I see down here in Bournemouth too.

Back in the day, when people asked Cherry Berry what team she supported and she said Bournemouth, they'd answer, "Yeah but what team do you really support? I support Bournemouth and Man United." That meant that, at best, they'd look at the table at the end of the season to see where Bournemouth finished and, at worst, they had no idea what league Bournemouth were in.

Now, everyone in Bournemouth walks around with a Bournemouth shirt and Cherry Berry, one of the few who travelled to watch the team regularly when they were struggling at the bottom of league 2, can't get a ticket or a place on the season ticket waiting list because the club instead rewarded the fans who came regularly in the second half of their Championship promotion season.
