AFC Bournemouth

[Lord Buckethead]

5 things about Bournemouth

1) AFC (Arthritic Football Club) Bournemouth got their nickname 'The Sherries' due to their predominantly elderly Tory-voting Sherry-sipping Support.

2) Harry Redknapp accidently invented Dogging whilst managing there, by parking in secluded Football Club car parks and asking passing football agents if they wanted to lob their wad through his open window.

3)

4) With Bournemouth essentially being just a Town-wide Retirement Home, the Football Club have had to have a special clause written into their contract with the Premier League which means that none of their games will ever clash with the Antiques Roadshow.

5) There are only 4 interesting things about Bournemouth.

Go!

The only city in England that doesn’t look like a city in England.

Except it isn't even a City.

In 2012 Bournemouth was unsuccessful in its bid for city status, losing out to Chelmsford in competition with 26 other towns to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee


Imagine losing ANYTHING to Chelmsford?

Bournemouth Seafront will have the 5 highest concentration of Sightseers in Deckchairs in the Country this year after Blackpool, Brighton, Margate and GOT (when @davek comes back and tears into Koeman).

For 37 quid you can ride up over 22 meters in a white, advert-emblazened, hot air balloon for 7 minutes; and from that lofty view you can see all the pasty-white pensioneers on the beach eating ice l0llies (or whatever you call them over there).

Lewis Tregonwell (who should have been shot at birth) invented the sport of ' shooting the serf' and formed a club to practice this in 1820, SS Bournemouth! As shooting poor rustic types for fun grew more frowned upon as the years went by, the Club was disbanded around 1897 and a new club was formed in 1899 AFC Bournemouth! Although the practice died out completely there are still a great many in and around Bournemouth who yearn for the good old days of shooting peasants with gay abandon ! End these Everton!
