My son has been carefully shielded from the evil temptations of following a top Premier team. It has been difficult, a steady decline, too young to appreciate our European adventure, the difficult years of Mugson, Coyle, Freedman Lennon, Financial meltdown and selling off the family silver and 2 relegations. This season he has seen ghee Wanderers develop into a team that you could be proud to support. To travel away and come back with the points.
Now 15 and this year he has truly joined the ranks of our Wanderers for life and now has that badge 'I was there when'. He has been chomping at the bit to be involved in a celebration pitch invasion. I stopped him at Port Vale but yesterday he took 3 non fan mates from school and joined the invasion....so did I. He has spent the last 12 hours replaying videos of the day and relieving his best ever football experience.
Thank you Bolton Wanderers, you have created a new generation of fanatical supporters and made us all very proud to be Wanderers again.
