Rat catcher 293 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 All I'm saying we had a modern 34000 capacity stadium. We. got promoted after the Brighton game. Sky then said we needed to spend £5 million to upgrade their media access. Bournemouth had a 12000 capacity stadium, Did Sky say they needed to spend £5 on media access,???

What does media access have to do with capacity? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Rat catcher 293 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It's got ucck all about capacity. But we had to spend £5 million on access when we had a new stadium. Link to post Share on other sites

Originally it was that Bournemouth got to stay in the premier league with a small stadium, now it's that we had to spend money to improve our media access in a completely different era?

Rat catcher 293 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 So Bournemouth stadium which was like Darlington's Arena was fully fit for the premier league. Where as the Riverside a new stadium had to spend £5 to upgrade it media facilities to suit sky. If we had a 12000 capacity stadium The premier league would have kicked off.

Bournemouth’s stadium only holds 12000 but it’s media facilities are all updated Link to post Share on other sites

We had no choice but to build a brand new stadium. The Taylor Report only affected clubs in the top two divisions so Bournemouth weren't affected, then the report was tweaked multiple times with some of the rules relaxed. He's not talking about when we moved to the Riverside DZ, he's talking about when we went up under AK, we immediately had to renovate our media stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
Rat catcher 293 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Well that just fine, hope the upgrade did not cost £5 million. Link to post Share on other sites

Did they just want us to buy them a new tripod for their camera or something?! Tight beggars 😛 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We obviously could afford it, we built Rockcliffe Park for christ's sake. Either you just hate Bournemouth for some reason or there's a real "old man shouts at cloud" energy here. Either way mate, it's a *** weird hill to die on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,496 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Did not realise until yesterday match how strong WBA squad is. They have 5 very good centre backs for this level in Bartley, OShea, Ajayi, Kipre and Clarke. Good midfielders in Livermore n Mowatt. And then in attack they got Diangana, Robinson and Grant. All 3 can hit each double figures easily. And then they got likes of Matt Phillips, Reach, Snodgrass, Sawyers etc in reserve. And they are still looking to strengthen.

WBA will take some stopping in this league, they are big, fast and under the new coach they are playing a brand of, in your face intimidating football. It’s quite daunting to look at their squad in comparison to ours, which is why they carry my hard earned with the bookies to become champions. They are talking to City about bringing in Delap but apart from that, Ismael thinks he has the tools for the job 1 Link to post Share on other sites
