  1. Not a lot around the place lads - usual fast food outlets on retail park. There's the Charles Darwin in one direction and The Brooklands in the other. Both within walking distance but for anyone staying over, the town itself is beautiful
  2. If that magician bloke off Britain's Got Talent doesn't win the final on Saturday night, he's got to be worth a phone call surely? With the other mind wrecker who did all that guff in the Beeb's coverage of the FA Cup. They could be first joint managers at Bolton since McFarland and Todd and that worked out really well IIRC? Imagine buying oooh, I dunno, let's say a Gary Madine type and them pair making him play like Ibrahimovic? Get's my vote anyroad
  3. I'm bald and so is my dad. Neither of us has had any contact with anyone from Bolton Wanderers concerning the managerial vacancy
  4. I've seen over 30 League One games this season. Some good, some bloody awful. But there are some really good players at this level - Ajose, Danny Mayor at Bury and Jack Payne of Southend just three names that stand out. Teams will love going to the Macron. It takes time for teams to gel and with a completely new look side we can't afford to be playing catch up. Plus they're taking no momentum with them either. The pain may well be prolonged I'm sad to say
  5. I was in a box with 3 BWFC fans and half a dozen Clarets. They were told before the game not to celebrate but they were so fucking lucky, you could hardly blame them for jumping around like loons. Kick in the nads but we're so toothless up top you just knew what would happen if Grey managed to stay onside after getting a bit giddy on several occasions 5/6 yards offside sometimes. Heard an interesting tale re our proposed new Chairman: that Wimbledon had few admirers for DH and the best bid they had received for anyone was £750k. Up strolls Toddy and offers them five times as much. After much deliberation (10 seconds) the proverbial arm was ripped off. Save for Anelka and Cahill, is there anyone that we haven't spunked a load of dosh on for pitiful returns? PS: Really good performance yesterday, you don't always get what you deserve in football. But over the course of a season, the table doesn't lie. Sad fact is, we're down and it will be a bloody long road back
  6. RIP Phil. Now not the time for questions. Just respect. A Wanderer. Like us.
  7. Redfearn's last kick pen for Oldham on last day in 1990 v Sheff Weds (took them up) cost me 5 grand in an acca. So on that basis he is absolutely still a cunt. And always will be. Eaves og 90+7 wins it for them. 4-5
  8. The car park and any subsequent LAND sales. Are we all happy that the monies are going to the football club and not its benefactor for the past 13 years?
  9. Tonge Moor - yeah but not next season as our lot are going down n all
  10. Wanderer through and through but been working for a current League 1 club for 9 years now. In that time - most of it spent in L2 - I've seen a lot of lower league football and it's going to be really hard for us. There are plenty of good sides down here and clubs with bigger fan bases than ours that have struggled to make the kind of impact you might expect of a 'bigger club.' Coventry, Sheff United, Pompey are all decent examples of this. Macron will be the best stadium in the division and teams will raise their game against us. There are also some bloody good managers down there. Neil McDonald (now where did he come from?) is performing miracles at Blackpool, Nigel Adkins at the Blades, Clough continuing the good work done by JFH at Burton, Tony Mowbray, Phil Parkinson, somebody Brown... take your pick. Things are grim in BL6. Ultimately where I'm at right now, is that somehow we can come out of this with a football club to support and in its current guise. You can't let almost 140 years of history simply disappear and if relegation is the worst that comes out of this - even a double relegation - I'd rip your arm off for that. As an aside, I was reliably informed yesterday by someone who is highly regarded in the game and has fantastic contacts in Lancashire, that any LAND deals would go directly to ED and not to the football club.
  11. yer fucked if all you can take on the pitch with you is 11 Nigel Reo Coker's
  12. Games that really stick out in my mind at Burnden highs and lows (and date order and accuracy may be a touch patchy so forgive), this one Miami remember someone being walked around perimeter by Embankment with a dart hanging out of his head, a 3-4 home defeat against Carlisle on a Tuesday neet which cost us in the end, Fulham League Cup tie when Bobby Moore walked his team off the pitch for a bit, Blackpool at home in 74 after that stabbing on the Kop, when they yanked down some lettering with a piece of rope attached to a Maggees Ales advert. That were some retaliation and cost us 20 quid to put right. Sam's Header from St Peters Way to beat the Mackems in front of 42,000, THAT Newcastle 3-3 in front of 46,000, floodlight failure v Everton in 2nd leg and Latchford's header right in front of me from a Goodlass cross with 50,000 on - McKenzie hit corner flag with a pen in 2nd half - a League Cup tie at home to dirty Leeds (lost 1-3 I think) with bottles raining down all night long on Embankment, swapping ends with the Chels when they took the Lever End (76?), Crystal Palace 74 (W 2-0) as my first ever game on Lever End, Man U (0-1) in 75 watching from back of Manny Rd Stand as the red fuckers swarmed back up towards Greyhound track, Wolves 0-1 in 77, beating Forest 1-0 in FAC when we were shit and they were European Champions, Spurs 6-1 League Cup, the last match obvs, new floodlights for Cov at home in LC when they wore all brown, Mansfield at home (Ian Greaves was their manager) in FRT when we lost but I despaired at seeing the Embankment half ripped up for first time, Aldershot (say no more).... I'll have forgotten loads but it was great. So sad they way it ended with the fire. Fantastic memories though way too many to list. Before money took over and ruined the working mans sport
  13. we're gonna win the Cup ee ai edio....
  14. Wanderers fans having to shift portaloos so the groundsman could get his tractor onto the pitch and spread some sand so EFC could get this game on around 1 o'clock. Bet each and every one of them spilled more sweat in those few minutes than these salary thieves have managed all season. So sad to see a once proud club floundering like this
