Must admit though, I started picking and choosing away games rather than doing as many as I could. Mostly Lancashire Derbies (and there seemed to be a glut of them!)
Guest Uncle_Northy Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 The walk up manny road after aldershot had sent us down to the 4th had me thinking is this what football is all about . twas a kick in the teeth that day ,and on my return back to the vic , i replied never again .... but i was there for the 1-1 draw against crewe

HAPPY SHOP PIG Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 79/80 did lose interest after watford play off debacle until todd f??cked off
Guest TonyCee Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Never ever ever. But i must admit joining in with the "Allardyce Out" chants at Cambridge Utd in Jan 2000 FA Cup 4. A week after Tranmere in Coca.
Guest YouriDjorkaeff13_06 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I was born in 1987 , my dad watched the wanderers then, n told me of the dark days in like the late 80's , rather interesting. dark days to me a guess are probly losing to the likes of crew( fcukin rodny jack!) at the reebok in 1999 n the likes of grimsby! how times have changed, my mates have only bin wanderers fans since like 2002! before that it wasnt cool to support the whites ! a guess i was un-cool , obviously not, they'v all jumped on the band waggon now! ha ha WANDERERS TILL I DIE!

Whites man Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Started going in 82/3, the first season in the old Third, never thought of giving up, that's 100% honest.
Guest Uncle_Northy Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Started going in 82/3, the first season in the old Third, never thought of giving up, that's 100% honest. Not when we was playing chester, with 3,000 on burnden and it was pissing down
egwhite Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I dunno I've had some of the best days out when we were in the lower divisions (Southend was a UEFA equivalent). Football used to get in the way of a good day out. I've had my low points but after a few pints I don't usually give a crap. I couldn't face giving up and spending the rest of my Saturdays pushing a trolley round ASDA or saying "yeah, you look lovely in that love" Naa you can't beat a day on the pop at the footy, whatever the result.

For some reason I have the that twwat Fjortoft celebration in my head when he opened the scoring for Swindon in the semi final at Burnden! Then a Mixu screamer when he came on as sub!

ANDY !!! my owd late granfather and my nan were teenage sweethearts when they they went to the first fa cup at wembley . they then followed bolton all over the country , they was season ticket holders in the lever end ,when i was in nappies . they never went to a bolton match after the charlton game . The shitbok was not home ,as my owd granfather put it.
Smiley Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Don't get me wrong, I've stood on terraces piss wet through thinking - are all those knobs at school / work who have no interest in football actually right minded? There's times I've driven back from matches and thought - why did I bother. The last time I can honestly say that was when we lost at Leeds in our 2nd season in the Premiership (Beardsley was playing for us that day). I remember driving home thinking - I have just spent all my weekends money on that shite - and now I have to go home and spend Saturday in front of shite like Family Fortunes and Blind Date.... when I should be out on the piss. And to be honest, since then, I really have chosen my away games..... which have gradually got less and less. 3 seasons ago I did just one away game (Blackburn) last season just 2 and this season just 1 so far. I didn't have a ST at Reebok after the first season and really did pick and choose my games. At the minute, I'm disillusioned again. But going back to the darker days of the mid to late 80s and early 90s, no, I cannot say I wanted to jack it in. I enjoyed being shite, cos somewhere, around the corner, I knew the sun would shine on this football club again. I just wish I'd not been working on the day we won at Wrexham. That is one of the biggest regrets (and missing Pisa) that I have since watching BWFC.
egwhite Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Was only 17 at the time but will never forget it 88/89 season I think. Olivers all night and then to the Albion, to be met by a 7 1/2 tonne van. Driver barking at us "you young uns get to the building site round the corner and nick us some diesel" Crammed in like Sardines we were all the way down to Borough Market for opening time. Then left at closing time for Southend. What a day out there Bolton took over the prom. Never forget everyone in this pub on the front, the DJ put Housemartins happy hour on and the placed started jumping.
SatanGreavsie Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 12 years ago almost to the day, we'd just lost to Oldham in the FA Cup quarters and I was living in Southampton at the time so I'm on the platform at Bolton station thinking "we've just fucked up, it's pissing down, I'm soaked and it'll be 1.30 in the morning before I get home"...and I did wonder why I bother. But I'd kept going through all the 80s despite living in London, so I could hardly stop really....
