We've been fighting against the threat of administration and bankruptcy for about 15 years, including points being deducted in the last couple of seasons - hopefully we're on the straight and narrow now.
Just got my ticket for the "massive" Carling Cup 1st round clash away at Southampton next month. Local rivals, but first competitive match between the two teams for 23 years. I hope I make it out alive.
Bournemouth are in the same league as Tranmere this season (the first meeting between the two sides is on 21st August), so I'm sure I'll have more to say after the game.
Up the Cherries - in all departments! |
That's pretty crazy when a team is barely saved from being kicked out of the Football League to being promoted!
Anything can happen in the lower leagues.!
