A BIG NIGHT DOWN THE ROAD.......

A home win against Bolton tonight will effectively guarantee our little neighbours Bournemouth promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their history. If Bournemouth get the 3 points, only Middlesbrough would be able to snatch 2nd place from them and they would need to overcome an inferior goal difference of at least 17 in their final game.

I think it would be good to have the 2 local clubs in the top division......

A 3-0 win so two local derbies next season.

I have put a congratulations message from this website on a Bournemouth forum.

Thank you for the congratulations message

It's not quite sunk in yet - tinpots on tour in the prem! Surreal - it's utter madness!

Looking forward to the 2 local derbies, they should be a good day out as long as our respective idiots don't try & turn them into something they aren't!

Agree with your sentiments. It would be great if both clubs could become forces to be reckoned with in the Premier League!

If there are any willing folk on your forum, perhaps we could encourage some friendly rivalry next season......maybe a result forecasting contest between fans of the two clubs?

I also posted the above message on the Bournemouth forum too and bmb_afcb has replied.....

"A Saints/afcb friendly rivalry might be good! Let us get rid of our hangovers first"


Just possibly this could be a way to get a bit of life back on Southampton World?

Nice work Mike.

I left another message on the Bournemouth forum a few days ago, asking whether we are going to try this.........but no answer
