I heard their 3rd go in as about 20 of us Wanderers fans were handcuffed inside a Police van behind that embankment. Great header from Stevens that for our goal Must be some footage of the trouble knocking about then. It's not on my tape ... but then I suppose the boys in blue didn't use Dave's tapes to provide their evidence in court! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going mad about all the trouble saying how disgusting it was while I was shouting 'Go on lads, get in there! 🤣 😂 I had a colleague who a few years later joined the Police over there. He said years later Barnsley FC and the bobbies were still saying they dreaded it when Bolton were in town! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowball Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 That barnsley game went in van and we stopped at a local pub about as far as Starkie was from Burnden. Went in and it was rough as fuck. Just thought oh well keep my head down and might get out alive. Sat there nursing my pint then some cock decides to try and sell Bolton scratch cards to local whippet shaggers. Not impressed and were told to leave before we got a 'Barnsley Smile'. Got back to van and coppers told us to walk to ground or we'd be nicked. Had to walk all way thru their town centre. Very very lively there and back but thats another story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiwhite Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Cheers for the footage Paul, nice one mate. On this clip, 1 minute 25 seconds in, are we the opposition at Old Trafford ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any evidence that any of our games v United in the 70s were televised either in Div 2 in 74/5 or Div 1 in the late 70s. Granada always did our games v City though!! My theory about the bit at 1m 25 is that it's Liverpool in their old away strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the clip it mentions Pearson , but according to my rothmans he didn"t play when they beat us 3-0 at their place in 1974/75 , hope this helps.

If it's 74/5 that blows my Liverpool theory out of the water! This is good for knowing who Granada televised back in the day http://carousel.royalwebhosting.net/itv/KickOffMatch.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted April 29, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2019 I think there's a white trim on the shorts First time we did that was league cup semi v Everton, a fair bit later And we were never on kick off v united If I had to guess, I'd go derby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 We were on about the 70s last night so here's a match from the middle of that decade. Highlights of Bolton 2 Chelsea 1 from 1975/6. Chelsea take the lead but Bolton win through two own goals, the second comical. Peter Thompson and John Byrom play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads, to be fair the mob what piled in the Wagon and Horses were just kids, but pissed and boisterous with the cans they had on the special on the way up. A few pints later they wanted to take the world on at the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolton va va Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 7 minutes ago, paulhanley said: Did they come unstuck then? Not really. I think that game was the return fixture from when we'd won 1-0 at Chelsea & Siddall ?? saved a penalty at the end just to wind them up a bit more. At the game ,we started off in the middle of the open end & finished up pressed against the fence in the corner , afterwards there was so much trouble round the coaches that the police made them leave & left several Bolton fans behind. At Bolton, Chelsea turned up early in big numbers & there was trouble in a few pubs & then they went on the Lever End & got the better of things.

When they came three times in Div 2 in the early 80s it was trouble every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
