534 League
games played at
Dean Court by AFC Bournemouth
(including 3 play-offs)
The club was elected into the Football League Division 3 [S] in 1923 as
Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic and changed the name to
AFC Bournemouth in 1971. In 2001, as the conversion of the ground to the
Fitness First Stadium had not been completed, eight matches at the start of the season were played at the
Avenue Stadium of Dorchester Town FC. The fastest ever League hat-trick was scored here in 2 mins 20 secs by James Hayter for
AFC Bournemouth v.
Wrexham (6-0) on February 24th, 2004. The club was also involved in a Football League Play Off Match at the neutral venue of the
Millennium Stadium.
