Game watched: AFC Bournemouth 4-0 Swansea City

This is one of these modern new stadia that works.  Unlike some of the flat pack versions, Bournemouth have made it have a really good feel.  The small detail counts and with the images of their rise to the PL embrazened in the stands it has a warm feels alround.

We sat with the Swansea fans, the view was perfect, there was one stand with a couple of pillars which may be part of future developments.  Capacity wise, AFCB fill the stadium on most weeks but aren;t wanting to rush into any expansion which is very sensible.  The site also appears to house their traning facilities as well.

Location was simple enough for getting away and close to Boscombe which is a traditional seaside resort.  The walk to the beech was 20 minutes and there was plenty of parking options.

The atmosphere was excellent from both sides.
