'I received my O-level results via a half-time announcement'
You have been sharing your stories and photos about why you love is a final selection of your submissions, but do make sure you scroll down this page to see all the best responses from throughout the week: Roger: Supporter since 1961 when my dad first took me to Dean Court aged five. My first away match was at Luton in 1969. The promotions are special memories - York 1971, Fulham 1987, Carlisle 2013, Charlton 2015 and Nottingham Forest 2022.I received my O-level results away at Watford in August 1972 via a half time announcement. A shame we lost 3-2 (after being 2-0 up!). Ron: I was nine years old when the Football League restarted after World War Two. Together with a group of pals I would cycle 10 miles each way every Saturday afternoon to Dean Court (now Vitality Stadium) to watch either the first team or the reserves of Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic FC. I have followed them through thick and thin, from Division Three (South) to the dizzy heights of the Premier 78, distance and infirmity preclude me from attending matches, but I often wonder if there are any of my contemporaries who recall those times.

'Utterly delighted' - fans react to Semenyo's new deal
We asked for your thoughts on Antoine Semenyo signing a contract extension to keep him at the club until 2030, ending speculation he may be the latest to leave Vitality Stadium this are some of your replies:Michael: Unlike the two who have left Bournemouth this summer and who are likely starters for their new clubs, I am not sure Antoine could be sure of starting every game for a so-called bigger club. By staying at Bournemouth he is pretty much guaranteed a starting place in each game and probably realises that the grass is not always greener somewhere else. He could become our Matthew Le Utterly Nice to know he's staying, a great player for us. If we can hang on to most of the other players and have some new ones come in, we'll be fine, Must admit, Bournemouth fans were getting a bit jittery with players leaving. Now, who knows? We might just be a surprise package Him signing means that at least he doesn't go away for free. Would love to see him stay but football is Good news re Semenyo. Now, we need to sort out the defence.
