gja69 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Blackburn away- 20,000 whites to see Franky Worthy slot home a great pass from Greavo, never forget that day sat in the Darwen end as a 9 year old , at one point I turned round and saw peter Nicholson sat in the crowd n he winked at me . Lo and behold nipped into local club yesterday n Greavo n Nicko were having a pint after a game of golf, had a pint and a chat and only today noticed the significant date - seems coincidental or maybe fate?

oggybwfc Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 That night comes into conversation at least six times every season. For those there , one of the greatest nights following Bolton . For those that missed it Hardies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted April 26, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2014 Players being stripped off by fans on the pitch, was mental....must have been horrible for t`rovers fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Pleasure to be there and great the clip of Frankies goal exists love to see extended highlights just to see the size of our following which was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted April 26, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2014 Can't believe we will ever replicate those times again. Massive away followings on terracing & a team that was a joy to behold.... or is it just me getting old & nostalgic? Nights games especially memorable, Blackburn, Derby & Everton away. Blackburn at home...33,000 for a div 3 game. Oh, & the slaying of the dmbs, so glad I grew up in that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted April 26, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2014 Before my time, although I do remember the Fulham game. 26 years ago, 10 years later, we were playing Newport County in front of about 4000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted April 26, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2014 It's been a rollercoaster of that there's no doubt but it's been worth all the lows & I don't believe there's a bigger percentage of quality characters in any other teams support, so many laughs even in the dark days.

bgoefc Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 twas a quality goal to be sure...... if you really had been "sat" in the Darwin end you would probably been trampled in the surge when that goal went in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhanley Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Think Bolton have been on pitch at most other local grounds for one reason or another. Blackburn (as above) Preston (trouble in the mid 80s at Div 3 games) Burnley (trouble at the FA Cup game in 87) Blackpool (Sherpa Van win in 89). Can't bring to mind pitch invasions at WIgan and Bury. Home end invasions at both, but not pitch invasions. Don't recall any of the above doing the same at Burnden or the Reebok.

COYW Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Can't bring to mind pitch invasions at WIgan and Bury. Home end invasions at both, but not pitch invasions. Pitch invasion when we scored in the last minute of the Freight Rover Trophy semi-final first leg at Wigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COYW Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 26 years ago, 10 years later, we were playing Newport County in front of about 4000. At the first home game of the 1977/78 promotion season, the attendance was under 15,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beer_swiller Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Big Ste,aka lever ender in LA got the biggest prize that night in Frank Worthy's shirt. An evening never to be forgotten, the support from the Wanderers fans was tremendous. Keep the faith and nights like that could once again return.
