Are you still here you delusional fuckwit? I look forward to normal service being resumed in future years with Bolton being one or more divisions above Blackpool (as with 1978-1985 or 1993 to 2010). There was silence from Blackpool during each of those years.People have lost interest this season. Plenty of better things to do in Blackpool on a Saturday afternoon. Remember it's Britain's number one tourist destination. You Bolton people are lucky to be positioned relatively close to it. At least you can say you went on a summer holiday in these tough times.

This is all similar to 94/5. We seemed to pick up all kinds of injuries late season that year (Simon Coleman, Richard Sneekes, Mark Patterson injured and I think Keith Branagan was suspended and we ended up with Peter Shilton in goal!). We limped in to the play offs. We played Reading at Wembley ......its alarming that we will be without ngog , spearing, and dawson, and watching highlights of brighton yesterday is a concern, they look good. but you never know lets just scrape through and fill the reebok.

Pride of Lancashire on what measure?Slight blip yesterday but we are still the pride of Lancashire

I know they had some bad experiences at Burnden in the 70s but for fucks sake the way they go on you'd think it was a trip to Galatasaray. Maybe we should get loads of banners saying "welcome to hell" just to make it feel right for them.

Barnsley and Peterborough in my opinion. Really hoped it would be Blackburn or Blackpool. Just relieved we managed such a good February and March - even an average points haul over those months would have seen us sucked in to the quicksand at the bottom end. Its been a very remarkable year in the lower half of the Championship, as the stats show.

It comes as no surprise to me that he bases his thoughts on Italian football. His whole philosophy screams Italy. Neat and tidy possession football, often unadventurous but with enough cutting edge in a game to win. We had Sam's winning football that was often (but not always) not very pleasing on the eye. We had Lee who was cavalier and defensively clueless - same with Coyle and more so as his time went on. Then there was Megson..... ! Freedman allies pragmatism with a certain amount of style. The summer will be interesting whether we go up or stay down. I do think we have found a real gem - and I don't dish out that kind of praise lightly.

Wigan still have Tottenham, City and Arsenal to play in their last seven games. West Ham and WBA away won't be easy either. I think 39 is going to be required this year.

just followed that link to the Bristol City forum to see this latest posting. "i was in there when it all kicked off, City definitely ran for the doors as soon as it went off. But there were more than 8 Bolton though, i would say closer to 30 of them". It does sound like it was a very old school day out!

Of all our local detractors, over the years, these lot are potentially the worst when it comes to empty threats and talk that comes to nothing. Their support was summed up for me: (1) in the 70s when they brought away followings of around 1000 or less on more than one occasion and (2) in the 80s when half their support skulked on to the Embankment a good 10-15 minutes after kick off to laughter from the Manny Road North. Piss poor.

No, we're not a particularly big club when compared to many. But when compared to Blackpool, yes, we are. If we finish 8th this season, our current position, that'll be our worst league placing since 93/4. Where were you all that time? I would anticipate that Blackpool have never in my lifetime had an average home attendance above Bolton's. We've had 13 Prem seasons, you've had one. We've qualified for Europe twice, you never have. Etc etc. Don't expect to be taken seriously beyond any matchday when Bolton play Blackpool.Why mention Horwich then if you are not offended. Clearly you are.
Bless... a little play off run and it's back to being massive Bolton? Let's face it you only get 4,000 more than us at home and that's with a more successful season and supposedly 'an established Premier League club'.
Big club.... my arse.
-
Yeah well you'll bring 5000 because its your cup final. This'll be your second ever visit to the Reebok and only your second to Bolton since 1993. Would you care to remind me why that was? I don't know why you persist with all this "Horwich" stuff either - given it is clearly delivered as some kind of insult. Nobody is offended.

Wigan Athletic are tin pot. Always have been, always will be. They have a good honest chairman and a very good manager who have amazing turd polishing skills. However, a turd they remain and one day it will be flushed.

I've said this before but worth repeating. Bolton didn't play Bury at all from 68-85 and during that time Bolton fans did not look upon Bury with any real dislike. It was only in 85 when we'd sunk enough to have to play them that we realised how much they hated us. Over time, and with several embarrassing defeats at Burnden, we began to reciprocate. However we've played them on only a handful of occasions since 1992. As such, most fans of recent vintage don't seem to view Bury as rivals. So ... are Bury actually rivals? Depends who you ask and when they started supporting Bolton. Personally?? Wouldn't bat an eyelid if they went bust. Goodbye, good riddance.

Not wanting to get in the way of some good old Wigan bashing but...
Was there not a similar story in the press before our semi v stoke?
How many did we sell for that?
Edit...says online we sent 6000 back,but still let's laugh at wigan,ha ha.
We sold about 28000 from memory.

Sheff Weds.
Yep, League Cup game in 1993 - 1-1 draw at Bolton. Des Walker was the most famous player I remember from that night - wearing a Wanderers shirt.

You're right. Spot on.preston sold out
we didn't
we were sat right next to their lot in the third tier on the half way line
plenty empty seats in our bit - we had the smaller end, too
i remeber us having 28 to their 33 but i might be wrong

The turd that won't flush fails to flush again. Still ...... a point isn't brilliant for them, with Arsenal, Tottenham and City away still to come.

5 mins left: 10 man QPR 1 Wigan 0. Please hold on.

Boxing Day 1978 at Blackpool would have to come in to the equation in any discussion about huge Bolton away followings in the 70s.
