Woodgate - I can't wait to have the fans in

For the first time in over six months, Vitality Stadium can welcome Cherries fans back to watch their side on Monday.

Under the latest government guidelines, we are able to admit just over 2,000 home supporters - all having been successful in the season ticket ballot last week,

And the stakes couldn't be higher as AFC Bournemouth host Brentford in the first leg of the Championship play-off semi-finals, with a 6pm kick-off for the match on Monday.

SUPPORTERS ATTENDING THE GAME SHOULD READ THIS KEY INFORMATION BEFORE ARRIVAL.

Head coach Jonathan Woodgate - who is yet to lead his side in front of fans - is also excited to have the vocal support behind his side.

"I can't wait," he said. "I've played when it's been absolutely rammed down here and full, they create an incredible atmosphere. It's not going to be full but we know all the fans that will be coming in will be loud, on our side and I can't wait to have them in.

"It will be the first time for me to have fans in, but the players have told me how good they are when they're playing and how much they get behind the team.

"It can make a huge difference, hopefully it's a positive one for us and we need every single one of those to be really positive and be behind the team, and I'm sure they will."
