The history thing is interesting as time inevitably moves on. There's fully fledged adult Bolton fans who will start university next year who were not born when we played Guimaraes for example. Most older fans would be happy to go say that 29 years ago when we had the LC and playoff finals in a few months of each other is "recent" history that laid the basis for what came after. People would also realistically say you could go back another 30 years and Shankly transforming Liverpool has direct modern relevance. But another 30 years? Well why not; Herbert Chapman transformed Arsenal and the game in general - and he got that gig after setting Huddersfield up for the 3 titles in a row. So to a certain extent you can keep going and trace direct lines to the modern game. Thing is, maybe a good starting point then is the 23 Cup Final when a national stadium was built for the first time, 300k turned up inside or out of it, and we there. 100 years ago, but as i say you can trace direct lines to the modern game and modern clubs fortunes back to then. So even if being there on day one of the league is pushing it a bit in terms relevance other than purely historical, 23 isn't and we should be proud of that; and stuff that we and others have done since, even though it's a century's worth of football, still "counts" to the legacy and "size" of current clubs. After all, there's 15k+ people (enough to sell out Peterborough's ground) alive in the UK now who were also alive that day in 1923.

Thing is they can appear draconian in punishment while not really hurting them. They'll argue that the CL is out of their jurisdiction so they carry on that for that season; dock them an unusually high number of points (15 say) that will still mean they would qualify for Europa or maybe even CL; fine them a humungous amount that would cripple most clubs but that theirs owners can find in lose change behind the sofa; then say it's a "line in the sand" and the slate is wiped clean. They then just carry on regardless. The only thing that would really annoy the owners is if they were stripped of titles, but that aint happening.

Well yon mon is a striker called Titan Agung, so if the Bhavangkara keeper throws it to him during an Indonesian league game, he's reaching a moon of Saturn. Shits on yer Mars for distance 😀 Titan Agung - Wikipedia

Aye, though sooner of later someone will twig they can have a club with history and a massive potential fan base in south London. Bit of proper investment....

Still think Orient could squeeze in - they're got an easy last two games and before then play Posh, Derby and Lincoln (as well as home to Exeter and Cheltenham). We could be back down that shit heap again early May.

And whoever is in goal for L.A. invariably throws it to another Galaxy

Ipswich keeper around 2000 regularly threw it to Venus

5 years probably

"We've Never Won at Walsall" sounds like a new Bolton forum. Mind you, if it took off but then we won a game at Walsall, it'd be a bit fucked 😃

When I looked earlier it implied all money goes to Alder Hay hospital. Now it says any damages awarded will go to them...

Breaking news, they apparently dumped a lot of them in the Humber. But at least they took the time to mark their sea graves.

It's a scene from Carry On Rucking - Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey as spotters down the front.

Away wounds count double

And the Isle of Man

Reminds me of the Mansfield game almost exactly 3 years ago when we came back from 2 down to win and it really kicked us on....

That's where this came in. "Finger-through"? You'd need a diamond drill bit to get through this.

Cheers Cassie and Mounts 👍

Reet, if there's another ST holder I'm buying for, how do I do it for seats together - they're in my network, but the last attempt for Orient seemed random and gave two tickets dotted around....

He's drinking heavily after the shock of him discovering it. I leave it to you to decide which one he is (but I'm going for Wilson). WW's members as Dad's Army characters - now there's a thought........

Thing is, they're all genuine and there's plenty more. Almost makes me want to go 🙂 Sounds like a great place for a fly on the wall documentary.

If Tripadvisor is anything to go by it hasn't improved! : The Chernobyl of holiday parks! This resort is reminiscent of Prepyat Fair, the abandoned funfair overlooking the polluted lake of Chernobyl. Apart from a recently-added facility (The Venue) in the centre (a little like the arrival of Chernobyl's Sarcophagus), there has been no investment in years; this is a sad, aging resort creaking under the weight of its own administration, poor hygiene - and the sort of guests that don't appear to care. So, in the effort to escape the onslaught of bingo, arcade machines and edgy drunkenness, we ventured outside. Here, smoking is so prevalent (no area for non-smokers appeared to exist - or at least, be respected) that I couldn't take the kids out for air. Approaching the back of the building (which also houses the swimming pool), the smell shifted from tobacco to the sweet waft of what appeared to be an unusual blend of pool chlorine and marijuana. We then walked past a fight in progress in our quest for a cleaner toilet. Did I mention it was only 9pm? Meanwhile, standing in huge shallow yellow puddles at the steel urinal trough, a (smoking) gentleman beside me dropped his cigarettes into the drain - which was backed up with urine. No problem: he simply fished the packet out with his hand, shook it, and put the box back in his pocket. In summary, if you fancy exploring a holiday site frozen in time [the 1980's, just after No. 4 Reactor exploded], getting drunk and vomiting over yourself, or holding in your poo for days on end, I can thoroughly recommend Billing Aquadome. It really will leave an indelible memory. But if you've got kids, enjoy clean facilities, and expect a holiday resort to invest in its own upkeep, you may want to give this one a wide berth. Late at night after reception closed caravans would come on the field and disappear before reception opened ( security are you too frightened or are you being slipped a little bribe to ignore what is going on?) We didn’t go out anywhere as we were worried about leaving our property alone. Seriously it’s a joke! Date of stay: May 2023 Trip type: Travelled as a couple Room Tip: Choose.somewhere else.

Found it

When I first moved to th'east midlands the A50 wasn't open so all trips to the game would be via M1 up to Leeds. Always made me laugh to see a sign (as heading south not long after you get on to it from M62). Very informative. Just said "Barnsley. London". As if to the Yorkies Barnsley was centre of all and then they reluctantly added "that there London". Do you still see signs for Billing Aquadrome south of here? I wonder if it's improved since this: Shit, Thieving Hotels. - Page 2 - Behind The Stands - Wanderers Ways. Neil Thompson 1961-2021

or after dissent the opposition captain gets a christmas card and can bring an extra player on for 10 minutes (if the ref's a bit unsure he can hand him a visa card and the sub has to be foreign)
