It kicks off at '2:00pm bells on SUNDAY 26th August, which meeenz its impossible to get there on the day of the match and most probably impossible to get back yem after the match!
So a 2 NEETS expensive hotel stay looks like the unpreferred option!
And just to hoy a spanner into the works, there iz 'line work' between London and Bournemoooth on the day of the match, meeenin that a 'dreaded' 'replacement bus sorvice' will be in operation!
Last season wor game there kicked off at '5:30pm bells', which again made it impossible to dee it in one day!----So much for considerin' the travellin' fans!----One year on and---"Nowt haz changed!"----HAZ IT?
Wor Premyaa Leegue fixture changes for August and September are listed below!
AUGUST 2024
Saturday 17th @ '3:00 bells': The Simon Templar Mob of Sooothampton @ SJP (nee telly)
Sunday 25th @ '2:00 bells': Bournemoooth @ The Vitality Stadium (SKY)

I'm one of the very lucky ones!----Because of work commitments aa had to listen to the Ingland game on mee trucks radio at Redditch and on the M42 near Bormingham!---Those of yoo who watched must have been pullin yih hair oot!
The fact that Anthony Gordon woz anly given 4 minutes to prove himself at the end of the game iz criminal!----And then to send him for the interview afterwards to face the music and explain the shockin performance, iz even more criminal!
Soothgate woz pelted with plastic cups and bottles at the end of the game az he came ower to applaud the fans who hadnt pissed off by this time!
Onto the next stage on Sunday, where aa will be unlucky enough to watch on from a boozer somewhere in The Toon, az a'm off work that day! ("Dear gaffa---iz there any chance of a trip to Redditch on Sunday---like!")
