  • Up the Cherries!

    If you’re looking for a high quality supporter produced podcast about AFC Bournemouth then this is for you. The boys are locals who put significant personal time and resources into attending the Cherrie’s matches and reporting on them. Specifically if you are not local to the club and watch from afar then you will enjoy the personal enthusiasm and historical knowledge that Sam, Tom, Tiggs and others bring to Cherrie’s fandom.

  • Amateur and cringe

    This is the worst podcast I’ve ever listened to the hosts have very limited football knowledge and love making little digs at other clubs but struggle to take it when given back the one who dresses like a teenager is not a good look especially smoking non stop and getting drunk and very spicy

  • Quality football podcast and not just for AFCB fans!

    Pleased to see BOTN on my podcast app, the team put out the best AFC Bournemouth content out there. Always very fair to opposition teams so worth a listen even if you’re not an AFCB fan.
