One of the three new teams to join the premier league from lower divisions, Bournemouth is a storied team going from rags to riches. Only a few years ago the team was on the brink of being shut down but they have since fought all the way back and made a Premier League debut. There are three reasons why I will be cheering for the Cherries this season.
- The first is that their stadium is one of the loudest and yet only seats 12 thousand. Bournemouth's Goldsands Stadium, traditionally known as Dean Court, has plans to expand their seating to 18,000.
- The second reason why is because of their manager, Eddie Howe. Howe played for the Cherries as a defender and retired in 2007 when previous knee injuries began to take their toll on him. He was selected to manage the Cherries, and has since helped them reach the Premier League.
- The third reason why I want to support the cherries is that their mascot is the lovable Cherry Bear! Who wouldn’t love this awesome mascot?
Cherry Bear is also pretty skilled as well, able to fool children with cheeky behind the back passes as showcased in the video below.
Lastly here is a highlight video the Cherries made upon making it into the top flight of English football.
If you have another reason to support the Cherries, or think there is a better mascot in the Premier League let us know in the comments!
Finally here is a quick gif of the Cherries scoring an amazing goal that helped them break out into the Premier League:
