FA Cup QF Draw | Bournemouth (A) | Sun 30 Mar 4:30pm

[deano ou812]

The only thing I don't like about Bournemouth is their tiny shit Subbuteo stadium.

I wouldn’t call it shit but the pitch seems small and tighter than other grounds,be a good game as long as we play our strongest team like the one against Newcastle and spurs recently..

It is hard enough for Bournemouth fans to get into the stadium, although there are plans to build a new one with a capacity of 20k. A tricky draw, but aren’t they all at this stage?

It's a very tricky draw ....

as Fulham might find out at Crystal Palace!

Same area as the Etihad pitch. Stands are closer to the pitch though.

I quite like Bournemouth and that tiny ground that I haven’t been to since 1987! Pity they took down them neon Vitality signs at either end of the ground, for some reason I really liked them on night matches.

I was there when Horlock managed to get a card for 'aggressive walking' , i bet that taught him to walk a bit slower ... i think that was a night game.

Problem is you never know with us. Spurs first half superb, second half awful. It’s a bit of a lottery.

Totally agree, let’s see what happens now, we need to cut out the mistakes and Pep needs to change it early when things aren’t going well.

We are the only team scheduled to play on the Wednesday after the quarter finals all other PL teams play on Tuesday. Something has to give as every fixture has at least one team that can’t play Sunday and then Tuesday. If only they were all played at 3.00pm on Saturday as they used to be

I think Bournemouth are on the slide, couldn’t beat 10 man Wolves, yeah there a good side but if we turn up they won’t live with us.

Correct . If we turn up and go at them then we should win but if we turn up and play sideways football then it will be a long night .

Have never been to Bournemouth's ground but been Bournemouth for a long weekend before and all I can say is the door staff for entry to pubs are stricter than anywhere I have ever been!

At least all the big teams are now out according to the laughing clown Richard's !

PS Sorry if I'm late to the party....

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

I live in Bournemouth but only been to the ground three times. The first wasn’t long after I moved here in 2022, and they were in division 2, struggling for survival. Next was an under 18 match when I was asked to keep an eye on my grandson who had a ticket as a perk for his youth team, and then last season I saw them play City. They have new owners and investing in new training facilities which are impressive, and plans for a new stadium. Maybe the next Brentford, huge progress over the last few years, so increasingly I am keeping quiet about my allegiance down here.

Up to this season, you would have took that draw all day long.
We play well, we win,it's as simple as that.

 

[Eaststander1]

Worst draw possible IMO. We'd have to beat them sooner or later though I suspect. They'd be my tip for the cup if they hadn't got us. I suspect we'll sneak through.

They're a tough cookie all right, but overall we have had a few wins at their place over the years, and I'm sure, with the right preparation and approach, we can do it again.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Dunno what the grumbling is about. Salford home, Orient away, Plymouth home and Bournemouth away, we can’t say that’s harsh

 

[Stelea]

Won’t get away with an half arsed rotated line up down there. Bar Villa away, the worse draw we could have got.

Don’t know whether you are trying to “catch a few” with this post, but we have a great record against Bournemouth.

 

[Ysabel 123]

Away, what a surprise. And against the best side left in it.

Oh well, just have to play our best available team and go for it.

mate we honestly cant complain after the 3 side we have face so far. Our 'luck of the draw' in this competition has been unreal for us over the last few year!

Until this version of us. Our seasons declined started v them when we were horrible

We played Salford, Leyton Orient and Plymouth to get here. Surely no blue can seriously call shenanigans on this draw. We had a bye to the quarters and still nearly fucked it up.

Yeah should have worded my post better gives the impression of a smaller pitch due to the stands being closer..
