Been there just the once, FA Cup 7th Dec 1963. All round a not good experience. Delusions of success under Eddie Howe resulted in relegation, match was a 1-1 draw (our prolifiic centre forward Terry Bly getting a goal) and we lost the replay. My motorbike ground to a halt near what is now Winner City (ah ah) on the A614. Typical of 3 pronged spark plugs on a two strokes. It was cold, I think a bit wet but I got it fixed in time to get home for what I think was the first live appearance of The Beatles on TOTP.
