- 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.

Fulham fan here. Always good to see the real clubs making progress. Exciting times. Up the Cherries.
First of all, thanks for spanking United. Secondly, congrats on the new stadium. Hopefully, Bournemouth can be a mainstay in the PL.
No one is interested in man cheaty
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…
And thirdly it’s going to be called The Capacity Stadium and its capacity will be 18,000.
Congrats, great club and fans, Cherries on the move
and everton go down
@danielc295 and your a nonce 👍 😂
@@Thomasccanada
Go down on your ma more like
@@Thomasccanada you were saying?
This is simply the best news ever for this club. Legacy and a ground we own for the next generation of Cherries fans I'm so happy for every🍒 fan right now .
Your happy with only 7 thousand more seats?
What your next 5 fans. Portsmouth till I die
Good for AFC Bournemouth ..truly deserve it
Great summary from both of you, many thanks. I've never known such exciting times on and off the pitch. I'm hoping to stay fit & healthy until at least 2027 when I'll be 80 so I can visit the proposed new stadium and celebrate 72 years of supporting this wonderful club. Thanks again. Obviously hoping for a win against Luton, not going to be easy but I think we'll get 3 points. UTC🍒🍒🍒
This is great news starting at wright size as well.BiLL Foley is doing what he said would do and not hanging around.I never thought I would would see in my life time of over sixty years.Up the cherries 🍒🍒🍒👍
Everton fan here,good luck with the move.Be careful not to overspend on it otherwise you’ll be docked 10 points 😂
Getting that 10 point deduction really got them motivated. Congrats!
Started watching your podcast last season when you played villa. Proper club with the most level headed fans in the league. Good luck with the stadium and for the rest of the season. Also you should beaten us (villa) a couple of weeks ago.👍
Good luck Bournemouth hope the build goes well from a liverpool fan
Great we are staying in Kings Park I will always call it Dean Court cheers for the update/ discussion Sam and Tom UTCIAD 🍒🍒🍒🍒
Yes Dean Court . In a country which prides itself on heritage & history I ( & I’m not very conservative but ) find it astonishing & pretty disgusting how some clubs dump an identification of over 100 years in ten minutes to appease a sponsor whom can be as suspect or volatile as anything. 👍
This is really good news. Like that the capacity can be upgraded. UTCIAD 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations, Cherries!
From another small ground club (Luton) who are also getting a decent sized new ground in the next couple of years.
18k isn't decent considering we have 21k at Fratton in league one. Premier league clubs should have 25k and over
Anyway see you next year Luton😉 PUP🇬🇧
@@user-wb1ib3qy8lAs the fella in the video said, better to have a full 19,000 ish stadium than a big stadium with thousands of empty seats most weeks, like MK Dons
Good for you, have many good memories of Dean Court as Pompey fan
First time in a while I've felt really really good about the future, up the chez! 🍒
Absolutely amazing news cherries. Good luck for future. Also just like to say I love this channel 👍 from a Everton fan.
Great news Sam. Onwards and upwards 🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒
Thanks guys look forward to this
Great news for the Cherries from an Everton fan 👍
Great news all around hopefully it will be named Dean Court
WOHOOOOO! Eventhough I will miss Vitality Stadium but still looking forward to the new stadium, this one for the better future of AFC Bournemouth!
wishing everything went well!
Best Regards from Indonesia! #UTCIAD ❤🍒🖤
( Everton fan ) Good news for The Cherries! well established and run club that deserve a bigger ground.
Looking positive for AFC. B, fair play! I like your new playing style, good times are here. 😊
Sounds like your owner has real ambitions. Great for the club.
How times change, I first went to watch the Cherries in the 50’s along with my father & grandfather, it’s always been a small ground but boy were there some memorable results, not least in 1957 when in the FA Cup they beat the top 2 clubs of day, Wolves & Spurs, before losing to Man U. Fingers crossed a new stadium will bring further success
Only just seen this but saw you mention Lutons stadium. We are starting ours at 23k capacity. Love the channel lads keep it up 🫡
I can remember cutting across the golf course in the 40’s to watch Bournemouth play in the 3rd Div with players like Percival and the blonde winger McKenzie both Scot’s Percival son Dennis was my friend and we spent many a time at Dean Court
Exciting times for the club!
Great news... Europe here come. Ideal size to start with and comparable with Brentford. Can expand to 22K
I think 18K is fair especially with the ability to upgrade. Have to be careful about trying to do too much, too soon.
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.
@@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
@@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.
Congrats from Tottenham!
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.
Tottenham Fan Here. However, The Cockerel Kinda Gives it Away... lol.🤣 You Guys Have Seen Me In Here Before And I've Always Been Complimentary Of The Cherries. Love Your Football And I Love The Family Feel Of The Club. With Regards To The Proposed New Stadium, I'm a Little Disappointed It's Maximum Capacity Is Going To Be Limited To 22,000. Personally, I Think a 30,000 Stadium Would Be a Better Fit And I've No Doubt You'd Fill It. The New Training Ground Is Looking Rather Good Too. Your Owner Is Definitely Taking You In The Right Direction And Will Be Giving You a Bigger Footprint On The World Stage. You Have My Very Best Wishes For The Future. COYS. 🙂
I went to the golden knights stadium, which is incredible and an amazing design, I’d love the new court to look like that, however, there wasn’t a single bmof thing in the store.
They have Bournemouth stuff in their training center
Really pleased for you, new stadium bounce will be unreal. Also has to be said I love your channel, two extremely knowledgeable lads who talk a lot of sense about footy
Brilliant news
No Mickey taking here or forcing an agenda to talk about my club from an Evertonian, good luck with the evolution plans. Exciting times with the new training complex, it looks fantastic.
One difference it looked like we was fighting relegation in January with lermar but if we keep the run going especially against a lot of lower sides we got next then we will be fighting for European football
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.
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.
@@afcbpodcast Relocating the Athletics stadium to the AFCB ground wouild be fantastic.
The Athletics stadium is used by the whole community and so has to be at the top table of the discussions
everton fan here, always want to see other clubs getting better stadiums
Vitesse in the Netherlands are keen on a new owner i am sure he could buy them on the cheap
In my view, AFC Bournemouth need new 25k seaters stadium to complete in Premiership.
Well done exciting times..hope one day qpr can follow suit
Oh QPR. I may not support them but I live in London. They really need the support, my suggestion to them is to keep fighting for the new stadium next to the HS2 station. Freeing Loftus Road for houses for the community.
Bornmouth for top 10, well done for utd win... Up the mighty Villa!!!
I❤ afcb I once met you
Do you think bill is playing hard ball with ground owners so he can buy at a price so he can rebuild /expand
If the Premier League would simply sanction the selling of TV subscriptions to individual clubs then bigger, more environmentally intrusive stadiums would be unnecessary. Dean Court has a wonderful atmosphere and is loved by everyone. One day in the future, all games will be able to be viewed legally on telly in the UK.
The most important thing for Bill Foley to accomplish is to convince Andoni to sign a new 5 year contract extension because with the success he will undoubtedly have the big boys of europe will be wanting him sooner rather than later. With that taken care of, the other parts of the long term plan will falll into place.
What other similar size stadium would you like it to look like? Loftus Road?
Bit behind the times here maybe, but does the club own the stadium now? Structadene were always seen as a hurdle to any stadium improvements /move.
nope
Don’t worry Luton are getting their fair share of it this season about their stadium. 😂😂😂
New stadium looks amazing guys. I hope we get ours before you though. 😂😂
Big game today. Hopefully we can get something. COYH
When Bill Foley has a 5 year plan that is a good thing. He had a five year plan for the Las Vegas Golden Knights of the NHL ice hockey to win a championship and they did.
You can't blame other clubs for laughing at your attendances, even Wrexham in Div. 4 get better crowds than Bournemouth. On the other hand getting yourself a new stadium is the best thing that can ever happen to a football club, it was certainly the best thing that happened at my club Cardiff City, we are a completely different club since then, so good luck with that.
Are we moving to Las Vegas mate? 😂 UTCIAD
Personally think 18k isn’t big enough once you take into account the numbers for hospitality which we know foley take seriously from the loss of the bar this season and the new Kings Plaza.
I wouldn’t be surprised that 4/5k will be ere-marked for hospitality
Personally I think 20k would be better.
Everton new stadium is 53000 capacity , not 60000 although room for expansion
Everton stadium as already been built to hold 62k it’s gonna be 53k for now until legislation changes no expansion will be needed it will be as simple as altering current seating to accommodate the new change
No no no fellas. Far too small. The population of Bournemouth is 50,000 more than Middlesbrough,at around 190,000.Yet their Riverside stadium is 30,000 plus. I could understand a limitation if the site had only one entrance and exit point but i really feel the potential catchment from the dorset area warrants something far bigger than 18,000
what would happen to the old ground ????
Women’s team will use it
Against villa about seating people can't afford the ticket prices when there are more important things to but then a football ticket maybe do the what was it 3 or 4 k which wasn't taken for hospitality why not sell those tickets for what every that person or people can afford buy saying how much u got and sell them gor a pound to 100k etc
why put up the thumbnail them if its not the stadium lol
This is great news but I worry what will happen should Bill depart the scene. He is not a spring chicken. Has he a son to take over the mantle?
Foley's son Robert is Foley Family Wines' chief strategy officer and is involved in managing vineyard assets for Foley Family Farms, as well as serving as chief business officer for the Vegas Golden Knights
He has a son who works in the business I believe
The Beachhouse 🏟
To succeed in ffp,n compete in Premier League you need 30k stadium
So plesaed that L1 fans are subscribed to BOTN ;)
I'd take Solanke to Villa, good player.
Coolio YNWA
Your only big in Vegas because the club jumped on Wrexham's success. Wrexham are still more popular in America. They have something even Manchester United or any other football club. They have an official sports bar in Times square New York and it is very popular.
U-knight the Realm with Cherries
So it won't be bigger than Notts County's Meadow Lane. Doesn't show much ambition, does it?
It’s a mixture of spending within our means and not “doing an Everton” combined with an understanding of our demographic and our current demand. To us, it seems sensible.
Fantastic news! Up the Chez!
Trouble is, they may get a brand new stadium, but where are the brand new fans to fill it going to come from? Let's face it, most residents of Bournemouth don't give a shit about football.
Hope Dean Court does not become the parking lot
Well it will not stay as a football ground and I suggest that the new Stadium will occupy some of the BCP Car Park. The athetics track will have to stay, as it is very heavily used
I feel awful saying this, and yes I’m just jealous of the success AFC Bournemouth are having. But what are the plans for the new stadium? To build a bigger away end? 😂 sorry.
As a Brighton fan congratulations on the new stadium, but don't make the same mistake we have. We have real problems in expanding the Amex at just over 32000 the ground is just not big enough now never mind moving forward. We sell out over 99 percent of the time and the fan base grows not year by year but month by month. I live in Thailand and they sell Brighton kits on the streets of Bangkok! We are now in an European quarter final and at the moment the sky is the limit apart from the ground capacity which will hold us back in the future
Legit were Pompey fans in 2008 grow up
What's the reason for not being able to expand? Is it the design? Or environmental reasons etc?
Enjoy the ride while you can !!
@@afcbpodcast A bit of both I think.
Sorry but 22k if that's the max isn't enough for me around 20k is good to start as long as we are in the prem so see at the end of this season
How big do you want?. We do not 100% sell out at the moment
A new generation of fans will come as our older fans no longer attend, plus initially 7K more seats
@@ianthomson6554 Every game has sold out for years.
Luton are historically a much bigger club than Bournemouth
Hang on a minute! Does this mean we’re not “ little old Bournemouth “ any more?
Big New Boscombe. 😁👍
sorry friend you will always be a little club as will brentford and luton, if you dont have a ground capacity of 40,000 plus you will never be able buy and pay the players you need
Still Tinpot. Pup
@@tonyh5484 I appreciate that Tony & many of us with decades of support are more than happy with the current standard of players & will tolerate mid premier league table obscurity like southampton managed for decades . I’m proud to be unambitious or realistic cos it’s still a miracle to me how B’mouth even made The Championship. Winning away at Ashton Gate , Reading or the County Ground used to be unthinkable 😁👍
@@user-wb1ib3qy8l I took the bait…Good result against Shrewsbury chap. I wanna see you Play Up , get promotion & help keep ‘the pride of the south’ nice & humbled . 😁👍
Won't fill out 20k. Just saying from a Pompey fan
One of the biggest conurbations in England with little competition anywhere near won't sell 20,000 tickets in the Premier League?
@@Captain-Cardboard Pompey sell out in league one every week, and look at your stats. You rarely sell out your shed as it is. Plus most in the area prefer Saints or Pompey even in league one.
@@user-wb1ib3qy8l Every single league match has sold out since 2015.
Probably best not to comment if you're not aware of the facts.
You won't sell out 20k though with Saints and Pompey up the road
Must more appealing having an actual south coast derby and passionate support backing too
20000 sounds better
You wouldn't fill it. Most people around here support Saints or Pompey
@@user-wb1ib3qy8l sounds tad negative to me. 20k capacity makes a statement and challenges the local community to support their team. YNWA
You’ll be in the Championship, on a downward spiral, within. 2 seasons.
It's called AMBITION people
Bring it on!!!!
NOT HAPPY WHY ONLY 18 THOUSAND!! bournemouth is hard to get home tickets I go to away games only this is awful news why not 25 to 30 like all other prem clubs 😢
Brentford Stadium is 17,250
Have you ever been to Cardiff City? They can’t fill their ground 33,000. Or Saints 32,000 often loads of empty seats. In the Championship we couldn’t give tickets away - it’s very difficult to get capacity right. I would have thought 20,000. Anyway brilliant news for the Club 🍒🍒
@ianthomson6554 brentford have Fulham, qpr and Chelsea within walking distance!
@@ianthomson6554 I went to a game at Brentford a couple of seasons ago, rate it as one of the best grounds I have visited, if Bournemouth can get anywhere near that ground in construction, style and atmosphere they will have a fantastic ground that their fans will love.
there are far bigger teams in league 1
Not right now their isn't 😂😂😂
I think you’ll find all the teams are the same size. 11 on the pitch. 😊
Yep Play up Pompey
Pub team with no fans ,youl be relegated before new stadium arrives 😂
Ok.
Just don't be the next everton 😂
increase to a new stadium 18,500 what the hell lol - im a saints fan i feel underwhelmed for you guys thats only slightly bigger than our old dell back in 2001 and st marys is 33,000 an average attendance is around 30,000 mark - surely you chairman is on drugs - bournemouth should have at least 30,000 - that announcement is very strange - hes obviously has not much money - yeah mr lumberjack said well we are a bigger club really need to stop drinking babyshams
FFP possibly a factor potentially, but listen, we know what our demographic and demand is here. Not going to do what my Mum did and buy ourselves a Year 11 uniform when we've only just started Year 7.
@@afcbpodcast ffp is not a problem for the cherries. i think the owners haven't taken into account the potential fan base as appose to what you have now , and building a stadium with 18,500 and currently at just over 11,000 so low too me sees a lack of ambition on a match experience seeing especially the millions they are spending on the training facility complex. as you know im a saints fan, you guys could easily get 30,000 on match day - bournemouth has a great pull and catchment area - it seems they want corporate people and boxes and not true fans on seats. st marys dosent have huge corporate but was more built in 2001 based on fans on seats. the world has changed but im sure you would get more than 18,500 - good luck for the rest of the season.
It doesn't though Dan, it's a tinpot club with no history compared to Southampton or Pompey
Another bland modern stadium.
This is great news but I worry what will happen should Bill depart the scene. He is not a spring chicken. Has he a son to take over the mantle?
