Yes it's the backside one. I think someone else is sending it me but thanks. The Tripe N Trotter edition from the same period has Sasa on the front with the caption End of an Ero

Neil wrote this in July 1999. It suggests that the site existed before it moved to Rivals (and then moved back). It is the bit from 1999 that I need to know about i.e. before it went to Rivals Today sees WanderersWays turn 20 years. Back then in 1999 the internet wasn’t a big thing and certainly no BWFC sites existed. I’d like to think we have come a long way since those early days and thanks to you we have been successful in many fronts. when I first set the site up it was published using Microsoft FrontPage if anyone remembers that? Then it was it was the turn of Dreamweaver for a while, then phpbb as the forum took off so that members could interact. Then another PHP content management software that allowed pages and a forum. I was approached by Rivals.net back in 2001 and moved the site to them for a successful 3 years, however I took the bold step to be a fully independent site again. All members followed WanderersWays back again, this time using the software we still use today, which I must say is perhaps one of the best out there.

After my initial research, I've come to the conclusion that WW was the first Bolton forum and launched in July 1999. Do any of you know much about its origins, how it came about, what the early days were like etc? I want to mention it in my upcoming book but struggling to find much about it. Thanks Also desperately after a certain edition of Tripe N Trotters (August 1997 - Sasa Curcic on the cover) and White Love (August 1997 - Female backside on the cover) if anyone can lend/sell/scan one of each for me, would be helpful

Ah right. I was just going to have a few in Stoke. Burslem is a bit of a dive

Care to elaborate?

Need one more if anyone has spare

Many Bolton in? None in Rochdale next stop either Summit or Oldham

The Summit probably is, but barely in Royton. Fair enough. Might do spoons in Rochdale then one at the Summit on route

Was very little in the Berkely. A guy got hit just outside the car park, then a few of the Scunny lot threw a few punches at people in the car park, missing may I add. They then ran off towards town.

Can't think of anywhere in Royton that will be open before the game.

Why are the Megson knockers making out that Meite was some sort of world beater? He was poor, made many mistakes, and is a sulky arse. Not sure if Shittu is any good, but as back up, I am happy enough. Some people expect us to spend ?11m on every player we sign

Champs: Chelsea Bolton 16th Bottom 3 - West Brom, Stoke, Wigan

Friendly games mean nothing. Wait until 10 mins into Stoke game before the Megson out, Elmander shit chants begin!!!!!! Seriously, now that people seem to be behind Megson (not me), he must be given a year to mould his team

Not bothered to see him go. 1 great game 10 bad ones. Now let us get a more consistant wide man

Worst 2 Shilton (Stoke away) slumping to the floor on the penalty The yank who got injured in the FA Cup (Blackburn link)?

Not good enough sadly. Welcome to him

I think we will be safe, but struggle. I just don't see where the goals will come from (again) We have replaced Nic with a worse player We have not brought in the players to provide for the front men Still time, but a struggle I fear

I doubt they have ever heard of market research. All seems like a bit of a rush to me. Do you think the original sponsor pulled out and reebok stepped in but only if we had this shambolic effort from their rejects room?

We MUSt get a left back in. Our two are shambolic. Other than that (and a lack of depth), it looks a solid enough first 11, but I still fear a serious lack of goals

I have always been amazed at how negative a lot of fans are towards Eddie. We are not a fashionable club, we will not attract a Russian billionaire. Eddie has neevr said he was Jack Walkers or anyone else. Without Eddie, I am certain we would not be Premier League and would not have seen half of the quality players we have over the past few years. We have spent well, while not damaging our debt further. Great owner

Jussi Steinsson Cahill O'Brien Gardner Diouf Nolan Muamba Taylor Davies Elmander You think? Diouf won't be here for a start Al Hasabi Steinsson Cahill O'Brien NEW SIGNING Muamba Davies Nolan NEW SIGNING Taylor Elmander

Guthrie good squad player gamble if ?1m Nothing more. To say he is better than Nolan is hardly any sort of endorsement

WTF, so just because you are in a relegated team you are no good?????? Guthrie did ok, but only OK, nothing more. I would take a gamble for ?1m, but no more. He is a hard working grafter with little else to offer at this stage.

I think 90% of all signings for any club say this usual scripted crap. You would hardly sign and say, 'well the manager seemed like a real prick who has no ambition, but the money wasn't bad'

FSA was 8-1-1 Megson is 10-0-0 I don't hate every manager. I hate managers who have big egos, shaft the fans and treat players like shit. I hope you lot remember what he did to us in the UEFA. Megson did not keep us up, the players did
