Cherries Deserve More Airtime - Mostyn

Last updated : 04 April 2014 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator

So far this season AFC Bournemouth's spot light on TV has been restricted to one match live on Sky Sports (v Brighton & Hove Albion) and a live coverage of the FA Cup encounter against Liverpool. On the BBCs Football League Show, the Cherries have been the feature match just the once, and that was back in August when Wigan Athletic were the visitors.

Speaking in the Bournemouth Evening Echo on the lack of airtime, Mostyn is quoted as saying: "It has been a huge bugbear of mine. We are the team of the moment and some of the football we have been playing has been sublime. We have been getting plaudits from other clubs’ directors and supporters, while coverage of our games has been excellent in both the national and local press. We are the talk of the league at the moment and if anybody can show me a team playing more attractive and better quality football, I would like to know who they are. Not too many people would have predicted we would have been 10th with seven games remaining. The players and the management team have done an incredible job. They are playing with confidence and have a winning mentality. I cannot begin to say how proud I am to be chairman of this club. Certainly since I arrived in 2006, there has not been a better time to be associated with this club. The team deserves to have the place packed to the rafters for the next two home games, and for the rest of the season. Everybody has to dream and the fantasy can be achieved. Every year a team comes through the pack to grasp a place in the play-offs so why can’t it be us this season. It is indicative of how far we have come that people are saying we only have to beat QPR, Reading, Forest and Ipswich to reach the play-offs. If we were to do that, we would deserve to reach them".

The Cherries are due to be the featured match on the BBCs Football League Show on Saturday evening as the Club hosts Queens Park Rangers.
