previous 6 games, while Forest have won 8 from 9. If Bompey fail to win against Blackburn today, and Forest beat Swansea, they will be neck and neck, and the two of them go up against each other on Tuesday night. Drama!

    I’d love it if Bompey went all Spursy.
