2 down, 1 to go... Well done Bournemouth, been absolutely superb this season and absolutely deserve it. What a great story.
From the Guardian coverage - "90 mins: The camera pans across the crowd. It takes a particular kind of person to remain seated and silent when your team’s being promoted to the top flight for the first time ever and the rest of the ground is on their feet, but there are a few." Get used to it, Bournemouth!
It will be interesting down here now that Bournemouth have all but gone up. Southampton and Bournemouth don't have a real rivalry, not like with Pompey. But with only the promise of an increase to 18k will there be enough seats to go round?
I hope they take on the Prem in the same way they got promoted, they play a really entertaining brand of football that is worth watching any day of the week.
Good article about Bournemouth rise on the BBC website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32315677
@ASFCofficial Bournemouth celebrating like they've completely ruled out a 19-0 defeat at The Valley on Saturday. We'll see... #cafc
Yeah, couldn't possibly survive with a boring name like AFC. They need a more innovative Chairman. Must admit when they were doing all the stories about Bournemouth fans who have followed them for years, and what a great moment it was for them, it reminded me of our play off day. And also reminded me that, to quote Steely Dan, the things we football fans think are precious, the Allams just don't understand.
They've scored a far few decent goals this season - like above i hope they take this brand of football to the top table but we all know it'll be 451 after back to back defeats in October
