Worst Wanderers Games

1. Newcastle v Wanderers 1976

Had to listen to it at hartshead motorway service cos the motorway was chockablock or broke down on the way to elland road, can't remember which .....?????? Too long ago, and I had to be disguised as a lad as wimmin didn't go to away games

 

2 Southend end 5 BWFC 2 1996....... Too painful

 

3 gillingham 2 BWFC 2 ????? on a friday night and what felt like 4 weeks on a bloody coach, can't rember when , probably 10..12 years ago, and dear old Florence was still living it large

 

 

 

PS ... And I mean the games when you seriously thought I've given up a day or more and or wages for this and for what ?????!!!!

That gillingham trip was a bloody long journey think it was on sky. Southend was a good weekend went down on Friday afternoon.

Losing 4-0 at Plough Lane in the snow.

Portsmouth 4 Bolton 0 August 2003 - stinker.

Notts Co 6 Whites 1. Fans arriving late and being told that we are losing 6-0.

Black Sunday

 

Shef weds and derby 5-0's

Memory like sieve so stoke at wembley

 

High expectations and all that

 

Utterly depressing

Losing 2-1 away to Orient midweek in 1984 in front of 2449 fans. At least I lived in Lodndon...

6-1 and Justin Fashanu was out of Countys side that night.

Left college early for that one with a mate from Reading. Just passed my test. Borrowed mates mums Renault 5 as she was away.

 

Got a speeding ticket near ground so had to own up when we got back. Thank f*ck I was covered by her insurance 'cos I didn't have a car. She wasn't best pleased.

Scarborough 0-4

 

Loads of whites there but we got hammered.

 

Bank holiday weekend I think, couldn't get a B&B when we got there and 4 (brought the birds) of us ended up in a room in a OAP sheltered accommodation place. Dead romantic that.

Remeber that Gillingham game, all that way and I missed both of our goals. Im sure that was the game that John O'Kane scored a 40 yarder? What a goal to miss.

Where to start, but thats been the fun of it :blush:

 

A few spring to mind...........

 

QPR 7 Wanderers 1

Sheff Utd 4 Wanderes 0 (Peter Barnes & Phil Neal dust up)

Wanderers 1 Bristol City 4 (Warren Joyce "there's only one player trying")

 

but the low point of last 30 years has to be...

 

Wanderers 0 Darlington 3 (that Bonfire night)

I remember going Watford with my dad must of been 92ish 3-0 up lost 4-3

Wanderers 1 Bristol City 4

 

Sit down protest in the club car park afterwards.

Yep, def Bolton 0 Darlington 3 Bonfire Night 85.

 

Bolton 1 Mansfield 2 in the Sherpa Van in 85. We'd all convinced ourselves we were going to Wembley and Ian Greaves team from a division below beat us even though we'd gone one up.

 

Any amount of demoralising home defeats against Bury - they beat us all scores at Burnden in the 80s: 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, 1-3. They also did us 2-1 at Gigg Lane at the end of 98/9. Massively depressing.

 

Two 2-1 defeats at Blackpool in 89/90, first in the Cup, two late goals and Match of the Day turning up and going on endlessly about 1953. Same happened again late season in the league. No more depressing sight than Blackpool w*nkers running on the pitch celebrating at Bloomfield.

 

Bolton 1 Forest 1 in the Burnden Premiership year when Colin Cooper equalised for them in the 112th minute of injury time.

 

Two recent Christmas games, both 0-1 home defeats. Boxing Day 04 to Blackburn, Paul Dickov scored early for them, and Wigan in 08, Zaki pen after O'Brien decided to turn it in to a wrestling match to gift them the pen.

the home tonking by Coventry, Chris Fairclough, i think, being horrific,

Bolton 0 - 3 Bobby Barnes

Yep, def Bolton 0 Darlington 3 Bonfire Night 85.

Bloody hell have no recollection of that Mansfield game, there are many where I have felt bereft topped by the Bolton match was the League cup final at Cardiff and the Everton defeat in the League cup in the semi-final add to that the Tranmere games in the play off final and league cup semi, the Villa Semi in the FA cup and the Watford play off final. some bad bad days in that little lot. Oh and 1 more Charlton away when we got relegated to the 3rd Division.
