Ani Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 find the caption competition from when they got relegated ? a picture of one of the little princes with a west ham shirt ?
Guest hammers Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 No, but I might have a picture of one of your lot crying when you were relegated at the Boleyn in 1996...
Henrick_Pedigol Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 I thought we got relegated at home to Southampton in 1996
Guest hammers Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 I thought we got relegated at home to Southampton in 1996 Nope, officially at the Boleyn in April 1996. Cottee scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win, was chatting to a Bolton fan in the queue for the station after the match about it.
mickythehippo Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 frankly I'd thought we'd moved on from this level but by all means start it all up again

Cottee scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win, was chatting to a Bolton fan in the queue for the station after the match about it. Nope mathematically it was after Southampton at home. http://www.geocities.com/nigelsheppard/bwf...1990/page7.html

You were relegated at our place that season and finished 9 points off safety..
jayjayoghani Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Listen pal. I was sat in a hostel in Australia watching Bolton play Southampton and relegate us. Not West Ham at Upton Park. As I'm sure you'll agree, this kind of memory doesn't really erode with time.
jayjayoghani Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 http://archive.thisislancashire.co.uk/1996.../29/854164.html From the Bolton Evening News First published Monday 29th Apr 1996. WANDERERS 0 SOUTHAMPTON 1 THE axe finally falls. After weeks in the comdemned cell, Wanderers' relegation fate is sealed. It was inevitable and, with QPR, Coventry and Manchester City all winning, purely academic. Sadly they went out with a whimper when they had hoped to end on a high note.
Casino Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 we were relegated in december at home to coventry as i remember it so tears at easter? hardly
Ani Posted February 17, 2006 Author Posted February 17, 2006 anyway............anyone got that picture ? we were relegated the moment messers todd and mcfarland were invovled.

The fat lady wasnt singing but she was sure whistling loudly!
Guest Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 But that link tells us nothing but your results for that season. You were relegated at our place that season and finished 9 points off safety.. Dont comment on things you obviously know fu(k all about and are just making it up to try and get a cheap rise

We were relegated at home to southampton - so why would there have been tears at Upton Park?

Guest as Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 I remember that Southampton game - now that was an atmosphere...................but I woudn't call it a pleasant one. :-$ The older lads in the paddock were fighting with each other during the game, missiles were being thrown into the away end & after the match eveyone made their way to the away car park, only for the police and dogs to be out waiting for them. Memories PB
Burndens Bogs Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 If i remember rightly 3 years ago Bolton did not actually put West Ham down,but our game at the Reebok did have a massive say. West Ham went down at Birmingham,and we survived against Boro on the last day of the season.

West Ham went down at Birmingham,and we survived against Boro on the last day of the season. Correct. We actually went above you after our penultimate game for about 2 hours. By playing that game 2 hours after ours, you had a massive advantage that day. Still, like the murphys - I'm not bitter!

We drew at Southampton, if it had nt been for the MASSIVE advantage we may have thought we would have been ok just losing !! How the fcuk was it an advantage ?
mickythehippo Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 we were finshed off at Brum, I was there, although Bolton's result elsewhere was important this is boring

So its not an advantage knowing our result and that a draw would be good enough for you? Had both games KO'd at the same time, your mental mind may have been different and you could have played for a win rather than a draw...
