How good were our mums?
They felt our passion and felt our joy and pain. When we got beat my mam would be gutted for all our family, my dad, two brothers, two brother-in-laws, both sisters, six nephews and two neices who are all staunch Wanderers fans and season ticket holders, she felt our, joy, hurt and pain. As kids we went up and down all the leagues, experienced every emotion, but our owd dear sat there in her chair watching the final results no matter what, wanting her clan to be happy. My mam would of been 89 today, but I bet she’s up there on her cloud watching the re-building of our club, wanting the very best for us. It’s a rollercoaster ride, but it’s our club and passion, it’s our unique answer to other fans question of “who do you support?”. It’s a very proud thing to say “I’m a Bolton Wanderers supporter, they’re my town”, I always say it with pride. To those who have gone out to Portugal, say it with a big smile on your face, show the love. Enjoy fellas 🙂
