500 Free Tickets to the Premiere of the film Manchester Disunited.
Thursday 17th August 2006.
We have just been advised (at the last minute) by the organisers of the Premier
of the new film Manchester Disunited that there will be 500 free tickets on
a first come first served basis.
Location: Elements in Bournemouth
Date: Thursday 17th August 2006.
Doors open at 7:00. Film starts at 7:30.
Over 18s only.
Capacity 500 - first come first served.
There will be a drinks promotion of some description.
The film is basically about a very timely reminder of the dangers of getting
into bed with the wrong type of owners, and from the write ups (see links
below), it would seem that the author shares similar concerns to the fans
of AFCB.
Welcome to the AFCB Community Mutual web site. This is intended to be a focus for communicating on a regular basis both with the members of the Community Mutual and anybody else with views aligned with the Mutual's objectives. It is not intended to replace or compete with other AFC Bournemouth supporter based web sites. Much of the information contained within the site will therefore be static and provided primarily as a reference point for members and articles that may be of interest. We hope you enjoy reading it; to find out more about how it is being developed read here.

holding an Open Forum on Thursday September 7th, starting at 7.30pm, in the

(CM Members and non-CM Members) will be able to ask questions.
››18.07.2006 - CM STATEMENT
The Cm regrets that Stuart Walker has decided to post his resignation statement
in the manner that he has chosen.
We are all aware of the financial situation at the club and the CM has spoken
at length to the Main Board detailing our concerns. However it must be appreciated
that the club is talking to
interested investors but these talks take time and some of the comments made
are not helping in these efforts.
Yes we would all like to see the "White Knight" that would banish
all our problems away with a wave of his cheque book but in the real harsh
world of Football Finance these people are extremely rare and clubs have to
manage on exceedingly tight budgets and the perseverance of their creditors.
In the case of AFCB we have been saddled with debts and problems for many
years and it is a credit to
the club that we have survived. The S and L however unpopular enabled the
club to carry on but in no way has it answered all the problems.
In the present climate it requires all parties to work together to find the
right solution and it is sad when a member of the CM chooses to leave and
air his grievances instead of fighting for what we have been elected to stand
for.
We at the CM are totally committed in our efforts to help secure the long
term future of the club. We are not afraid to speak out if issues arise which
we feel are not in the clubs best interests and have voiced our concerns on
a number of occasions.
The club needs stability and unity especially now and it is vital that all
of us work together to protect the club that we fought so hard to save not
so long ago.
