The Cherries take on Port Vale at Dean Court for the final home match of the season, and it's all set to be a Red & Black celebration day!
There will be no celebrations from Eddie Howe and the team prior to the game though as the Cherries boss is fully focused on his side gaining three points, "We enjoyed last weekend, but this week we have worked hard on the training ground to prepare for this game. We cannot treat it like any other and the players are determined to see out the home fixtures on a high. We cannot let our standards drop for a minute as we owe it to our supporters and every team in this division to maintain what we have done all season.
Vale are on a great run, particularly away from home and they have come from the pack to move in to the play off places, which is a great testament to Micky Adams and his players. We won't be doing them any favours though as there is still the mathematical chance of second place, and we would love to finish there. Our form at the end of last season was terrific and we took that in to this season, and that's exactly what we want to do now to take in to the League 1 campaign next season."
The Cherries drew 0-0 at Vale Park earlier this season.
