Opening Pre-Season Fixtures Announced

The Cherries have publicised the first of their pre-season fixtures, with the pick of the bunch being matches against FC Copenhagen and Swansea City.

The two matches currently sandwich the whole programme with the game against 2013/14 Champions League entrants, FC Copenhagen, happening whilst the club are on their Austrian training camp (tickets will start from ?8), and their match versus the Premier League Swans occurring just 8 days before the start of the new Championship season.

The Cherries squad return for the start of pre-season on Saturday 28 June, before flying to Austria on Tuesday 8 July where they will be put through their paces at a base in Bad Waltersdorf, which is located in the state of Styria.
