SpiritofBurnden Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 You can wheel that nugget out each time the subject is raise, sounds like full on BWFC PR. FACTS, it was a quid a ticket = we were giving them away. So did Blackburn have a full house when they let supporters in for free at one of their UEFA home games?

Moderators Carlos Posted November 4, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2011 You mean the one that kicked off at 6pm? No idea what your point is though. Less than 10,000 in the Bolton end last time we were in the UEFA. It happened, end of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 10,000 in the Bolton end last time we were in the UEFA. It happened, end of. To be fair, the thread wasnt started to discuss home crowds, we know for most UEFA cup games, our home gates were shit. But the fans more than made up for it away in Europe.

Lever Ender in L.A. Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Expensive ???? try getting there from L.A. or Perth well done to the 100% club,,,,employers around the world just don't understand Bolton passion...only made it to Munich and Madrid as did Bolty....that Munich game was quite possibly our greatest away game ever...pissing freezing rain and we had the time of our lives...as for Madrid I will never visit that country again because of them cowardly twats hiding behind a uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 So to sum up, we had shite home support, unless it was dirt cheap, because people weren't that interested. Our away support was top draw because we've got our fair share of pisscans and notrights. Sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'd say it proves we've got a very loyal but very small core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalfordOriginal Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'd say it proves we've got a very loyal but very small core. Which was always the case in the lower divisions. Home support was somewhat average, but we always had a healthy following away in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted November 4, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2011 They were the times of our lives, reward for those losing trips to Springfield Park and Gigg Lane. Kamenitza, Efes, Super Bock, Leffe and Le Co-op Lager, Skopsko, Augustiner, Belgrade bombers, San Miguel and Super Bock once again, thanks for the memories.

Smiley Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thought Besiktas was our smallest - about 400 or so? Thought we had a decent following in Belgrade.... whereas Rabotnicki hard to say, we were pretty spread out along the length of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted November 4, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) So to sum up, we had shite home support, unless it was dirt cheap, because people weren't that interested. Our away support was top draw because we've got our fair share of pisscans and notrights. Sounds about right. and for some reason some folk get offended to suggest another team might have more fans turn up than we did, home or away, when in fact unless you were there yourself, it really don't matter went to Plovdiv, Marseille, Munich & Madrid miself but am really not arsed that Stoke took "only" 250 fans to Israel, fair fucks to them that did Edited November 4, 2011 by ZicoKelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting people in for free is still no guarantee of a full house in the early rounds of that competition but we still managed to get a couple of decent attendances.

captainmed Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 As the heading topic is stokes following they have sold out the bottom tier for Sunday - 1600. Would imagine 2000 will come. If people cast their mind back to Jan, when we were doing well and our following down at the britannia. It was Saturday 3pm. It was pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting people in for free is still no guarantee of a full house in the early rounds of that competition but we still managed to get a couple of decent attendances. In the latter rounds (against "glamour" opposition), when we got a load of kids in at half-term. Brilliant. Also, I think the Blackburn fans were protesting about the early kick off by boycotting it, from memories of the "legends" on Century phone-in. If you are going to get smarmy, it might be best to have an argument that's not full of holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 my favorite memory was in munich and snapping out of my intoxicated state at 6am and finding myself in a mad back street hard electro club full of mad germans sweating their tits off,with no shirts on and bottles of water,with a woman on stage playing one of them funny shaped guitars with piano keys on it from the 80's.i was still in my big coat with a can of lager in my hand!.. when i left,i had no idea of how to get back to my hotel,i just had the hotels card.i went into an office block where i could see an early morning cleaner mopping the reception,i waved my card in here face and she chased me out with her mop,prodding me like i was some wild animal! i managed to get these buisness type fellas that spoke broken english to get me a cab on one of theirs phone...arrived back at my hotel and then had tell the driver that simply,i didnt have any money!! haha....he kind of knew it was a lost cause and just said 'get out'!

Bobcat Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 i always remember a scouser who had followed the murderers everywhere...he said you had three categories of fan.... the fan who does home games the fan who does aways and the fan who does the european aways...these are the fans that are the most passionate and are usually the ones that will follow the team come what may....
