desperado Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 With the Blackburn away game fast approaching I started thinking back over some of our famous victories there. While the 78 victory goes down as one of the greats (was only 5, so unfortunately I can't comment too much only what I have read on here and what my dad tells me!) Favourite for me after years of only knowing defeat and last minute heartbreak has to be the 3-4 - One of the most ecstatic away memories for me.
Burndens Bogs Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 1978,nothing else even comes close. Although you have to be a bit of an owd get to remember it
frank_spencer Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Jussi and the Penalties for me, just great fun after the game and had me on the edge of my seat in the last 10mins I was -4 in 78.
Theboybell Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Jussi and the Penalties for me, just great fun after the game and had me on the edge of my seat in the last 10mins I was -4 in 78. -5 i Win and it was the 4-3 for me 14 seconds Goal and Youri all good memorys!!! only bad thing was that it was played in the worst bolton shirt ever made that God awful yellow effort!
Electric Gretar Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I was 0 in 1978 The 4-3 one for me too. The worst being the Vaz "Dancing On Ice" Te game.

Manny Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 78 was before my time and didn't go in 2004. Will never forget the 1-0 in 2006, 7000 of us going mental. The change of emotion in those last 5 minutes was amazing.
jules_darby Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I was 0 in 1978 The 4-3 one for me too. The worst being the Vaz "Dancing On Ice" Te game. I'm with you on all of that Are you me?
Carlos Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 The worst ones being last season's dicking, the one where Shearer scored a hat-trick and the one where Tomo got sent off and Nathan Blake missed a sitter to make it 2-2 right at the end.
M G WHITES Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 The 1-0 for me.The buzz when them fuckers were all wakling past the fernhust and getting it both barrels was tip top,
freds dad Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 The worst ones being last season's dicking, the one where Shearer scored a hat-trick and the one where Tomo got sent off and Nathan Blake missed a sitter to make it 2-2 right at the end. Having been there at all three on the poll the 78 game is my favourite, I was 15 at the time. I remember running on the pitch at full time when about 3 coppers tried to stop what seems like the whole Darwin end trying to get on the pitch. Oh happy days
Superbocker glory Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Djorkaeff's goal in the 4-3 was fantastic! Deffo my favourite Ewood trip.
Ani Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 anyone who does not vote for 1978 was nt there. FACT.
BL2wanderer Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 anyone who does not vote for 1978 was nt there. FACT. Was there in 78, no tickets in them days! Darwen end full and entered the ground via the Riverside and actually paid rather jump over the turnstiles, once inside the ground it wasn't long before we got escorted to the Darwen End where the bulk of the Wanderers fans where. It's a shame that the younger one's on here will NEVER experience anything like it!
leigh white Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Won a load of money in Dave Quiggers dads pub in Blackburn in 78, but lost the lot after getting arrested, and having to fork out the money for a taxi back to Tyldesley in the middle of the night.
jayjayoghani Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I was 5 in 78 but I had a banning order.
Guest westmidswhite Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 1978,nothing else even comes close.Although you have to be a bit of an owd get to remember it I was on the Darwen end that night. Must of been 22000 whites in the 27000 crowd. Even pulled in the night club later After losing at Cardiff the Saturday before it was perfect when Frankie got the winner to take us up Will never be beaten for me but like bogs said you need to be a oldy to appreciate it
SatanGreavsie Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 anyone who does not vote for 1978 was nt there. FACT. FACT indeed The flip side, though, is that we will die before them
tyldesley_white Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 FACT indeed The flip side, though, is that we will die before them I dont care, I was there ... what a night that was
SatanGreavsie Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I dont care, I was there ... what a night that was Indeed, what a night I doubt I'll ever see as many Whites at an away game - short of a major final (or semi final, in the case of the Villa game)
Sluffy Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 1978 Great, great night. Not only the game but it meant we'd won promotion as well!
tyldesley_white Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 1978 Great, great night. Not only the game but it meant we'd won promotion as well! I can still see Frank wheeling away from goal with one arm raised as the whole ground went ape shit I can remember getting home and my parents asked me how the games was , I was still on a high but couldn't tell them because I had no voice left from sing in the gound, sing back to the coach and sing all the way back to Little Hulton, even next day my voice was stlll shot ... happy days
junot Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I saw all three but it has to be 1978 by miles! To see us win promotion with a following of close to 20,000 is difficult to beat. It's one of my top 5 best ever Bolton games. The crowd that night was 27,835, 4 days earlier in their previous home game against Sheffield Utd Blackburn's gate was 8,997

The crowd that night was 27,835, 4 days earlier in their previous home game against Sheffield Utd Blackburn's gate was 8,997 Aye, they were more than a little "fricky" of the unruly mob from over the hills back then and a lot stayed away because they didn't want to see us partying - i have heard it said there were around 7,000 Blackburn there that night. Bolton fans were everywhere, it was absolutely mental when the final whistle went I had never before (or since) seen so many Bolton fans on an away pitch at the end of a game.
