Paul , on the 85/86 video is the Forest away Milk cup match featured ?

Sadly not. The first game of the season was filmed a one off for the 90th anniversary of Burnden - that's the Rotherham game I posted the other day. Then there's nothing until New Year's Day which is a 1-2 home defeat to Wigan. I'm not putting that up! From then on most of the games from the second half of 85/6 were filmed, latterly with Dave Higson commentating. It wasn't Roadrunner then though, it was another firm.

Thanks for the reply , that's a shame regarding the Forest match. At least we are lucky some people had the foresight to record these games .

1972-73 season

First game of the season, home to Bournemouth 3-0 to the Super Whites. I remember the manny road north giving John Aston plenty of stick as an ex-man u player. My first experience of the hatred of them.

That season we went on to win the league and it was the start of a turn around in fortune for the club.

All Lancashire clubs won all the leagues that year.

Think we played Burnley in Warwick Rimmers testimonial - had they won the 4th Division?

Paul , do you have Mansfield away 1986/87 , a 2-2 draw.

There you go, Mansfield 2 Bolton 2 in 1986/7. Looked like a good game. It was in the only decent run we had that season. Neil Whatmore and Mike Graham played for Mansfield. Warren Joyce's header for our second was a cracker. Healthy away following going mental on the away terrace.

It was the last minute and they nearly won in injury time. Glad you enjoyed it. I'm going to keep posting. Having these games gathering dust at home is no good.

There brilliant , I never thought I'd see footage of that game , 1 more request though then I'll stop pestering you. Have you got the Carlisle home game from the same season , we won 2-0 and my dad and uncle took me but near the end with us winning 1-0 they wanted to leave early to avoid the traffic , and I never saw Ian Stevens goal.

Yeah got that one. I'll post it at some stage. Phil Neal scores a long range goal in that game. Our last win before relegation to Div 4. Quite a lot of bother that day too if I recall.

They seem mundane fixtures , but with me living in Notts I only got to home games when visiting relations.I'm sure we played Bury away soon after , a 0-0 draw at gigg lane , we went to that too and I wouldn't let them leave early in case we missed a goal.

That was when we couldn't do a thing against Bury. Getting a draw was a surprise. Got the game.... I'll have to think how to edit a 0-0

I think even I found that game hard work , and I was like a coiled spring for days before watching Bolton when I was young.

Derby games generally got me like that and they're the closest I get even now. We may well still have a club next season. Bring on Blackpool and maybe Bury.

Definitely, I think we may be ok.I may well be able to visit Mansfield again if they go up , even though away fans are now at the opposite end of the ground.
