Chairman of the Cherries Supporters Trust says Bournemouth fans will understand why the club is looking to build a new stadium away from Dean Court after the board claimed they were being "held to ransom" by the ground's owners.
Chief executive Neill Blake issued a statement on Friday afternoon confirming the decision had been taken to start looking for a suitable site following ongoing discussions over plans to develop the 11,464-capacity Vitality Stadium with owners Structadene and Bournemouth Borough Council.
Bournemouth have been established at their current site in Kings Park since 1910, but the the Vitality Stadium holds the smallest capacity of any Premier League club.
