This week, local residents were invited to find out about Cherries' planned redevelopment of Vitality Stadium - where there will be an upgrade from 11,300 to 20,200 seats. The presentation from the club included senior figures from AFC Bournemouth, as well as personnel connected with the proposed development - who were on hand to answer questions about what is planned, how long it will take, as well as providing a bit of background about the logistics of the move.

Sam and Tom are at the Queens Park to provide some reaction after a positive night which was a key first step ahead of what will be a busy few years at Dean Court.

With another season ahead of us, we wanted to update you about the future of Back of the Net and how you can help us as we navigate the 2025/26 season! Also, we'll go over the latest news and events emanating out of Dean Court, including Semenyo's contract extension, Alex Scott winning the U21 Euro's, and Bournemouth's pre-season friendlies.

Plus, whilst Adrien Truffert is through the door at Dean Court, nervous Cherries fans will be hopeful of further incomings over the forthcoming fortnight, because, other than the Frenchman's arrival, it has been pretty quiet at AFC Bournemouth over the last week.

Indeed, a cursory glance at the squad indicates that we probably have a lot of work to do! So with our first pre-season friendly in just NINE days time, we’re expecting the transfer cogs to start turning again soon. AS such, there are TEN new rumours to mull over...

With rumours continuing to surface regarding another potential Bournemouth departure in Illia Zabarnyi, Sky Sports' Mark McAdam joins Sam and Tom at the New Forest Pantry in Ringwood to mull over the latest goings on at Dean Court...

We discuss the prolonged Milos Kerkez deal, the conjecture about Zabs's potential move to PSG, and the concern at having to replace 4 of our 5 back-line - plus we ponder whether Andoni Iraola has the hunger to continually oversee these season-on-season transitions.

After a record-breaking season for Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth, the brutal reality of being a small fish in a big pond is now being laid bare with the departures of some key Cherries' figureheads.

Whilst it is public knowledge that Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Kepa will not be at Vitality Stadium next season, rumour has it that Illia Zabarnyi could follow...

It's a bittersweet situation - Bournemouth, as a club, is in its best ever moment, but the startling truth is that this success only serves to become the catalyst for a frustrating reality - the constant drain of top talent.

While it's a testament to the club's excellent management and player development, it also necessitates a constant state of transition - meaning that Bill Foley's "always advance" mantra will be tested to the limit.

Sam and Tom discuss the latest developments and ponder an uncertain but exciting future at AFC Bournemouth.

If soundbites are to be believed, AFC Bournemouth could be in for a BIG summer. With Dean Huijsen already gone and Milos Kerkez seemingly next to depart, fans are now starting to ponder what life could be like next season for Andoni Iraola's Cherrries.

With rumours also circling about the future of other stars such as Illia Zabarnyi, Antoine Semenyo and Marcus Tavernier, Sam and Tom get together to have a candid look at the current squad, perhaps facing the difficult reality that some Bournemouth stars may need to depart Dean Court to enhance our squad for next season's campaign.

Bournemouth's faint hopes of Europe officially ended on Tuesday night as Manchester City did a job on Iraola's men in a more than convincing 3-1 win at the Etihad. Although Cherries fans are disappointed finishing outside the qualification spot, the end-of-season showdown against Leicester is still a crucial one - with £9m on the line!

The merit money difference between coming 9th and 12th is over £9m, and whilst it does depend on other results going our way, the opportunity to finish in a record equalling ninth place is more than mouthwatering.

Sam and Tom are the Queens Park Hotel to mull over the final game of the season, where Boscombe fans will be saying goodbye to our Spanish superstar Dean Huijsen, whilst although wary that we may be seeing the last of a few other Cherries stars.
