Traf Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Yeah, it's quite wet here in East Lancs right now, about 7.5 miles from Accy as the crow flies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 5 minutes ago, mattbwfc19 said: Never seen us play at Wembley as I'm a lot younger than most on here. Will be there tonight and if we win will 100% be at Wembley, and I'm sure 99% of younger bolton supporters will be there aswell. Said this before but it’s not even the proper younger ones. Anyone that’s 27/28ish might have been there for Stoke but likely will have been a family trip and not a full experience as an adult (mates on the piss etc.). I think plenty will be surprised if we do get there by how many we take, purely from a novelty perspective for the 30 and younger crowd (and probably loads of mates and mates mates that just fancy the day out). It’s one of the reasons why I think it would reduce the attendance if we then got to the play off final (obviously ifs and buts) because there will likely be a couple of thousand that aren’t exactly massive fans but there for the novelty factor, which wouldn’t be there if we go again in May.

Official car park has been taken over by Sky Obviously it depends on which direction you need to go after the game, but if you come out of the away end and ignore your instincts to go right, the coaches will be to your left and further down towards the allotments and the housing estate is usually a good place to park (for me, anyway!)...

Semi away from home at a ground we’ve a poor record at with a number of starters out… opinion might change if Dempsey and/or Jerome make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I’m not that nervous about this, not that I feel complacent that we will win or anything, just not overly bothered if we lose. The chance to win a trophy at Wembley is appealing but I think the biggest benefit from it will be the experience it gives the players for if we make it to Wembley for the playoffs final… in the grand scheme of things the league/playoffs are the main focus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Arrested development said: You won't be going because you saw us lose to stoke ? For me it's the exact opposite. I want to get back there to make sure I see Bolton win at the new wembley. The thought of that game being the only time I see Bolton at Wembley makes me sick. You weren't there in '95 or '04? I was. FFS I begged my dad to take me in '58 but I was only a nipper and he couldn't afford it anyway. If we get through I'll try and talk myself into it - but if we then lose it will clearly be your fault Edited February 22, 2023 by Wanderlust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostock Whites Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 It's only the EFL trophy but it's still a trophy, and one to add to our cabinet! We are a big club and hopefully we could add some more major trophies in my lifetime. Those Wanderers fans in the 20s and 50s were a lucky bunch indeed!

I’m not sure we are, or we’re ever, a big club. Obviously it’s subjective, and we are massive in Leagues 1 and 2, but just normal or smaller after that.

Hopefully Dempsey is fit. Not sure it is a game to bring Lego head back after injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
