Don't want this ruining Casino's thread.

 

Did any of you permanently lose touch with the folks you stood with?

 

There was always a good 15/20 of us used to stand at the "white wall" (Burnden Paddock, towards Lever end, level with 18 yard line where the roof ended, at the back.)

 

We all got pissed and emotional after the Charlton match in town that night and vowed we'd all be sat together at the Reebok, but it never happened. We only knew each other on a matchday basis (obviously some of us were closer). On any given match, even the shite ones, you were assured at least 10 people you could stand with.

 

If only we could have hung on 5 more years when we all had mobiles, the atmosphere at the new place could have been soooo much better.

 

Incidentally, there was 1 chap called Gaz used to stand with us. A skinhead who was always stood on that wall when decisions weren't quite right. Hard to miss cos he looked like Henry Rollins in a REALLY bad mood. Anyone know him?

youre trying to draw the couple out you might know ::

Partly, but the question remains...

That sounds like Gaz Holland, i went to every match with him, home and away. We always stood in that area about 10-15 yards to the right of the painted wall err toilet. just before the roof.

we stuck together

 

in fact two groups came together through a mutual

 

think we had about 15 seats first season

 

similar number now, but many - say 50% - of the 'crew' have been replaced by our kids

Still see one or two from my old manny road North days but I think they pick andchoose now rather than buying Season tickets.

 

 

Also used to stand with about 4 or 5 lads from work none of whom still go.

I used to have 'match mates' because none of my mates wanted to waste money on 4th div football. Panda T from Halliwell and Kev D from Little Lever were a couple of em, God knows whats happened to them

we used to go the lot in the olden days , he went working on the trawlers at Fleetwood and we lost touch. Great lad

As stated by Casino the Mob stuck together and we had ST seats in the Manny Rd north. There was this old bloke who use to sit amongst us - he must have had that seat for years before we came along. Anyway, never did get his name in all the time I was sat there. Always wondered what happend to him.

He's probably dead. And you ignorant fuckers never took the time to even ask the poor sod's name.

The whole club and football generally has lost touch since Burnden. Just saying.

I was enjoying this thread

Sorry, I had Roy Walker on my shoulder giving it the old, "Say what you see micky, say what you see!"

We had a good few lads from Kearsley, but I think only me and Crampo stood together on the Paddock, but we all met up at Bolton Snokker Club before and after the match.

 

We had some decent away days when we all go together.

 

In fact when we shifted to Horwich, about 15 of us got season tickets in East Stand Upper, and got the coach Greavo used to put on from Monteraze, I can honestly say that none of us have a ST anymore and Crampo is the only one who goes regular.

The only person I know from Burnden who posts on here is Ex Leeds White. He used to sit behind me in Manny Road south. He was just a little lad then and always kicked the back of my seat when Bolton were attacking.
