I have been a cherries supporter for over 60 years with my friends and over the years I have seen some great games.
Saw the great FA cup run and later Ted mcdougal's goals ,been to some great matches and as I grow older and my friends grew older we still went to all the games we could home and away had concrete checked at us at Swindon, stood in the snow at Dartford drove up to Bath to see us play bristol rovers on Boxing day to find every pub closed .
Back in the 1960s had players teach sports at school but as we all became older we still followed the cherries and paid for match ball, player and match sponsorship when the club could find nobody else bought share which we all knew where worthless but still supported the cherries
.Yet as soon as the team where promoted not one of us saw one match live at Dean court but now all of us older and not that fit we follow our home team and will till we snuff it although a few have .
The passion seems to have gone out of the game for playing for the club remember the Millwall game in the cup head leg arm and back injuries but the team throw everything at that game.
.Now Days it all about tactics and rotation in the past we could barely put a team out but still survived
.Eddie is one of the if not the best manager we have had it is some of the players who have let him down
Here's hoping we manage to survive, but if not clear out and start again..After all we have nothing to show from five years in the Pl we just the same as when we we survived from going out of the league no ground to call ours no training base just a lot of rich agents and players.
Although we do have four sides now to the ground
