Gary O’Neil shared how Cherries appreciate their travelling support, stating: “We’re going to need them.” With train strikes, adjusted transport schedules and the financial pressures the winter holidays can place on families, O’Neil shared how he was “proud” of Cherries’ away support.
Gary O Neil said: “I thought the support at Newcastle was incredible for considering how far it is, the weather, the late fixture change, the sort of the issue with transport as well at the moment. I appreciate their efforts. We’re going to need them. I spoke about it a lot, speak about it when we play here, obviously, because the atmosphere we create here will be massive for us, but it’s the same on the road. So to see that many people come and support you, I was proud of the supporters, really, to give up their evening when it’s a tough one, like a long journey back on a Tuesday night. And a lot of them will still be working, I would guess so, yes, we appreciate it. Hopefully they see that the lads are putting in a similar effort on the pitch.”
