Behind The Scences At AFC Bournemouth's Training Pavilion

You may have read my previous blog post when I was recently invited to AFC Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium to meet Scottish international and fans favourite player Matt Ritchie; as well as see the brilliant promotional plan that the Media & Comms team had put together. (You can read the blog post here)

For me personally I was very privileged to get to see behind the scenes at both the stadium and the adjacent Pavilion training complex. 

From the media and press room in the stadium to walking along the tunnel and out onto the pitch, to sitting in the dug outs for a few pictures. The stadium and facilities are amazing and first class.
We then headed out of the stadium itself to head across to the adjacent training facilities. Known as the Pavilion this newly built facility is indeed Premier League quality and standards.
I was lucky enough to get a brief tour of the Pavilion as well as say hello to most of the first team squad as the arrived for training. Matt was already in but getting some treatment.
He arrived some 10 minutes later and was more than happy to talk about bikes, cycling and the charity event itself. 

Recently AFC Bournemouth published an article on their website, sharing an insight and images of the Pavilion training facility that I was lucky enough to get to see in person.
