Lags Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) Going off topic in reply to who's the bigger club. Obviously Bournemouth have completely gone into opposite directions to Latics in recent times, but who of my generation would have had them down as bigger then us. Just shows with the right management and no little money invested what could have been from 1992 onwards. Just look at the Bournemouth training academy now!!

EDIT: I thought I had attached the picture, nevermind Friend is a lifelong Bournemouth fan. Went with him to watch a relegation battle at Chester in 2009 (I think) which Chester lost and were then relegated. We were a comfortable mid table Lge1 side then. Aah the contrast in fortunes.

Our successful period was just before the madness of the Russian Oligarchs and dodgy human rights abusing regimes buying football teams.
