Winds me up on talksport when Dave from Essex is allowed a say about his beloved dmbs or just Goldstein. There is no stigma attached to their pathetic glory hunting and people allow them an opinion. I suppose it’s the reaction they want. poor lad. absolute shit hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan wanderer Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I was a city fan growing up in the 70,s.as Francis Lee was my hero back in the day,even went to Wembley in 1970 with them in the league cup final to be honest I had never heard of Bolton wanderers until my dads friend took us to watch Bolton at Blackburn about 1972/1973 I was about 9 years old I was hooked and in love, been a wanderer ever since if they had gone pop 18 months ago I would still be a wanderer as I am today maybe have gone to watch Chorley now and again.

Wigan wanderer Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 When I was at school the concept of a second club was mainly rangers or Celtic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the fact that lockdown has made all "fans" equal, we all watch on TV, none of us have the "limbs" moments and none of us have the moral high ground of travelling and watching in the freezing cold. If it goes on another year there's a danger it becomes "normal" to not attend and just cant happen. But we’ll be safe in the knowledge that when we’re allowed, we’ll be heading to who knows where and they’ll still be sitting in their comfy chair.

Underpants Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) When Notts Forest were ripping up the league and Europe my mate at school decided to support them. Never seen him since I left school. I reckon he's probably City now. Edited February 12, 2021 by Underpants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 As a kid my dad a blue took me Maine road went couple of games but never gelled with city, used to look at derby results but soon as I found Burnden park and BWFC at 10 that was it although went on my own to start with then slowly got to know some BWFC fans, in 76 we played that great Derby team in the 1/4 final, beat them at the baseball ground and that sealed it big time.

I have the tattoo to prove it. The second team came in from living away, we were building our own house in the 90's so after a Saturday morning's graft we would just go down to Sincil Bank and watch Lincoln City and got into it... but as soon as we'd moved in the BWFC season tickets were brought just in time for the White Hot days. So we still see LCFC as a "second team", still in touch with some of the regulars there. The last time I saw BWFC was at Lincoln... at least I saw Darcy's debut goal, it was a belter.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 12, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2021 As very young kids, many aren't particularly attached. Family were red and blue, but after moving over here as a toddler and growing up mainly playing football, it wasn't until late primary school that I started to gain an affinity for the club. One lad at school played for the town team (or something) and a few of us ended up going to watch a training session at Bromwich Street. Then my dad brought a couple of season tickets home from work, and that was that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Cheese Posted February 12, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2021 Nearest I've ever come to having a second team is when I managed Rushden & Diamonds on Championship Manager 4. I'd have died for any member of that squad, and the fans knew it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother has lived in Lincoln for about 25 years, we'd never played there in all that time and we were well up for it when we were finally in the same division last year. Little did we think years ago that when we did meet, that we would be massive underdogs and would finish the season well below them. I travelled over and we were gutted when it was called off. I didn't get to the rearranged game but he did, with his 10 year old lad, so had the thrill of the Darcy moment if nothing else. Never in all that time has it been suggested that Lincoln would be his 2nd club, he and my nephew are still only interested in BWFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 My dad was a Bolton fan. He took me to Burnden Park in the 56/57 season and I had a season ticket the next season and for many many more after even though I left Bolton in 1972. Since then I have made friends with real supporters of several other clubs and tend to look at their results but merely for an interest point of view as I'm Bolton till I die.

Don't get me wrong, when I was sat in the St Andrews Stand when building my house I was still always looking out for the Bolton half time score and had my Burnden scarf wrapped around my neck. I was there in the away stand behind Aiden Davison in the FA cup second round. I like Lincoln, having lived here since 1982 and I like the football club, I work and am friends with many of their supporters; I had to share a bloody car after the match with a load of LCFC after the Darcy game but my DNA is and will always be the Bolton. Do I know your Brother? There are a lot of Boltoners over here, Mayor Crumblehulme was Bolton, when I broke my elbow in a bike crash the surgeon who fixed it was a Boltoner who helped out at Lincoln City and Dean Crombie always made sure Lincoln United had our previous season's training kit.

I went to that cup tie when Tomo, Brownie and Coyle scored, wierd tea time KO for Sky, but that was a couple of years before my brother moved there. Maybe unlikely you'd know him, moves in different circles to me, unless you've been to Lincoln Theatre Royal. He is musical director of shows there (or was) and teaches music. He's nothing like me, to say the least, but like you I really like Lincoln, great place with great pubs, feels chilled. (His mate owns Imperial Teas on Steep Hill when he's not playing Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ros Coe Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 One Christmas Day when I was about seven, I came downstairs in my new football strip.. red shirt, black shorts and BLUE socks 😳 asked my dad which team it was and he said “Manchester United I think” - so I was a scummer for a couple of years with a huge poster of George Best on my bedroom wall which my brothers used to throw darts at 😁 Then in 1972/73 my brother took me to my first game at Burnden, sat on the huge steps on the embankment v York City. We lost 0-1 but I was hooked and never returned to the dark side. Good job I had an older brother to show me the right path.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
