A trip to the coast was in order for our first Championship game of the season. A great opportunity to tie in a cheeky weekend away by booking a hotel room for the night! I decided it would be a good game to watch as both Bournemouth and Blackburn were mid table so would be keen to get the points. We travelled down on Saturday morning and checked into the Heathlands Hotel for 2pm. Leaving my lovely girlfriend Mel with a bad back in the hotel room (bless her) I drove a couple of miles down the road to check out the Goldsands Stadium (Dean Court).
For the first time this season I was to meet someone who had registered with me and not be alone! Natalie had expressed her interest in attending the match to add the Goldsands to her own Full 92! We met outside the ground, purchased our tickets and in we went. The Ted Macdougal stand is the home end and we sat in there fairly close to the travelling Blackburn fans. This was pretty good as it created some atmosphere. Lots of banter between the fans always makes for an entertaining game I think. Lots of "Who are yaaa??"
