wakey

I know we're all in shock, but fcuk me we've some right cases on twitter. Amongst other gems are ... "we've just won for the first time in 22 matches" - wrong. and a better one " Parky ends a run of 1 win in 27 games, which is a #bwfc record by some distance. But he is now also in second place, as after tonights win against Brum, he is on a run of 1 win in 22 games!" wrong and wrong. Can no fucker count any more.

(nearly) everyone does against us. Can't be coincidence.

We've got one of them not-defeats not draws ... thingys. One of them. Don't know what to do. What's protocol for one we get one of these?

decent half. we look as likely to score as them. Obviously, they're likely to score. We're not. But decent half.

the Welsh?

yeah, he did seem decent

I tipped them off about "a bloke I know" over here. Past his best, not played for years, and wasn't much cop back in the day. Was offered a trial ...

"if it hadn't been for 4 defensive lapses we'd have got a result against a very good team."

In my view he's sod all chance of his security standing up in admin or liquidation - wouldn't be too hard to determine that when the owner granted himself security the club was already trading insolvently and had no chance of paying it back. His past history won't earn him any leeway either. Then again, I'm not a lawyer or insolvency bod.

why would Ken choose liquidation? You do realise this means bust? like proper bust? it'll be admin first, then liquidation if nobody comes in to buy us. (or preferably sale beforehand)

Don't you hate it when someone comes round your house and messes with your shit.

Seems to have gone largely unnoticed, but Donaldson's goal yesterday disproved Newton's third law. Previously, his rate of falling over backwards was exactly equal and opposite to the simplicity of converting the chance. Expecting a full EFL investigation on yesterday's goal. And maybe NASA.

Could be the turning point of our season. The great escape ... or hefty defeats from here on in.

shock - does strange things to you.

you know them posts about fishing, chucking the bait in, needing a bigger net ... suspect there's a couple of them on Preston forums right now. Still, gives them summat to talk about.

As did Accrington Stanley many years later. And the first ever northern working class FA cup winners didn't last long either...

to be fair, they had a cracking side in the 1880s

Attendances are a decent way of judging the old "how big a club are we" given it kind of builds in success and fan base. Founder members are a bit disadvantaged as attendances for the first decade or so were pretty shite. For anyone interested, here's our average attendances and rank split into 3 periods - the first decade or so, up to abolition of maximum wage and since. 1889-1899 average 7,000, rank 9th 1900-1961 ave 21,168 rank 15th 1962-2018 15,090 rank 29th

Burrrrrrnley and Blackburrrrrn above. Wigan 8,344 Blackpool 10,924 Oldham 9,715 Huddersfield (why not) 13,472

Darlington

Bury 362

All time record? Us 16,947 Blackburn 15,823 Burrrrrrrnley 13,894

absolutely. PM me your account details and password and I'll sort it for you. What was your mam's maiden name by the way?

1889-2018 average crowds; Bolton 16,947, Preston 13,128. Seasons in top flight; Bolton 73 Preston 46 Bit unfair as we've had more seasons in the top flight. Better one; 1889-1961 Bolton 18,654 Preston 15,340. Seasons in top flight; Bolton 55 Preston 46 Still a bit unfair. Have to go back a way to even things up; 1889-1925 Bolton 14,145 Preston 10,193. Seasons in top flight, Bolton 28 Preston 28.
