'History: 2009- Demoted to the UniBond League Premier Division for failing to undertake ground grading work in time to comply with league rules. Floodlights upgraded to Football League standard. High Court winding up order imposed on the club over an unpaid £77,000 tax bill to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.'
So even when demoted they upgraded their floodlights to FL standard? Asking for it I fancy.

Fans are apparently applying to join the Allied Counties league (or similar) for next season.

Keep up DelBoy. That's why the question "Which English professional team comes first alphabetically?" fooled many people.

Officially the club is called Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic Football Club and AFC Bournemouth is a trade name.
