Id guess

Yeah, only because they got mentioned the other day and I'm convinced the goals highlights were from a camera behind the goal at the other end or something 

@SatanGreavsie found some highlights from down the side but I'm convinced they had footage from behind a goal which looked like it was filmed by someone sat in the stand

I havent watched them all back yet but from memory , we got a full 90 seconds on the late night highlight programme and as I recall all the goals were filmed from behind one end . This was back in the day where is was a one camera set up and told where to film from . Ill check it out .

Please do 

I've got flashbacks of Mike Marsh knocking one in from 100 yards away in the opposite end and I'm sure I didn't dream it

My other memory was a replay angle of one of our goals at the 4-2 Bradford away win where you could see loads of Bolton jumping up and cheering in the home end down the side

You not thinking of when we got beat 2-1? 92/93 think mcginlay scored keeper kicked it off him and into the net, loads of Bolton in the main stand 

Edited by radcliffe white

Are there highlights anywhere of the 4-4 Tuesday night game at Bratfud? Think we had 2 sent off and them 1? That was a bonkers match

In the 4-2 there's a few in their stand behind the goal as well as down the side

Think it was Thommo's goal that showed it best

Id say he is. Im on the telly with my dad in the Bradford end. Bryan Edwards got us who was then the physio at Bradford.

The 4-2 was live on Sky. It absolutely pissed down. 

 

2-2 at Bradford was live on Sky (Gunlauggson and Blake?)

The 4-2 win was a 3pm KO iirc and not live

The 2-2 was on sky and it pissed it down 

Early kick off on a Sunday 

We were stood outside a pub waiting for it to open, landlord comes out and says we have to go through the back as it was opposite a police station 

Get in and there's loads of Bradford fans well into their pints so don't know what time they got there

Lee Mills scored for them

Nah, definitely 96/97 

I've watched the highlights of that season 00s of times

4-2 was a Saturday afternoon fairly early doors into the season, not on SKY

If @Krimzon does me a DVD of "Table Topping Start" I'll get it uploaded to YouTube

Was Mike Marsh not still at Liverpool then ? he played for them against us in the FA Cup ?

Also if anyone has any tapes that i dont already have , Ill buy them and have them transferred as well and add to the list.

One of the most depressing seasons in the history of Bolton Wanderers FC.

Can’t see the DVD being a best seller

Out of morbid curiosity I wouldn't mind watching that.

Don't think Ive seen any footage of the Aldershot debacle.

Need all of these loading up to YouTube!

I agree , no idea how to do it . Im paying approx £11 per tape transfer and they are for my personal collection . I can and have paid to have them all put on a usb stick mainly to help with editing notes from the recorded highlights programmes mainly cos people clammered for the battle of Burnden highlights and such and the Lofty This is your life. 

The original roadrunner and touchline tapes will be going on ebay , anyone with more know-how than me could do it themselves. Its daft for me to have my personal collection on 4 different formats .

I'll happy upload dvds to YouTube 

Though I've realised I may not have a laptop with a dvd / cd tray as such things are pretty out of date 

I'll check and if I do, I'll take care of the uploads if you take care of the DVDs
