    Bournemouth Heart Club and AFCB v Luton

    As promised a little heads up on tomorrow's game and Bournemouth Heart Club's involvement. Thanks to the fantastic efforts of the Cherries Trust, Talking Cherries and the club you'll be seeing and hearing quite a bit about a number of very special groups around the ground before the game, of...

    Our away support

    Absolutely brilliant - every single one of you. Just getting there for a start for a ludicrous kick off time, but fantastic backing for the team for the whole game - really loud and clear even when we weren't at our best. Safe travels home - you deserve that great away win feeling. :clap...

    Agent Rothwell

    We are now able to provide a progress report on Agent Rothwell. The gaining trust phase of his placement was recently completed. However, at no stage did “sumptuous volley” or “vital goals” feature in his briefing. We do now note that Agent Rothwell is setting about the most important part of...

    Non - Post-match interview gold

    How post-match interviews should be… language warning, but you can see it brewing. Pure gold. https://x.com/dorkingwdrs/status/1713235123011768678?s=46&t=1IIJmpGWwoccRdf7qqh94w

    Steve Thorpe RIP

    Steve was the safeguarding lead at the club for several years, he passed away recently aged 61 after an incredibly courageous battle with cancer. Huge thanks to all concerned at AFCB who, as part of a focus on safeguarding this week are marking Steve's life today. His family are guests of the...

    Brentford pubs

    Any recommendations? Used to love the Griffin but that’s 15 minutes now if it’s even still open.

    Thank you

    Firstly a big thank you to the wonderful stewards and medics at Dean Court yesterday. Too much to detail but if you're ever in need of their help they're amazing. Also thank you to anyone in the Great Escape who helped or offered help when a silly old bugger keeled over before the game. It turns...

    Brighton ticket needed

    Long story... cancelled holiday due to sick grandchildren, ticket pledged to exile... Happy to verify obviously.

    A City Perspective

    A special day for me yesterday as I brought along a friend for his first ever visit to DC. Yes he's a City fan but I hope I can be offered some dispensation since our friendship started in an ICU after heart surgery a few years ago, so, well... I'm sure you get it. I fully accept that watching...

    Fulham - a different perspective

    Stayed up for a long birthday weekend, Friday night show in town etc. Beautiful morning and a very pleasant waterside pint (red IPA, excellent) at the Rocket. Moved onto The Sixes in Fulham - cricket theme pub with two indoor cage nets, bowling machines and gizmos. Brilliant, thoroughly...

    Good Friday Parking

    Just the occasional reminder that the usual parking roads will (I assume) be subject to normal weekday restrictions and might be seen as an option for folks who might not use the car park due to the arrival of our travelling visitors. The parking wardens will doubtless be organising themselves...

    Goodbye Horse

    Seems worthy of a commemorative thread on Grand National day. If you're under about 50 you may not remember one of the great South End songs. Great lyrics!

    Non - Cladding Scandal - 2 minutes help

    I appreciate our compassion reserves are pretty depleted at the moment but this is a very quick and easy way to get a message to local MPs. Tomorrow MPs vote on the latest "response" and there are two vital amendments - one labour, one conservative - which would make a huge difference. If...

    The Athletic

    New subscription based football website launched today with quite a fanfare having hoovered up a lot of top quality UK journos. Origins in US. Alex Crook currently doing AFCB. https://theathletic.com/benefits/uk/?plan_id=79&pc=UKIntro50TB Looks different and worth a look but interested to...

    Train tickets for away games

    This would be really helpful... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/feb/25/plans-finally-in-motion-to-ease-train-pain-of-match-going-supporters-burnley-newcastle-bt-sport Obviously it wouldn't solve all the other issues with away games getting moved such as accommodation but it would be...

    Non - Wolves' dressing room

    In breaking news... Wolves have done out their dressing room. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45567456 For this to be considered newsworthy it really shows how they've become the media darlings. I was very disappointed Nick Knowles didn't show up and lead a tearful Nuno Espirito Santo out...

    FAO New York Cherries

    My son is working in New York this week and would be interested to know if there are any Cherries out there who meet up for matches. He's keen to catch the Everton game in good company so please let us know if there's anyone out there!! Failing that any tips for a "soccer" friendly sports bar...

    Back to the Future

    Fire up the DeLorean, buckle up and go back nine short years. Jimmy Quinn was about to be sacked on New Year's Eve and Eddie Howe was about to accept the most impossible of jobs... 31 years old, minus 17... you know the rest. To be fair you can go back to more or less whatever time you like in...
