Feel good factor must return to Vitality stadium

The build up to the Aston Villa match was always going to be special. The Cherries need that buzz of excitement and carnival enthusiasm from the home crowd to get the players striving to play the Villa off of the park. The Cherries are in the Premier League now and we need a Premiere crowd that gets the team going and creates an atmosphere that is unequalled if AFCB are going to cause some upsets.

Dean Court has to be vibrant and full of noise to help the Cherries.

So when you come to the ground on Saturday, don't leave your voice at home. We need every decibel to ring out and encourage the lads and make it as intimidating an atmosphere as we can for the opposition. The club has been down in the depths, raised itself through the leagues and won its place in the top tier through skill and endeavour and the fans have to bring their A game as well as the players now. This is no longer a sit on hands Saturday afternoon tea party - AFCB need you to help them be winners.

If we can get a positive start to the season, who knows where the team could finish. Let's build on the momentum of last season and greet the players with a tumultuous welcome. AFCB will be making history when they come out of that tunnel and on to the pitch. We'll never have seen anything like it. It's such a dream ticket to 38 games of sheer excitement and prestige. Now you have the opportunity to play your part and show how proud you are of the team and the town, don't let others do it for you. Pick up your old retro shirts and join in the celebration.

AFCB will be headline news and we can help makes those headlines by helping the team. I don't subscribe to the feeling that established teams in the Premier League are their to stay in that position forever. AFCB is a team that can start to bring about a new order, a new top table if you like, and if the team can build on some early victories and get some notable scalps, the job for the team and Eddie Howe will be made just that little bit easier. So come on let's help them get off to a terrific start - UTCIAD!

Meanwhile, the York Press reports that Stephane Zubar has signed on a month's loan to York City and he is in the squad to play Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday.
