Site Supporter MickyD Posted December 1, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2019 But I'm hearing folk who now, by their own admission, don't give a shit about Bolton any more because they just love their non-league club. Folk who started going when excuses were trotted out like "I'm not going while *Megson/Coyle/Freedman/Lennon/Parkinson is in charge" But now that none of them are in charge and they ran out of excuses. How is that any different than stopping watching Bolton and instead watching Man City or other local pro club? * Delete not applicable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widnes Two Hats Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Had a great time at Athy yesterday, looked after us really well and I'll have you know, I watched the first half Cassy. Number 9 was MOM for me on that first half performance, plus I was talking to him after the game and he supports Bolton, that Hardcastle supports Leeds so he was 2nd in the MOM Performances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fester58 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I had 9 mates in the corporate yesterday, all of them had a brilliant time, we were really well looked after by the club,and for the price they charge is well worth the money.

But you've forgotten your BWFC upbringing. You've even said you don't care much for Bolton any more. That, to me, is the same as someone who changes allegiances and goes for a big successful club. You'd all be back if we got to a major cup final though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widnes Two Hats Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) 30 odd of our lot there and every one of em was a Bolton lad, 20 odd of them season ticket holders and all go to the game, we had no game so went to Athy as we did last time. Don't judge but it's a good day out Edited December 1, 2019 by Widnes Two Hats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEE're happy, he's happy and so are the players. There were 40 applicants, one a former manager of Falkirk and one was a well known ex Bolton player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
