I just googled average home attendances for Bournemouth AFC and was staggered to discover that it seems to be around only 11,500. Surely that's not correct and can't sustain a premier league team?

Rich man owns the club. Chelsea had crowds of less than 10k during the 1980’s.

Look at Villarreal, (town of 50 k,) ground capacity 23k regularly play in European football , buy good players sell on for a huge profit and have made a profit each season for the last 5 seasons .

Matchday revenues only make up ~15% of the average PL club's overall. Broadcast and sponsorships are much bigger.

I guess they arent selling away tops for a penny then

EMC has a pair on when I saw a pic of him yesterday too. We've obviously got a deal somewhere for a bulk order

PL clubs are significantly less impacted by ticket revenue than teams lower down the food chain.

Having an American billionaire owner also helps.

Brentford and Bournemouth are still objectively tiny clubs though. Would be interesting to see one of them get to Wembley these days - would they even sell out their allocation?

I view Brentford as a big club these days. Not sure why though

Scienza is a proper player. A flower growing out of a plant pot full of turd.

I'm sure he'd be buzzing at the prospect of the challenge of getting Blues from lower midtable to upper midtable.

Im sure hes looking forward to at least another season in the championship with them, or, on the other hand, there is a better option which is looking more promising for PL football next season......
