On November 5th 1985 v Darlington, a freezing cold bonfire night, and our lowest ever recorded league attendance, 3.350 to watch us get stuffed 3-0, I ask because the younger ones on here are suicidal at the thought of watching us in the Championship, god only knows how they would have felt in them days.

Proud to say I was there & night likes that put relegation from the prem into perspective.

I was 18 at the time & remember bumping into one lad who had taken his latest bird to the match, cannot think of a better way to impress the ladies!

 

 

She took the place of a real fan that night

Went from the Albion in Little Hulton, took a right mob of lads, for some reason it was decided that we should go a day early and stay in Whitley Bay, I was the lucky one designated to share a room with Isaacunt, any how in the Disco downstairs pulled a local from Cramlington classy piece in fake red leather , took her back to the room as you would, an hour later Isaac returned only to find the door well and truly locked, there was no way he was getting back into the room, he was non to pleased in the morning.

I was there in the Manny Road north stand.

The comment made above about Sam and his half-hearted performance and general lack of fitness is right.

I remember a similar performance from Sam the same season in a pathetic August 1-4 home defeat to Bury, the first time we'd played them since about 1968.

did darlington away, twice in a week

 

frt on a thursday i think, and the league the next midweek

I was at Darlington & Scarborough. Remember that they'd played Wolves just before, & as we got there the sign telling us we were entering Scarborough was spray painted out with the words 'wolves on tour' sprayed next to it.

 

Always makes me think of this......

weekend made more memorable by meldrew trying to kill scooterists on the way home

There's competition with Scarborough and Darlington from that period in the "it couldn't get any worse" stakes.

 

Newport 2 Bolton 1 in the ankle deep mud just before we got relegated to Div 4

Bolton 1 Chester 2 in the Freight Rover the same season - we all hoped we were going to Wembley again.

Wolves 4 Bolton 0 in Div 4. Loads of trouble and a really shit performance.

the afore mentioned match at scarborough. 30 of us crammed into a tranny van,on the lash all day. sporadic brawls with the scooterboys round town then staggering ticketless to the ground,numbers swelling to about 60 by now.

we tried to get in the home end but a solitary woman copper opened a gate and announced ''you lot can't come in here without tickets''...................aye,whatever,60 pissed up lads straight into their end,then escorted straight into the away end.

i've never seen so many pissed lads in an away end in my life. it seemed like the entire end was pure lads and all were steamboats !!!!

Scarborough went friday night 2 car loads, got nicked for robbing an offy about 2 int mornin , got let out about 9 oclock saturday night , never seen so many notrights locked up in 24 hrs
