    The fans are being ushered back into the stands to allow the players the opportunity to get back onto the pitch to soak up the acclaim. Smiles all round the dressing room as the players perform the obligatory jigging up and down moves.

    Chairman Jeff Mostyn is loving it. He is mobbed by the players before voicing his delight in a way I couldn't possibly publish...

    If anyone is waiting up at home for their loved ones to get back from the Goldsands this evening, I wouldn't bother. They are going to be some time yet.

    The party continues. A day like this could only happen once in a lifetime.

    Charlton Athletic:, external Bournemouth celebrating like they've completely ruled out a 19-0 defeat at The Valley on Saturday. We'll see..

    Now that would be incredible.

    You get the feeling these Bournemouth players aren't going anywhere in a hurry.

    Strangers are hugging each other, the pitch is packed with fans waving flags and scarves and they are waiting for their heroes to emerge on the balcony.

    Paul Moore: I'm not even a Bouremouth fan and I am so happy. Congratulations to the cherries. See you at The Etihad next season.

    Peter Collins: If the FA punish Bournemouth for this pitch invasion, I think I might boycott the national team. Great show of passion!

    MJE: What a fairy tale for AFCBournemouth. Who'd have thought a club with a super-rich owner could get to the Premier League

    There are people in tears at Bournemouth.

    They have been through the bad times now they are enjoying the very good times.

    Young children on the field look almost bewildered. Their elders look as though they can't believe it. This a day for the history books.

    Incredible scenes at the Goldsands as thousands of Bournemouth fans race onto the pitch in celebration.

    They may not be officially promoted but these fans know they are in the Premier League.

    They have a 19-goal swing in their favour with one match to go. Enjoy the party.

    Game over. Bournemouth are in the Premier League - well as long as something absolutely ridiculous doesn't happen in the final game of the season.

    Callum Wilson shoots just over the bar as Bournemouth keep on coming.

    Dorset has long been known for its beauty. Now it is about to welcome a Premier League football team for the first time.

    Ten thousand fans singing four magic words. We. Are. Going. Up.

    Three minutes of injury time signalled.

    The Bournemouth fans are doing the conga. Fans of all generations are dancing and singing their side home.

    It is almost four as Harry Artur strikes just wide. Brett Pitman is furious with his team mate for not passing.... Give him a break Brett.

    Mark, Berkshire, on text: As a Saints fan; Many Congratulations to Bournemouth. Looking forward to playing them in a couple of real local derbies next season.

    Unnamed: Bournemouth have got under 11k as they go to premier league, Bristol rovers had 11k+ in the conference on Saturday! Amazing story for Bournemouth, good luck next season.

    Jamie Pragnell in Eastleigh: Eddie Howe and Ronald Koeman have done wonders for South Coast football this season, both should be applauded for fantastic achievements!

    Everyone is standing, everyone is clapping, everyone is singing.

    Bucket collections to raise money for the club, watching their side start the 2008 season on -17 points in League Two....

    It was all worth it wasn't it Cherries fans?

  15. Postpublished at 21:28 British Summer Time 27 April 2015

    Bournemouth won't officially be promoted this evening but tell that to the home fans.

    Middlesbrough can still get the same amount of points as the Cherries but to over take them they would need to improve a goal difference which is 19 goals worse than Bournemouth's.

    Impossible.

    You get the feeling manager Eddie Howe will never have to buy a beer in Bournemouth again.

    What a job the former Cherries player has done. The club were languishing in League Two when he was appointed eight years ago and now they are Premier League bound.

    Stunning.

    Pull those champagne corks out Bournemouth fans. You are going up!

    Another lovely goal as Andrew Surman gets in down the right, cuts the ball back for Callum Wilson and he turns brilliantly before firing home low into the net.

    Wilson's 23rd of the season and thoroughly deserved. The Premier League awaits.

    It is all one-way traffic now. Bolton just want the final whistle as Bournemouth continue to come at them.

    Having said that, I think a few Bournemouth fans are just waiting for the whistle too. There is a party to be had.

    Kenn: I promised my bro I would tear my shirt off & run round this Caerphilly pub if Bournemouth got a 3rd. & they missed penalty.

    Neil South: Great to see @afcbournemouth playing class football-they could sit back and play out the win, but I think they don't know how.

    Mathew Penistone: As an Arsenal fan the way Bournemouth play is fantastic. Proof anti-football isn't the way to play. Welcome to the top.

    Yann Kermorgant's missed penalty - and it was fairly awful - has done little to spoil the party mood at the Goldsands. Matt Ritchie almost makes amends with a powerful shot that flies over the bar.
