paulhanley Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I've got video of around three-quarters of the games the Wanderers played in that glorious part of our history, January 1986 to January 1988. So that's the second half of 85/6 all of 86/7 and the first half of 87/8 in Div 4. Its Pre-Roadrunner stuff .. but quite a few of them still have a Dave Higson commentary. I've also got a DVD/VCR machine so can put them on to DVD if anybody wants copies of a particular game between that period (good moments few and far between!) I'd do a bit of a charge to cover costs etc but nowt astronomical. Inbox me if you're interested.
paulhanley Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 Who is the copyright owner? Me. That was part of the deal when I bought the vids off the bloke who filmed all the games.
MickyD Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I'm glad I've highlighted this important aspect for you then.

SatanGreavsie Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 How far back where games regularly filmed by the club?
paulhanley Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 How far back where games regularly filmed by the club? So far as I am aware it was from January 86. Though I do have one game from before that time - Bolton 1 Wigan 0 at the end of 84/5. It wasn't actually the club who filmed it. It was a video company who did it, with the knowledge of the club. Roadrunner were the second company to do it - but by far the longest running, right through from Feb 88 to the end of 94/5 season.
Casino Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 How far back where games regularly filmed by the club? the club were filming games as far back as the late 70s there was always a cam in the tv box on top of the manny road stand
SatanGreavsie Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 the club were filming games as far back as the late 70s there was always a cam in the tv box on top of the manny road stand so there's a nice little earner sitting there somewhere if it includes the late 70s div 1 stuff e.g. I'd pay good money for coverage of us stuffing the Filth 3-0
gonzo Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 are you the same paul hanley that used to contribute to white love?
Guest Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 so there's a nice little earner sitting there somewhere if it includes the late 70s div 1 stuff e.g. I'd pay good money for coverage of us stuffing the Filth 3-0 Certainly the 2-1 at OT that season as I can hardly remember any of it
bolton va va Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Certainly the 2-1 at OT that season as I can hardly remember any of it If that was the Frankie Worthy game....same here. Another one i've never seen since, was the Bournemouth away game that i think preceded the Friday night in Hull which is often shown.

MickyD Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Bournemouth away that season as overshadowed as a trip by events 4 nights later at Hull. For me it was up there as one of my favourite matches; probably because it was fairly warm on that there South coast. The pub on the main road was fucking heaving from about 3 o'clock. That some folks managed the walk to the ground was a surprise.

That some folks managed the walk to the ground was a surprise. looking back at the kind of away followings we had at these kind of fixtures,hull,bournmouth,southampton in the cup on a tuesday night etc. i wonder what percentage of whites drove home over the drink drive limit?!

That some folks managed the walk to the ground was a surprise. I think i might have been one of them. We stopped off in Winchester to visit another oldest pub in the world, & then had a break at Lyndhurst in the New Forest but i've no idea where we went in Bournemouth. I can remember very little of the match either, though i've a vague memory of jumping up & down excitedly which i'm guessing might have been for a late goal. Happy days.
paulhanley Posted October 9, 2011 Author Posted October 9, 2011 random Don't have the Chesterfield game from 85/6 (that was the game Nat Lofthouse managed Bolton between Charlie Wright being sacked and Phil Neal taking over). These vids start 17 days later with Bolton 1 Wigan 2 on New Years Day 86. The best one to watch in the collection is probably Bolton 2 Wigan 1 in the Freight Rover Northern Final at Burnden. One or two other good derby wins are included, some games with really big away followings despite the poor team and the game when we finally ended our away jinx in London with a win at Brentford (Autumn 86). It also includes Scarborough 4 Bolton 0, the play off defeat against Aldershot (both legs) and some other seriously dismal stuff that I've watched through once and won't get played through again!

Forget the football, how many show a tasty bit of rucking on 'em? That is what you should be advertising!
Loft Nuthouse Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 I'd love a copy of that away win at Brentford. Me and me mate on the pitch after slipping about in t'drizzle.

Smiley Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 I'd love a copy of that away win at Brentford. Me and me mate on the pitch after slipping about in t'drizzle. Asa Hartford tipped over a shot in that game (pretty sure) but the ref didn't see it. Was my first Wanderers game in London. Remember my dad bringing home some of these videos - didn't realise they were pre-Roadrunner. There was the Bristol City game at Wembley, Darlington away (we won 3-0) etc. Definitely Dave Higson on the commentary if my memory serves me right. Guessing York City away when we lost 2-1, Hartford scored a screamer and it kicked off to high heaven on the terraces that day would be in that collection!
