MY VISITS:
VISIT 1: AFC Bournemouth 3-3 Gillingham, 12/11/11.
FIRST VISIT TO BOURNEMOUTH:
AFC Bournemouth 3-3 Gillingham
Saturday 12th November 2011
FA Cup 1st Round
My only visit to Dean Court so far was back in 2011 in the FA Cup 1st Round. Gillingham at the time under boss Andy Hessenthaler (for the 2nd time) were coming off with 3 wins in 5 games, latest being a 4-3 home win against Northampton. Bournemouth at the time were playing in League One under boss Lee Bradbury, his first managerial job in football. Bournemouth were in pretty good form at the time, only 1 defeat in the League since the start of October. I was really looking forward to this one as it would be a new ground off the list. I'd been to Bournemouth the place many times for holidays when I was a little boy, so of course when Gillingham got drawn away to them in the FA Cup, I jumped at the chance. All I can really remember that day was getting the coach to the ground and meeting up with a couple of Bournemouth lads I was speaking to regularly on Facebook, Richard and Dan. Briefly spoke to them before the game (and in the replay back at Gillingham) and then went in the ground. A terrific result, I remember we were 3-1 down to come back to 3-3 in the last minute, so to take a higher opposition back to Priestfield was a good achievement. We then went onto beat Bournemouth in the replay and set up a tie with Leyton Orient. A good day in Bournemouth overall.
