Happy with Hummel.
Should get bespoke kits.
They often make long sleeve.
Some recent interesting designs.
Not adverse to using a retro badge (might we see the MBJ badge)
#afcb
@afcb_r0b We’ve had nearly 10 badges/variations across our history. We’ve already messed with it in recent seasons by changing the colour of it. I personally think the current badge is a bit naff. Much prefer the one from the 80s.
@MattCarrick5@ThemeParkWW Season ticket holders, traditions passed down generations, grandparents to parents etc. Typical rituals accompany each visit.
As a life long Alton Towers fan, I’ve never felt so disappointed in the park. It really is disheartening to see the place you love, fall so far behind.
Everything from the ride availability to the staggered openings is affecting the guest experience massively.

It was actually announced at the time. Our Umbro deal is up this year too, will be interesting to see who we get and how it stacks up vs the Umbro deal.
...and buried in the fine print a new FOS sponsor for #afcb for 2026/27 is revealed. Gone are the ties to betting. In comes Vitality with a 5 year deal - a health/life insurance company with a local presence.
Cannae release a #BKFC presentation pack for shareholders. A fairly long read. No real surprises.
Confirms Auckland FC as an affiliate
Significant #afcb revenue growth across the board
> Ticketing up 27%
> ST renewals @ 98%
> 95% sales of hospitality

@Adam_Bateman_UK@captainstaino@Ankaman616@MiguelDelaney I’m a Bournemouth fan. There’s a chance that 8th gets conference league this season. That possibility is keeping this season alive for me and is one that I never imagined possible (Bournemouth in Europe).
Any more than four teams from one country in a European competition is an absolute joke really. Uefa have made many bad decisions over the past few years, but that is one of the worst.
@arnoldsavoir Yes, ahead of next season at which point we’ll have 1500 additional seats (so 900 general admission extra when you factor those being converted to hospitality).
Crunching the numbers:
We’re losing 600 home seats to hospitality. That’s just over 6% of #afcb home 9,700 capacity.
Apply the same percentage to Newcastle’s 52,300 and you’re talking approx 3000 seats switched to hospitality.
Bet that would be a national football story.
@Tim_Vickery As a long time Bournemouth and Tim Vickery fan who remembers the League 2 days, it’s surreal to read a column on one of Brazil’s next big things at Bournemouth.
Although I do have it on reliable authority that he used to roam the streets of Rio in a Brett Pitman shirt….
