Some random stats & facts about Bournemouth:

Bournemouth’s stadium is the smallest ground (11,300) in the PL but it once staged a remarkable friendly vs Real Madrid in 2013. In the 1960s, Bournemouth’s inside-forward Alan Hope legally changed his name to Alan O’Neill because he liked the American TV show The Aldrich Family. The club’s very first pro player earned 30 shillings (£1.50) a week.

That a club with an 11,000 seater home are competing with the best in England should be a massive source of pride

I love their stadium. So many people mock Bournemouth for having a tiny stadium, but for me it’s a symbol of how amazing their rise has been and how much they’ve overachieved
