We will be regaled by mass chanting of "Scummers" by our neighbours from across the Forest this afternoon, but we don't seem to care about them as much as they care about us.
We don't have a nickname for them as we do our Skate friends towards the East, this must rankle to average Bournemouth fan, in their average 7 years of supporting the club, it must upset them that as an established Premier League club, that they don't have a true local rival apart from perhaps Weymouth.
So should we join in with their little game and find a disparaging nickname for them, if so what should it be.
Should it be an obvious but fairly friendly one such as "Deck chair attendants" or should it be a llittle more vicious.
Truth is I can't think of much about Bournemouth that distinguishes it as a town or a football team or for that matter a supporter group. |  |

True enough.
Half and half scarves were the big thing there a few years ago.
A lot of West Ham sympathisers there as well. | |

Scousers. |
You might not want to hear this, but in the 1920's when some of the Shipping Lines moved their bases from Liverpool to Southampton, there was a mass exodus to the South Coast from Merseyside of both the shoreside staff and those who went to sea.
Southampton went from being a small town in 1910 with a population of around 105,000, to a major port in 1930 with a population of 130,000 and rising as more shipping companies mostly Liverpool based moved to the port with the opening of the Western Docks, by the start of the 2nd world war it was around 145,000.
So a very large population of this city come from Liverpool roots, it could be said that this city was built on the influx of Scousers.
Bournemouth saw a small exodus in the early 1980's from Liverpool, so it is easier to see these days as many of those who stayed are still alive. | |

For similar reasons, many of us have Geordie roots from the mass migration of dock workers from Newcastle during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
A good name for Bournemouth fans would be the one we've always used, "Bournemouth fans." The artificial use of Skates has never sat well with me. It was a term commonly used in Portsmouth to describe Royal Navy sailors. Scummer has some history. It was, according to the Oxford Dictionary, first recorded in writing in 1585, and was the nickname for a pirate or buccaneer, so Poole Pirates means the same as Poole Scummers. But, it wasn't used at all to describe football fans when I started going in the 1960s.
The SCUM dock strike myth was quite recent. It started with a spoof comic story in a Pompey Fanzine, Frattonize, in the 1990s, in which Southampton Corporation Union Men broke a strike by Portsmouth Fish Company workers. Nowadays, you have Pompey fans claiming their grandfathers knew about this mythical strike.
The first fans I heard to regularly describe other fans as Scum were Millwall in the 1970s, although there was a terrace chant used by Saints fans as well, which went "We are the people; they are the scum." It came from Borstal slang. Pompey fans who came to a Saints v Millwall game at the Dell in 1977, to support Millwall, after their own game was cancelled, heard them using it and copied it from them. I was in the Fratton End with Dougal's mob at our derby game in 1966, singing and wearing our red and white scarves, and never heard the words scum or scummer used once, because it wasn't a nickname back then.
The origin of Pompey is very clear. It comes from Portmouth's original colours, which were Pompadour pink. But, of course, Pompey fans have since tried to obscure that and claim all sorts of mythical origins, such as heroic sailors from Portsmouth climbing Pompey's Pillar in Egypt, which is, of course, total bullsh!t.

I remember the buckets being shaken for cash a few back at the dell to help save Bournemouth fc from disappearing completely, I doubt any of their fans remember that, but I gave a few quid to help as I think of them as the small club from down the road.
For now they are doing better than us, and good luck to them, but it will end soon, it always does. Bournemouth is not a derby, just like Newcastle isn’t, they are both just clubs in the same league. This derby stuff is all made up by sky to make the football more exciting to the sofa brigade.
We only have one derby match and they the skates. If we lose to Bournemouth I don’t really care, lose to the skates and that’s a whole different matter.
So in answer to the thread, they don’t need a nickname, just call them Bournemouth. |  | | |

For many years Bournemouth were the second team for most Saints fans, although now that Bournemouth have become more successful and their fans more antagonistic towards us, Eastleigh seem to have taken over that role. It's still hard to build up a real dislike for Bournemouth though. | |

I have a family member from Wareham who for the past 6-7 years switches allegiances between United and Bournemouth depending on how they are doing. He’s much Bournemouth at the moment.
Fair dos to them though, they are doing incredibly well. | | | |

Fair play to them.
A well run club hampered by a shithole of a stadium.
If they get European football I hope they enjoy the moment as we did when we had a good owner, good manager and a good team.
Their rise to the top 7 from the bottom is remarkable.
But
They haven’t got a pub at their ground have they!?

Just totally ignore them. I dislike them as a generalisation due to their arrogance thinking that we are major rivals when really we just don't care about them
As Dirk (I think) said, a lot of Saints fans used to think of them as their 2nd club, and yes, liked seeing them do well. But how many of their current regular fans even knew where Dean Court was 10-15 years ago
There is only one derby on the south coast and we all know what that one is. Doesn't matter that we rarely play them due to their lowly position, but wait til next season, that's gonna be horrendous. Then B/mouth fans will see what a derby is like! |  | | |

I think nobody really cares if they lose to Bournemouth as the like to see a smaller club ruffle a few feathers of the elite owners that have ruined modern football. Good luck to them. Enjoy it as we all know too well where it ends. As for a nickname doubt it. I wish them well even though they appear to dislike us. All we ask today is have a go and if not good enough we can accept that but go down fighting like .. | | | |

Pompey fans reckon that back in the day Shoemakers from Northamptonshire undercut footwear products made in the Royal Navy Yard in Pompey.
The errant shoemakers were represented by the Consolidated Union of Northamptonshire
Tanners and Shoemakers hence the acronym given to Northampton Town supporters | | | |

No, it's a fact.
Pompey refers to their traditonal colours, which were pink, also known in Victorian times as pompadour. Another example of this was a regiment based in barracks in Portsmouth during the 1860s, the 56th West Essex Regiment of Foot, who had a pink uniform, the same colour as the first PFC shirts, and so were first nicknamed the Pompadours which then became abbreviated to Pompeys.
Football club nicknames in that era commonly referred to team colours, like the Clarets, the Lillywhites, Sky Blues etc.
When the orginal PFC went bust in 1911, the new club that replaced them, adopted a new blue strip to show they weren't connected to the orginal club with its Pompadour Pink strip (and its debts). But, the Pompey nickname carried over. They were also known as the Shrimps but that name didn't carry over.
