Exactly the same, I'd always supported BWFC but what happened that day sticks in my mind forever and i didn't even go to the game. Had been to a school game somewhere in the Manchester area, a couple of teams usually traveled together , us 11 year olds and probably some older lads in another team.
Traveling back on the coach (you went in school uniform even on a Saturday) a couple of kids had Bolton scarfs and it was entertainment to waves these around in the windows in the Manchester suburbs, you'd get the odd wave of an old lady or the odd fingers from some local scroats.
Approaching manny rd we were practicing holding the scarfs up as we passed Burnden it was probably only 11:45 -12:00ish, traffic was very slow and as we got near Burnden black & white everywhere, thousands of fat Geordie's all the way up Manny rd into town.
Well the atmosphere on a coach full of excited 11 year olds banging on the windows and winding up grown men was addictive.
That afternoon we went to play football on Haslem Park and you could hear the roar above the traffic from up Deane.
