...which makes it five home games in January...

Bournemouth reserves at home.....I can hardly contain my excitement at the prospect

Don't expect us to play a full strength team either

[Steve Russell]

Hopefully we will field a strong side & that there will be a decent
crowd.

With the Club losing so much money every month, oh for a Cup run!

Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic, who changed their name to AFC Bournemouth, in attempt
to be 1st ranked team, alphabetically - fact.

Steve R. We will go with the flow as per all Premiership and Championship teams in the 3rd
round of this years FA Cup and field 2nd string teams. This has been happening for the last 20
years and it won't change now.

Only the bottom two divisions and non league sides will treat it seriously and play maximum strength
teams and give the fading event some respect.

Half price tickets At LR? Likely. A crowd less than 10,000? more than likely . That sums it up I reckon.

The sad decline of a once-great competition.
