This Guide advised that away colours were not allowed inside the pub, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that this wasn't the case. You also go past a Tesco petrol station which is very useful if you need to top out on fuel and snacks.First trip to Bournemouth away with both clubs in the Premier. The home fans now sensing an opening day win found their voices. Weather notwithstanding, still a decent away day.After the match we were back in the car inside twenty minutes and home indoors by 7.30pm, journey time 2hours 5 mins. The match was not bad, but I think the whole crowd was relieved when there was no extra time. All of the stewards were welcoming, polite and friendly.My trip to Bournemouth was my first visit for nearly twenty years. All of whom I met were quite happy to have a 'selfie' taken with me. Bournemouth’s ground is well outside the town itself – some had opted to head for Bournemouth itself to sample a better range of pubs and get the train out to Pokesdown later, however I’d opted to go straight to Pokesdown rather than doubling back. The Club have identified a site quite close to the current ground in Kings Park in an area which includes an existing athletics stadium. A nice little ground to visit and not much in the way of traffic getting in and out of the ground. The performance of Crawley was the final nail in the coffin, but Bournemouth in their current form are a delight to watch. Neither side was great, but neither was bad, some statue defending by the Charlton defence gave Bournemouth the lead mid-way through the first half. After that I decided to go into the ground about half an hour early, and I got myself something to eat and drink before the game started. This made Bournemouth a veritable local derby. Friendly bar staff and felt safe all the time we were in there.Around a 10-15 minute walk away in nearby Boscombe is the Mello Mello Bar on Christchurch Road. He had two with his first wife: Mary Louise (1889–1976) and Arthur Alleyne Kingsley, known as Kingsley (1892–1918). was continuously sung by the away support. MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE VITALITY STADIUM, RAILWAY STATIONS & LISTED PUBS I went down by supporters coach. I can’t remember the name of the centre, but for anyone who is interested; come of the A388 at the Bournemouth hospital exit, go down to the huge set of lights by the hospital, turn right into posh housing estate and follow signs to leisure centre. You can all see a comprehensive list of all 1,008 cities and places in California. Still with space to develop in a great town, you could see the potential of the place.The drive was easy, driving through the New Forest and parking at a friends house in Boscombe. So if you ever visited the old ground, try figuring out where the old Brighton Beach End was located! Bournemouth is fantastic for a few days away, loads of  cheap hotels, excellent food places and really cheap prices. The beer at £3 pint was reasonable, although I doubt it was actually a pint, but I am sorry I don’t do football ground food. My guess is that there are less arrests at Bournemouth than there are at any of the other Premier League football grounds. The stewards seemed very attentive.The Vitality Stadium sits in the suburbs near a large park so very few facilities nearby. The surrounding area is quite residential and a steward told us the best/only place to eat and drink was in the ground so we queued at the turnstile. Met up with some other town fans who were in good voice, and headed for the ground just gone two.Food on offer inside the ground includes a range of Pies which are 'homemade' at the Stadium; Steak and Ale, Chicken & Mushroom (all £3.50), Burger/Cheeseburgers (£4), and Hot Dogs (£4). Still it did make a change from other Premier stadiums, it was more like a League One ground. The concourse wasn’t the biggest and it was very crowded at half time. One of the nice features of the ground is that all the stands are the same size, one stand doesn't stand out like other away grounds I have been to. Crystal Palace vs Manchester Utd by DatGuyRich in reddevils ... Vanessa Hudgens, AnnaSophia Robb, and Victoria Justice by rohanbro1314 in gentlemanboners A great day out with the Everton fans, despite the 3-1 defeat.My first thought was that it looked completely out of place in the Premier League, more so than Selhurst Park even. View of the pitch is fairly decent and a good away atmosphere can be created as it’s quite a small stand. Which although entertaining, doesn't really resemble a stadium light show as such, but more of a very large disco!Whilst easily accessible on the way in, the exit wasn’t smooth and the lack of any food matched with surly service and a breezy, three-quarter stadium didn’t exactly get us in the mood for a happy day out.
