Am I right in saying our first ever live televised FA cup tie was against Lincoln at Sincil Bank?

 

 

I remember it being a saturday evening game.

 

We won

Apart from cup finals?

Hope we draw.

Yes it was a Saturday evening..if I remember rightly Phil Brown scored a 25 yarder and I think Russell Hoult made his debut for us that game.

I think Mike Pollitt now Wigan from Bolton made his debut in league football in that game for Lincoln in goal - great chance to progress in cup - good cup run would be brilliant

Staying in the premiership would be even better... but yeh an FA Cup final would be amazing...and if we played a top 4 team it would give us a another season in Europe win or lose .... we can always dream...

Huddersfield away, Memories of the fourth round in 1976.

 

How many supporters did we take over pennines that day? (never to be repeated)

 

We had a coach from the Stags Head at Daubhill

 

One of the guys lent against the gates (quite heavy leaning mind ya) and the gate collapsed. Must of been 300 got in for nothing

 

My memory was that we won 1-0 and of the 27000 ish crowd we had about 10000

Happy with that its just like a bye to round 4

 

*cough*

Northampton

*cough*

That was one of my favorite top ten games watching the whites.Went in the Grand, and John Byrom was in, had a great mither with him. The day of the silly hat, and Peter Reid getting the winner. Attendance was about 27000, with over 15000 coming from Bolton.

There was a big brawl at the crossroads right in the town centre. It went on for so long a crowd of locals & shoppers gathered to watch on the opposite side of the road.

I still have that game on video for some strange reason.

 

Remember there was some fighting before the match too.

 

Anyone fancy mobbing up for this one ?

 

Could be quite tasty...

 

*cough*

Northampton

*cough*

 

:p Well piss it.

Here's my take on this:

 

Yes, I remember Northampton. I just hope the club remembers too. We need to go out with a fairly strong side and gain some much-needed confidence for each player. I don't want to play these teams and win by the odd goal because we played three first teamers and a bunch of kids nobody ever heard of. I want to anhialate them.

As soon as we start to under-estimate teams like this is the time we get into trouble trying to beat them. They are in a no-lose position. Nobody expects them to do anything, least of all BWFC! They could come out of the starting blocks and attack a weakened side in the first half hour, get two or three goals up and then just sit 11 men behind the ball.

or we could go one up and then put 11 men behind the ball.

Another one of those 'you had to be there to appreciate it' matches! I can't remember if it was that match or an earlier one but I remember me and a mate 'thumbing' a lift from outside Burnden to Leeds Road. We got a lift off a couple of lads in a van. After the match we all met up and set off back to Bolton. We were soon surrounded by a load of Huddersfield fans and I feared the worst. The lad who was not driving, pulled out a GUN from the glove compartment and poked it out of the window! Needless to say the Huddersfield fans scattered and we drove back to Bolton without a word spoken!

Yes it was a Saturday evening..if I remember rightly Phil Brown scored a 25 yarder and I think Russell Hoult made his debut for us that game.

 

No Aiden Davidson was in goal for us. It was live on TV and I recorded it and I'm shown several times sat behind the goal.

Jaaskelainen

Steinsson

Cahill

Shittu

Samuel

JO'B

Riga

McCann

Muamba

Gardner

Helguson

 

Subs included AOB, Nolan & K Davies.

 

Should have been strong enough that night.

Player's attitudes were wrong, not the strength of the team.

imo -rather than team selection ,Cahill getting sent off was the main reason for the Northampton defeat.

That and forgetting to mark the big black lad

Now that was a bit of a rough outing iirc.

I was saying that the team selection wasn't to blame, too!

Hope we draw.

 

 

My first thoughts exactly

I wasn't saying team selection was wholly to blame for the defeat against northampton. More that a strong team is needed to prevent another 'blip' in the history of Bolton wanderers.

 

How many times do we need to hear that Blythe Spartans got to whatever round about 30 years ago, or any other giant-killing game? mnnows against Premier league giants!

 

I don't want my team mentioning every time there's a let's-all-chat-about-FA Cup-giant-killers type conversation

 

The papers would love it!

 

As would Neilpie no doubt. It's going to be an expensive year for him becoming a supporter of the opposition every time we play!
