Proper White

When they are playing shit or great, poor or excellent, indifferent or sublime the only class thing to do is get behind them and support. In fact if they are playing shit, support more.

I am a realist so understand that this is modern football and we have to reluctantly 'accept' it. But I am shocked that anyone says that they don't care about the name of the ground? Seriously? I am gutted that our 'home' has to be cheapened and devalued in this way. To me, it's sacred.

This comment from Dougie in February (Bolton News) sums it up: "This is my apprenticeship as a manager" And don't we know it.

To all 2300 plus fans that went to this, that was amazing support. Proud. Just one request though please....could you all get a season ticket in the North Lower next season? Imagine having that kind of atmosphere at home as well as away!?

Good post....Palace were suffering from a poor atmosphere at Selhurst & their fans decided to have a go and try and make a difference. They have done well. In my opinion, a decent atmosphere definitely makes the day miles better for everyone and its obvious that players can respond. To me it would be fucking amazing to develop a reputation for getting behind the lads no matter what. We can't change the manager, the team or the tactics so why not do the one thing we can do and get behind 'em. I wish you well if you do decide to have a go at creating something positive for the club.

Great collection, top find. What's the Super John McGinlay vid 3 in from top right? Don't think I've seen that before?

Great post bowtun baked. Couldn't agree more re: knight and booers. Our job is supporting. The clue is in the name.

It appears that 4 people have voted for Steve Kean. Absolutely amazing.

It wasn't such a bad performance against a team worth about 20 times as much as ours, Premier League Champions and away from home. The problem is we now have that horrendous run of games again so the recent confidence boost of a couple of wins may disappear so the support given can make a big difference I reckon. I was very proud of our fans on Saturday, yes it wasn't a massive following (but at ?43 it's understandable) but they backed the team throughout and never once turned on them. They also got behind Owen Coyle again which must have been great for him to hear that he is still being backed. Contrast that to Blackburn and our support of our manager through these tough times is something to be very proud of when the easiest thing in the world would be to start the Coyle Out nonsense.

This really is great news. Well done to all for getting this going. For all of us to have a chance to contribute is also a great touch. I will be proud and humbled to know that I (along with many fellow Boltonians and Wanderers fans) have contributed to the long lasting memory of Bolton's greatest son. Looking forward to the community getting together to get behind this wonderful project.

Top post Blixa. Glad to see this kind of opinion still exists out there.

Coyle has all of the attributes needed to be a top BWFC manager. He needs more time to get through the current difficulties. The guy loves BWFC and we need to support him through thick and thin. Let's not give up on him now, it won't help. In my opinion, it shouldn't even be a question until the end of the season. In Coyle we Trust. (Well I do anyway). COYWM.

In my opinion Owen Coyle is definitely still the right man. We are going through a change of styles, loss of key players to injury, no funds to replace and a terrible start to the season in terms of fixtures which knocked confidence. The guy loves BWFC, was a popular ex-player, has done well elsewhere, treats the fans with nothing but respect, comes across well and has bags of potential. His football philosophy is also to play football on the ground which eventually he will be able to deliver in time. If we back him through this difficult spell now, I am sure it will pay off in the long term. What he needs from the fans is support, big time. In the face of the adversity, it is much better if we get behind him. COYWM.

I grimace reading garbage like this. Other fans from other clubs see this make judgements about our club based on absolute dogsh!t like this. I really get the impression that he must crave defeats and heavy losses so he can have a good old fight with his keyboard again. Embarrassing.

A superb season. Top 10 finish and an FA Cup Semi Final. Absolutely magnificent achievement with a lack of resources and one of the lowest supported teams in the league. Well done OC, hope you are here for the long term to build on this.

Brilliant....!! Cheers Spirit. There's your anthem McFly!

Good stuff....that would be excellent. I think the club has tried to move on a bit too much with the stadium move/badge change etc... Our club has great history and something like this would recognise that. "Valdaree, Valdarah.." Any club lurkers.....please consider. Its about finding something that connects.

Totally 100% agree. I thought that would naturally happen after the Chelsea game and the excellent tribute pre-match.

Like it...one of our best songs and almost unique to us but even that one is sung elsewhere I'm afraid. Liverpool sing it and started before us.

OC is surprised at the lack of atmosphere at t'Reebok compared to what he remembers at Burnden and has got involved (as per tonights BEN story). Goal music and drummers are embarrassing, as is the pathetic 'cheat' chant along with small time 'who are ya' garbage. But I can understand why the club are trying to do something as the atmosphere is woeful (and I still don't fully understand why). But it would be decent if we had some kind of anthem. Problem is...the club can't tell the fans what it is....the fans have to do it themselves as per 'The Lords My Shepherd' at WBA or Delilah at Stoke. Will that ever happen at BWFC?

What? You aren't serious. He is the most odious red filth of all time. And he hates Bolton along with his contemptable brother. Scum beyond belief.

It's one of the most important symbols that represents our identity. It should perfectly represent everything we stand for. That is not ribbons. It is our town and Lancashire. Both should be represented so that we can wear it with pride. Like others on here, I have never bought anything with the ribbons. It's the most embarrassing badge in the country. Other club fans also tell me this when I talk to them. It should be changed as a matter of urgency and with Sir Nat's sad passing we have a perfect opportunity to do so.

for info....link to song (or if it doesn't work, go to you tube and search on houghton weavers, lion of vienna).

Great stuff. It should be re-recorded/or original put on itunes. All proceeds to statue fund or other worth Nat related cause. I reckon there would be thousands of downloads. If others agree, please reply so that the club are aware of the possible support. We also finally get our club anthem at the same time.

Some funny memories of Burnden, first of all, home fans vs Oldham and Neil Pointon (wife had an affair): - who sh@gged pointons wife who sh@gged pointons wife, everybody, everbody, we sh@gged pointons wife - who put his d*** in Pointons wife..Super John McGinlay..., Super, Super John etc. - she's here, she's there, she's evry f****g where Pointons wife, Pointons wife Poor old Pointon - he looked shattered, felt sorry for him, songs could be heard clear as day. and the Villa fans where funny in their pi$$ take of Normid: - Super, supermarket, super, supermarket (whilst pointing) - there's only one Kwik save, there's only one Kwik save and my favourite (we were bottom of the league at the time): - youre going down with the prices, down with the prices
