The waiting is over. At last the NPower Championship League fixtures have been announced. Bournemouth will be playing Charlton Athletic at home in its first game of the 2013-14 season on 3rd August. Memories of two and three seasons ago, if I remember rightly, when we had Charlton away for the first games in League One.
The Christmas period will see the Cherries play Yeovil Town at home on 26 December and Brighton away on 1 January. These games are going to be hugely popular. It was Yeovil at home last Boxing Day as well!
Easter will also be a busy period with Sheffield Wednesday at home on Saturday 19 April and Ipswich away on Easter Monday 21 April 2014. The last home game is against Nottingham Forest on 26 April 2014.
The final match of the season for AFCB, on 3rd May 2014, will be against Millwall away. Let's all hope that we have something to celebrate then.
The full fixture list is on the Official AFC Bournemouth website.
Meanwhile, the Southern Daily Echo is reporting that Eddie Howe is looking to sign talented England U-20 midfielder James Ward-Prowse from Southampton FC on a season long loan.
This is a fan’s personal view of AFC Bournemouth from the outside looking in. It reports on the daily official activities reported by the club and comments made by individual fans on social media and fanbase websites. Life as an AFCB fan is never dull. As a life-long supporter of the Cherries, it is the friendliness of the staff, fans and my enthusiasm for the club that inspired me to write this blog.
August looks a good month. Shame QPR away is a Tuesday night. Won't be able to make that one.
