For years, Bournemouth have been the butt of many jokes with regards to the size of the Vitality Stadium, but in interviews today, owner Bill Foley has confirmed the approximate timescales for a NEW build, which would see an increased capacity, increased hospitality, and the possibility for expansion.
In this video, Sam and Tom discuss where it will be, when it will happen, whether the increase is enough, as well as the other talking points that emanates from his interviews on Talksport and BBC Sounds.

I’m old enough to remember Man City feat Colin Bell & Francis Lee along with a young Gary Flitcroft getting seriously bollocked by an ancient Peter Reid after a goal line mistake ( dunno why that stuck with me )& being B’mouth supporter meant always expecting to leave Bristol City , Reading , southampton, Brighton, even Swindon Town without a point andso it’s wonderful to now be hanging in there with teams & fans of successful clubs full of encouragement & goodwill ( maybe not all towards Old Trafford ) so Thankyou 😁👍ps still can’t win at Brighton…

Honestly I thought or expected they'd aim for 30k considering Bournemouth is a large urban area with a fairly large reach into the surroundings so the potential would be totally there. Now I'm absolutely not in the english football scene and don't know Bournemouths fanbase, but to me 30k really seemed feasible and easy to fill - most PL clubs have too small stadiums judging by the spectator stats. Every single one could fill a bigger stadium.

@daveseville7394 4 ай бұрын

@@avior2951 they'd kill atmosphere if it was anymore than 20k as a neutral. Look at Southampton when they moved to St Mary's, their atmosphere is dead as their ground is to big for them. If it was a 30k stadium and Bournemouth went down they wouldnt sell out in championship

@avior2951 3 ай бұрын

@@daveseville7394 Sorry for the late reply, that sounds really unfortunate for Southampton, and for me as a german also really unexpected, because the stadiums of that size usually have some of the best athmospheres as they're not too big for the acoustics to become bad and too many people not singing, nor too small for the ticket demand. Would it be problematic if they wouldn't sell out in the the Championship? I personally feel like thats ok as long as theyre not running half empty and still have enough reserve when there are special games going on, derbies and such.

Those available seats at the Villa game (or any other game) were either in the family zone (where unless you borrow someone's children you can't actually go there) or there are a handful of single seats spread in different corners of the ground which makes it difficult for fans go along with their mates. The "lack of demand" is a untrue, we would easily fill a 18.5k seater stadium, whether that's in the Prem or Championship.

Thanks for jumping on the VLOG so quickly. Sounds great. Couple of things immediately sprang to mind for me. What's happening with the athletics stadium? And what about planning permission? I assume based on previous comments that in order to get planning permission we need to provide a new athletics stadium. Not seen anything about this recently. And I imagine that the planning permission request will have to go in soon. I think starting work on it in 2025 sounds quite optimistic.

@afcbpodcast 5 ай бұрын

Good question. My assumption would be along the lines we'd probably knock down all but one stand of DC and then re-build the athletics track on the pitch, as I believe there is a stipulation that it must be relocated, and similarly, the land currently occupied by DC must be retained as open/sporting space, and cannot be built on by any developments etc - so this, to me, would make natural sense.
