FRONTMAN Yann Kermorgant predicts that playing in the Premier League's larger grounds will be "a massive change".

Cherries are all but assured of a place in the top flight and are set to travel to the likes of Old Trafford, the Emirates and the Etihad in 2015-16.

Those arenas dwarf Dean Court - which has an 11,700 capacity - and Kermorgant expects the experience on the pitch to be markedly different.

He told the Daily Echo: "It will be a massive change to play in front of crowds of up to around 70,000 and we will have to deal with that pressure.

"I am older and have more experience so maybe I will deal with it more easily than some players.

"In terms of emotion it could be a massive step for some of the young players who have not played for many years in the Championship.

"You know it is not nothing to play in front of 70,000 fans but we have to make sure we can be good on the pitch and not scared by the opposition.

"We have worked so hard to achieve the promotion and now we have to work hard to make sure we stay there."
