Think thats the game we had a good following in the terrace, were at the end of the game a mob of bolton were trying to get onto the pitch to have a go at wolves in the south bank while a mob of bolton at the other end of the terrace were kicking the gates in to get at wolves outside - carnage after the game!

Had all the lower terrace, just had shit thrown at us from above all during the game.

I went on the Travel Club and the coach broke down. Sadly they managed to fix the fucker and we still made the match - only missing the first goal.

 

Whole game was spent dodging stuff being thrown from upper tier and winding the old bill up. Wanderers fans all surged out after the game and weren't for being kept behind. Same happened at Barnsley in Cup the same season.

 

We had some followings when you think about it - 3k at Wolves, probably 4k at Barnsley...in a season when our average home crowd was only 5k!

That was 1 rough day! 4 down at half time uric, fookin Steve bastard Bull!!

 

I got threw out twice before kick off that day.

Cost me a small fortune to see us get hammered.

 

Stayed with a mate who was at Birmingham Uni and it kicked off there later that night too.

We went down in 3 coaches and a few vans. Got pulled by the filth on the outskirts. One lad DR was so bladdered he fell off the coach steps into the arms of the Wolverhampton constabulary. Safe to say he missed the game.

The Deane lads only made it as far as the Stafford area,some village called Pinkclink,Pinkthorpe,something like that and got an escort all the way back to  Great Moor St. I've got the pics of their coach.surrounded by 8 vans of filth.

 

Match was shit except for when we baled into the puffs outside.

 

Great followings in that division,good days and brilliant memories
