EXCLUSIVE: Plans for Vitality Stadium will see thousands of seats added next summer ready for the 26/27 season, including replacing the south stand with a ‘modular’ stand built elsewhere and ‘snapped’ together. Details on that and more here:. #afcb .

🍒 The Cherries are frustrated at negotiations with PSG over a move for Illia Zabarnyi. Price has to be right for #afcb to sell, and there are other Premier League clubs ready with concrete interest should the PSG deal fall through ⬇️.

🏴‍☠️ A win on the night for @poolespeedway but perhaps not by the margin they would have liked ahead of the trip to Plymouth at the weekend. Richard Lawson imperious again as Dan Thompson and Scott Nicholls impress for the Gladiators. My report ⬇️.

The Pirates defeated Plymouth Gladiators by six points to stay at the top of the Championship table with two meetings for Poole remaining.

Cherries have announced that Steve Cuss has stepped down from his role as manager of the #afcb women’s team. He presided over a historic period as the side reached tier three under his leadership. He will continue in his head of community role.

Think #afcb looked pretty good despite the result. The press was better in the final third. I think Iraola will take positives from the game. Still lots of work to do, including becoming more clinical up front, a familiar story from last season. One game to go before Liverpool.

An encouraging half aside from the scoreline. Really should be in front but missed two great chances through Evanilson and Zabarnyi. Need to become more efficient with all the possession - but starting to look more like the side and levels from last season. #afcb.

Good to see Scott back and Adams in from the start. Zabarnyi starts again, and more minutes for Traoré - could he be working his way into Iraola’s plans for this season…. Either way, AI will be looking for an improvement from the team from midweek. #afcb.

A disappointing performance all in all from #afcb, looked second best for much of the 90 minutes in Chicago. A lot of work to be done for the weekend. Did think Adu-Adjei looked bright and Brooks’ assist was lovely late on.

Dango Ouattara the biggest positive in what was a largely poor half from #afcb. Two poor goals to concede. Work to do in the second half.

Told Alex Scott’s absence from the squad tonight is nothing major and he should be back involved at the weekend. #afcb.

Also potentially a back five with the centre backs of Hill, Senesi and Zaba - although guess Hill could be stepping into midfield alongside Tav? . #afcb.

Will be a good run out for Araujo and Soler at right and left back - opportunity for the Mexican in particular to stake his claim to be first choice. Tyler Adams back into the squad on the bench - and Billing captains the side!. Zabarnyi starts, too. #afcb.

🏴‍☠️ A big one tonight at Wimborne Road as Oxford visit @poolespeedway. A repeat of the Grand Final last season - and Pirates will be hoping for a repeat of that performance rather than the BSN home meeting earlier this season. Tapes up at 7.30pm.
