So far so good

I’ve been supporting Bournemouth since I was about 10 years old but have only watched us play twice as I live a fair few hours away in south west wales (once being in Swansea).

I’m going to uni in September close ish to Bournemouth and I’m wanting to finally be able to support my team in person. But how likely is it that I will actually get a ticket to home or away games, especially now that we’re in Europe, as a fan that has only one home point and no away points? Would possibly the upcoming stadium expansion add to my slim chances?

Is there any chance Andoni can stay?

With us sealing Europe for the first time ever, it has got me thinking about the crazy rise we've been on over the past 20 years or so. What are some matches that stick out in your mind cause you were there, or famous wins we have had, or games we lost that were heart breakers from any year you've been supporting?

For me, Grimsby sticks out first and foremost for obvious reasons, as Fletch saved the club from administration and extinction.

I remember Eddie's first game back vs Tranmere who we smashed 3-1 with a Franno screamer. They were top of League 1 at the time too. After the dark days of Bradbury and Groves you just felt a big atmosphere shift around the club, and the ground that day.

That season I also remember Doncaster pulling off a smash and grab vs us as I felt we'd blown promotion to the Championship to one of our biggest promotion rivals. In the end, we both went up that year, and smashing them at home the season after in the Championship was very satisfying as we never looked back since.

Thank you ❤️

I’ve been dreaming of this moment since I started following the club when I was 13 (I’m 21 now) and it feels really amazing that we actually did it. After everything we went through over the years, it makes this historic moment feel extra amazing.

I can finally put my passport into use (I had it renewed last May so it has 9 years left on it.) and see the club I supported since the start of my teenage years play continental football for the first time ever.

3 fixtures every cherries fan must watch this weekend:

Liverpool vs Brentford - Liverpool at home last game for Mo Salah to walk out at the Kop, injured or not it's a big occasion for him and the team.

Man City vs Aston Villa - Guardiola's last game ever for City at home at the Etihad, Villa resting their team for the europa league final. City will win it.

Notts Forest vs Bournemouth - Must not lose match for us. A draw will do no matter what.

Here's the situation: If Liverpool win and Villa lose, Liverpool will jump Villa on GD into 4th, so Villa will finish 5th. The premier league got an extra champions league spot this year, and it will be passed down to 6th place, if Villa win the europa league final.

I know I'm hoping, but it's very feasible from here.

Going from away days to Accrington Stanley and a FA cup draw with Burnley to playing European football next season.

I love this club. I can’t believe this “tinpot” 11k stadium team is going to Europe.
