Description

AFC Bournemouth are an English football team currently playing in Football League One. The side plays at the Fitness First Stadium (Dean Court) in Kings Park, Bournemouth, Dorset. The club has existed since 1899. Its nickname is The Cherries. The team traditionally plays in red and black stripes but reverted to predominantly red for the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons before announcing a return to the stripes for the 2006-07 season due to fan demand.

The club was originally known as Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic, but adopted the AFC Bournemouth name in 1972. At the same time, it adopted the famous red and black striped shirt in imitation of the great Italian side AC Milan.

Due to significant debts the club is often forced to sell key players to raise cash; examples being Matt Holland, Carl Fletcher, Brian Stock, James O'Connor and more recently James Hayter.
