Ladies and gents, it’s with great pleasure that the rumours, whispers and smoke signals are really true. White Love fanzine is back after a 20-year hiatus. For those that remember us – happy days. For those wondering if we are some hot-dogging white-pillowcased supremacist recruitment site or dodgy internet knocking shop – yeah, we’ve heard all the jokes already. Times have changed and ‘White Love’ probably wouldn’t be the monicker we’d choose in this day ‘n’ age… but hey, its says what it means – white (as in Whites, Super-Whites, White Army, come on your White men) and love (who doesn’t love their hometown team?). Anyway, I’m digressing here… Back on point, the ‘zine is now a ‘site and instead of print it's now all digital. Launching on Monday 4th July. Independence Day for an independent fan site seemed just about right and gets us on-board with the masses ahead of the new season. ***NOTE TO SITE ADMINS: DON’T WORRY, WHITE LOVE IS NOT A FORUM/CHATROOM SITE*** That’s that then. Hope to see some of you over there. Oh yeah…. www.whitelove.co.uk

Brought to you by White Love Publications A 178-page book following some of Bolton’s more memorable, more forgettable and more troublesome matches from the late 70s right up to the mid 90s. ******************* Preston keeper Simon Farnworth a former Wanderer of the wilderness years, couldn’t stop John McGinlay sweeping the penalty home and my life was elevated into a zone of anticipation and excitement. I remember nothing about the last 15 minutes except the final whistle that brought them to an end. It also brought 10 years of misery to a conclusion.Bruce Rioch had taken us through the door to footballing respectability and I found myself on my knees in the Lever End penalty box looking up to a clear blue sky. Bolton Wanderers and Burnden Park were finally out of the lower divisions and the old pitch was a writhing mass of joy. PRESTON NORTH END 1993 ******************* Keystone cops’ football from the home side was helping the Quakers on their way. As BWFC sunk ever more deeply in to uncharted depths of lower divisions football it was an evening to wonder just when the club’s fortunes would reach rock bottom and begin to rise again. DARLINGTON 1985 ******************* Within minutes the fighting had spread to the terracing and the Lever End was a bloodbath, according to the B.E.N., bricks, darts and golf balls were thrown and the St. John’s Ambulancemen were overwhelmed. As were casualty at Bolton Royal Infirmary, with many people, mainly innocent bystanders, suffering headwounds. CHELSEA 1977 ******************* “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, digs deep in the heart and soul of the football supporter who follows his club through everything that’s thrown at them. The ups, the downs and the blows taken while following the Whites is on every page of this unique historical and social account of a club we call our own.” AW, Walkden ******************* “What a great read. For the fans who got through the 70s, 80s and 90s at Burnden Park, with its ups and downs, what a journey it was and somehow always a pleasure. My recollections over the years have blurred, but “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly” has reopened my eyes and has recreated some of those lost memories for me. Absolutely loved reading it, a great book for any Wanderers fan.” SH, Bolton ******************* “What a great read for any Bolton fan of a certain age. “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly” captures the rollercoaster ride that so many football fans will be familiar with. Amazing how easy it is to remember the Good and surprisingly the Ugly. The Bad not so much! Brings the mood of Burnden Park back to life as realistically as anything I have read.” IC, Yeadon ******************* “Very interesting history of our fantastic club. Having been to many of these matches, it brought back a lot of good (and bad!) memories. Great reminder of my youth spent following Bolton all over the country!” SH, Helsinki ******************* “Some colourful and fantastic memories from a not too distant era but a time when football was not tainted by Sky or the cleansed products of today. A proper thrills pills and bellyache memoir of old school football. A fantastic read.” GB, Euxton ******************* AVAILABLE FROM MONDAY 4TH JULY – visit www.whitelove.co.uk

Not funny at all Fucking nobs

Definitely not like Khan no, you wouldn't catch me in a shit rag top I can assure you that haha

Hi everyone @royal whitehas introduced me to this forum so thanks for that mate. I think a few of you already know about my next fight, but if not I would just like to introduce myself. My name is Alex Murphy, I'm 21 years old and I'm 3-0 as a professional boxer but most importantly I've been a Bolton fan for my whole life, my next fight is at our stadium in the premier suite on the 30th July which is an absolute dream come true for me. I'd love to get the whole club behind me for this next fight and for the rest of my career, you can message me for any info. I really appreciate all the support I've already had from the fans and look forward to hopefully meeting more of you soon.

That's Bull, surely?

I have to. He attends the same gym as me.

I would like to place on record a massive thank you to all you Bolton fans who came to Chorley today I'm. The club didn't think you would turn up in the numbers you did. You were a really good crack and enjoyed your stories outside the club ,in the Duke of York and in town. Good on you for such a large support, I hope you have really enjoyed your day at our little non league ground. Thank you BWFC Supporters

Seen one outraged on facebook last week because Grenfell was getting more coverage than the Falklands anniversary? Mind boggles

I remember it, think we won 1-0. Late 80's from memory, probably 88/89 season

You may wanna get tested then?

Superb stuff!! Well done. 👍

Was only looking through old programs earlier and found a stack of fanzines great stuff👍

Oliver?

Two Pints PRICK

Serious sackin

I think KB could be an outfield player if he put his mind to it, he’s got great feet and as you know I played him up top for 10 minutes in a friendly and he clipped one over the keeper from the half way line…. Mad thing was he was actually head up saw keeper off line and stroked a beauty over keepers head. Not sure about his dad though. 🤣

Cracking lad, unreal keeper. No doubt in my mind he will play for Chorley at a very minimum. Dads alreet too I suppose🤣

How big are her pits? 😁

Yeah Im going to distance myself from the sisterly attraction though if you don’t mind. Reminds me of a supplier I was on a corporate to Amsterdam with a few years back. He disappeared off one night and went to nail a brass. When he came back he said she was great, bit of a milf who reminded him of Helen Mirren. One of his mates then said “you always said your mum reminded you of Helen Mirren you fckin weirdo” He nodded in agreement. We’re all made different I suppose.

Nope but I’d rather be in the trenches with him than you.

Well done that man. 👏👏👏

Good thread
