Still, a lot has happened in the 20 years since. We both had away wins in the first week of December. Our's was at Red Star Belgrade; their's was at Salisbury.

Was there for home leg, stood on Burnden Terrace. Fookin mare! gutted

I hate Aldershot to this day.

How did Asa Hartford stay on the pitch?

And their managers haircut - surely that wasn't fashionable - even in those days?

The guy that introduces the game is now a presenter on SSN.

Who was there then?

I wasn't, but have painful memories of the 2nd leg

A day I have tried to erase from my memory, along with Tranmere '91, so thanks for reminding me ;-)..... After the 2nd leg I didn't speak from the final whistle until I was on Moncrieffe Street over the railway bridge, when my mate said something along the lines of "it's not the end of the world". I think the look on my face said everything that needed to be said in reply, and funnily enough we didn't go to a match together again after that....... didn't their team coach get trashed after the match?

it was sitting on the carpark and someone lobbed a brick through the windscreen.

Behind the goal with no cover, and the 2nd leg Manny Road North......two days I still want to forget

and our "supporters" have the cheek to moan when we lose the odd game here and there in the Premiership.

We would have won if they hadn't knobbled Dave 'The Cat' Felgate. PLayed on one leg for majority of the game

I remember people leaving after 90 minutes and being told to stay put because the away goals only counted after extra time.

Sad day indeed, puts it all into perspective. Sutty's haircut a belter too. :rofl:

I remember the protest outside, and some smug kid giving the fans the V's from the exec club, and the window being showered with tuppence's

Wait, wait, don't tell me...

 

...and he was STILL better than Jussi.

Bolton Wanderers in Div 4 was unthinkable.

As it was our only season down there, is the full set of programmes worth owt?

I'd had a heavy night in Ritzy the day before the home leg and I had a shocking hangover on the day of the match and it didn't get any better

 

However, the season in the 4th division was my favourite one so far, just because we couldn't get any worse

Urgh ..... I was at Aldershot; still have the programme. Couldn't face the 450 mile round-trip for the 2nd leg. Still gutted though.

Satan, u'r gonna have to go further back for this 'own 'un. :roll:

 

I don't think it would be worth any more than 86/87 or 88/89 tbh!

Some of the away ones sold out on the day due to our bigger than expected away following,i didn't get the Rochdale programme until the internet age despite going to the match.But it was still only ?1 from a dealers online catalogue.

 

George, I'm still missing programmes for the Wanderers at Torquay & Hartlepool (4th division season) and Wigan (1992/93). Was at the games, but programmes sold out. Any idea where I might get hold of them ?

Rochdale away was a classic! 2-0 down to that shower of shite before John Thomas rescued us. I remember Keith Welch being pelted with everything including someone's shoe when he tried to get the ball back from our massive travelling support!

And their managers haircut - surely that wasn't fashionable - even in those days?

 

The most depressing bit was the manager of Aldershot saying, 'We looked far and away a different class side to Bolton' and they'd already played SIXTY games that season! Christ we were shit back then! Aldershot must have been a fairly decent side though because they went on to beat Wolves in the final!

Wait, wait, don't tell me...

Listen Buddy..........

 

........The form Jussi is in at the moment,

 

.........Terry Poole with both hands tied behind his back would be a better option

Great memories, sad day for the Whites. Remember a pub in the centre getting trashed within 5 minutes of arriving then being cornered outside a Whimpy but managing to slip down a side road, then get beat. To top it all off we then broke down somewhere near Oxford on the way back. Got a lift back to Bolton by 2 fellas delivering carpets in Scotland !!

Brentside Programmes have Wigan for a pound but i can't find a Hartlepool

 

Thanks for the info, George. I'll give them a go.
