THE Fitness First Stadium at Dean Court will host its first three-sided clash when Cherries entertain Tranmere Rovers on Saturday December 1 (3pm kick-off).

The newly developed East Stand will make its Dean Court debut as Sean O'Driscoll's side look to bounce back from last week's 2-1 defeat at Chesterfield.

The 3,500-seater stand will take the ground's capacity up from 5,758 to 9,488, with many of the tickets still available to buy on the day of the match.

The new stadium opened its doors for the first time when Cherries thumped Division Two rivals Wrexham 3-0 earlier this month.

But less than 6,000 fans were able to buy tickets for that historic match because the East Stand was still incomplete.

Tickets for Saturday's game, which sees O'Driscoll's side looking to extend their unbeaten home run to three games, range from £5 for under-18s and over-65s to £15.

Students, ES40 holders or Junior Cherries, looking to cash in on special low-price tickets ranging from £3 to £5, must buy their tickets at least 24 hours in advance.

Seats can be purchased from Cherries' special ticket hotline by calling 0845 011 2322. Any season ticket holders wishing to switch their seats to the East Stand can do so after Saturday.
