2-2.
0-1 up, 2-1 down, 2-2.
Cahill, Klasnic.

Asa Hartford tipped over a shot in that game (pretty sure) but the ref didn't see it. Was my first Wanderers game in London.
Remember my dad bringing home some of these videos - didn't realise they were pre-Roadrunner. There was the Bristol City game at Wembley, Darlington away (we won 3-0) etc. Definitely Dave Higson on the commentary if my memory serves me right.
Guessing York City away when we lost 2-1, Hartford scored a screamer and it kicked off to high heaven on the terraces that day would be in that collection!
Yep - got all the games you mention there.

Forget the football, how many show a tasty bit of rucking on 'em?
That is what you should be advertising!
Nah there's nowt like that.
Ahem.

Don't have the Chesterfield game from 85/6 (that was the game Nat Lofthouse managed Bolton between Charlie Wright being sacked and Phil Neal taking over). These vids start 17 days later with Bolton 1 Wigan 2 on New Years Day 86.
The best one to watch in the collection is probably Bolton 2 Wigan 1 in the Freight Rover Northern Final at Burnden. One or two other good derby wins are included, some games with really big away followings despite the poor team and the game when we finally ended our away jinx in London with a win at Brentford (Autumn 86).
It also includes Scarborough 4 Bolton 0, the play off defeat against Aldershot (both legs) and some other seriously dismal stuff that I've watched through once and won't get played through again!

How far back where games regularly filmed by the club?
So far as I am aware it was from January 86. Though I do have one game from before that time - Bolton 1 Wigan 0 at the end of 84/5.
It wasn't actually the club who filmed it. It was a video company who did it, with the knowledge of the club. Roadrunner were the second company to do it - but by far the longest running, right through from Feb 88 to the end of 94/5 season.

I'm glad I've highlighted this important aspect for you then.
If the copyright wasn't mine, I wouldn't have posted this on here.

Who is the copyright owner?
Me. That was part of the deal when I bought the vids off the bloke who filmed all the games.

I've got video of around three-quarters of the games the Wanderers played in that glorious part of our history, January 1986 to January 1988. So that's the second half of 85/6 all of 86/7 and the first half of 87/8 in Div 4.
Its Pre-Roadrunner stuff .. but quite a few of them still have a Dave Higson commentary.
I've also got a DVD/VCR machine so can put them on to DVD if anybody wants copies of a particular game between that period (good moments few and far between!)
I'd do a bit of a charge to cover costs etc but nowt astronomical. Inbox me if you're interested.

I would have thought Ricketts will be back to fitness before Mears - but there appears to have been no update on that front.

This is obviously very bad news in itself, but the sequence of instances of really bad injury news bears all the hallmarks of a team that is going to have real relegation issues. Its similar to 97/8 when we were dogged by injuries all year (Cox, Elliott, Whitlow, Fish, Taggart) and similar to luck experienced by many relegated teams down the years - Southampton in 04/5 springs immediately to mind.
-
Why is Chelsea a jinx game? We have to play them and they usually beat us as they are a much better team. That's not a jinx team. Agree that some of there more winnable games take on a bit of additional signifiance, but no points against top 5 is nothing new, only difference being they have come together damaging low confidence even further.
I would say its a jinx game because since our first season in this spell in the Prem (2001/2) we've won 0, drawn 2 and lost 8 of our 10 home Premiership matches against Chelsea. If that isn't a jinx game, I'd love to know what is.
-
Given that next week against Chelsea at home is a jinx fixture against a top four side, Wigan away in mid October is shaping up to be a massive game for us. Throw in the fact that its a derby and they're always up for it and this one's going to be quite a Saturday afternoon.
-
Gardner and Ricketts might be left back options in future times. We certainly need options because Robinson has been sussed by Premiership managers and the amount of times balls get knocked behind him leading to him being outpaced by the opposition right winger/right sided midfielder is embarrassing.
I don't think Boyata has been that bad. Not saying right back is without issues but far more at left back.
And while we're on the subject of the back four its about time Wheater was given a run ahead of Zat Knight who is failing to reach the form levels he showed in the first two-thirds of last season.

All in the year we played most of our games at Liverpool.
Christ we've waited a long time for this day.

A genuine and authentic part of Bolton Wanderers history, RIP Mr Gubbins.
Imagine the immediate hero status a player would get now if he scored two goals in a winning Semi-Final against the Dingles.
I hope there's a proper minute's silence/applause on Saturday.

What about 1981 - taking the European Champions to extra time in a replay?
Dave Hoggan double at the city ground in a 3-3 draw. Now there's a name from the past. Decent player, lost to the USA and still lives there I believe.

Kevin Olsson referenced in that Guardian piece!

My thoughts on Saturday's game:
Your fans will all dress in black, drone nonsense songs all the way through the game, sing some daft song about "Argentina" and generally illustrate what a puerile conceited bunch of twats are attracted to your football club.
People will once again leave the Reebok knowing that if they were to be given the task of putting together "Frankenstein's Monster" person with the most annoying and vacuous attributes and personality flaws known to the human race, that person would inevitably eventually end up grinning inanely in to a camera on a Champions League night at the theatre of wet dreams while chanting "yernited".

the eighties led to the worst time in clubs history we were basically utter shit for about ten years it was hard work being a bolton fan around them times i think we even went a year without winning an away game at one point in the 3rd division think it ended at somewere like newport county away with a jeff chandler penalty but could be wrong we were a poor team back then
It was Bristol Rovers ... in either Jan or Feb. By which stage we had an away record of something like Won 0 Drawn 0 Lost 12. Just absolutely unbelievable.
Then there was the London jinx, no win in the capital from beating QPR in Div One in 1978 through to an unlikely win in 1986 at Brentford. But we went on to get relegated to the Fourth Division just to knock any cockiness out of us.
-
It was pretty grim times but it did not seem to matter that much to me I was just happy following us everywhere I some how knew we would come back, looking back that optimism was youthful optimism, thankfully it did happen but we as a club went as low as a snakes belly and only the very very few kept the faith.
We had to come back really ... but even in 82 the writing was on the wall, gates were at an all time low. I think I'm right in saying that after that Newcastle game we had about five straight defeats and were at the bottom.
-
Absolutely. I grew up supporting a fucking terrible team. I think I'd rather it was that way though. Makes me appreciate what we've had over the last decade even more.
I wonder what someone in their late teens would think if we (God forbid) slid down a couple of division, probably having only ever really known top flight football.
I wasn't quite in that position .... but I had been supporting Bolton as a kid in 1976 so had been used to far better than we were to get from 83 onwards. Stuck with it though!
Rugby Union World Cup 2011
in Behind The Stands - 'Classics'

New Zealand for me.
To be honest though - anything but Wales.
The taffs would be unbearable and I like the list of World Cup winners in Rugby Union - just England from the Northern Hemisphere currently, and that pisses off the Celtic fringe!
