Matchday information
With the slightly earlier evening kick-off at the Vitality, supporters are urged to arrive early at the stadium. With traffic expected to be high due to the holiday season, fans can click here to check the latest travel news ahead of their journey.
A large majority of trains arrive at Bournemouth Central Train Station, which is accessible to wheelchair users. Leave the station by the south exit (facing Asda) and turn left to head towards the main road. Turn left again and walk straight up Holdenhurst Road for around 25 minutes, until you reach a roundabout at which you turn right into Kings Park Drive. Vitality Stadium is on the left. For more information, click here.
The nearest train station to the stadium is Pokesdown for Boscombe, which is roughly a mile from the ground and around a 15-minute walk away. This station is not currently accessible for wheelchair users. Exit the station and turn right down the main Christchurch Road (A35) for 400m and turn right into Gloucester Road. Follow signs for Kings Park to arrive at Vitality Stadium. Click here for more information.
The usual off-site free parking for supporters at Avonbourne Academy is unavailable for this week’s match, and parking in the south car park will be limited. Supporters are advised to head for the Sovereign Centre. Parking in the south car park costs £1 and is payable in cash, while it is free for blue badge holders.
Ahead of kick-off, visiting Wolves supporters are welcome in Mello Mello bar in Boscombe.
Wolves fans will be seated in Vitality East Stand, blocks 21-24 and are accessed via Turnstile F. Supporters are required to adhere to the ground regulations, which can be found here.
Bournemouth carry out 100% electronic wanding and 100% searching and will ask supporters to empty their pockets while they are in the queue to enter, as well as taking this opportunity to check tickets at this point. As this takes time, Wolves supporters are urged to enter the ground as early as possible.
