Blackburn 1975/76 season as a very young lad,think we drew 1-1,first time i'd heard the 'oh,wanky,wanky' chant

 

internationally away,i made my debut at Hampden Park against the sweaties in 1984,again a 1-1 draw,with a certain mr lineker also making his England debut that day

You prob where pal

 

Didn't a mob from Everton turn up?

 

I went in a van from the Rupert.

 

i believe so pal,there were definitely outsiders to help them that day

Peterborough about 91 ish

Charlton when we lost 4-1. I was only 3 so I don't remember much!

Jan 6 1968, Huddersfield away. Did my paper round in the morning then went on a coach from Church Inn Garage L/H. Drew 1 1 with our goal by Freddie Hill (alias God). Later that month went to Forest away in the cup which we lost 4 2.

I still have the programmes.

 

I was at that Forest game. Seem to recall our centre back, John Hulme, scored both of ours. They had some start striker called Quinn and were singing 'The Mighty Quinn' for the entire game. Same match?

First away game was at Nottingham forest in the FA cup 1967 when Forest won 4-2. Lots of Wanderers fans there that day.

 

Me too! I'd have been 13. I went with my mate and his dad. I got Jim Baxter's autograph before the game - haven't got it now. I seem to recall Joe Baker tearing us a second arsehole.

 

Big crowd too.

 

Had to look up the statistics. Here goes.

 

3 January 1968. Forest 4-2 Bolton. Bolton goalscorers: G Taylor, J Hulme. Attendance: 37,229.

 

Bolton team: Hopkinson; Cooper; Farrimond; Williams; Hulme; Rimmer; Bromley; Hill; Byrom; Greaves;Taylor.

 

 

Buggered if I can find the Forest goalscorers though.

I was of similar age and was taken to the game by my cousin on a coach from Atherton. Can remember stopping off in Buxton for Fish n chips. As a collector of Programmes I found it hard to get one but was given one on the way home by some kind bloke.

 

I remember that open end being full to capacity and where we stood level with the eighteen yard box was also crammed.

According to Simon Marlands book it was 27th Jan but it does seem late for the 3rd round. Anyway, I was the same age and I remember getting of the coach and there was a huge Forest fan with a large collection of scarves all over him that he had nicked off opposing fans. It was the thing to do I guess in those days. He didn't get mine.

Joe Baker(two or maybe even a hatrick) ............& a vey nonchalant own goal by Syd Farrimond as I recall .I remember some Bolton fans ' got in' early that day &

painted the goalposts black & white , so it was very tacky white paint on one set of posts ,probably explains why Syd glanced one in at his near (wet) goalpost.

_{Sheffield Wednesday 1997 lost 5-0}

Blackpool 1976, what business my dad had taking me there I will never know.

Bury for my 14th birthday with my mate and my cousin who were younger than me. I was on kids and flids and we might as well not have bothered they parked that far away from the ground.

 

We lost 2-1.

I'm sure I went to a few with my Dad as a kid, but the first away I can remember was in the 1989/90 - Huddersfield Away. I went with NB and my mate who had just passed her driving test that very day. We jumped in a car and fired off with NB as the back seat driver!

Blackpool boxing day 85 is the first I remember.

Not the game.

We were in a wooden seat in the main stand when loads in the paddock below ran across to Bolton in the cop

I was 7

First I remember was Hull away in Feb 1976.

The infamous game at blackpool

Wrexham away when we got promoted I think. I seem to remember some shenanigans goin on there and will never forget seeing someones head split wide open for the first time. My Dad had to stick me and my brother behind a mini walled area in the paddock. Never thought otherwise at the time but looking back what the fook was he thinkin??

 

I also have a very foggy memory of being on Gigg Lane as a wee nipper. Can't say for sure which came first though.

Love the painted posts tale, where else would you hear such golden recollections? Also Boltys tale of Bolton fans torching Bury train station in 64, did not know you could travel Bolton - Bury by train, was that line a victim of Beechings rail cuts?

Would that not be the line at the back ot the Embankment (as featured in an Arthur Askey filum, i think ) & over the Darcy Lever viaduct ?

That sounds plausible wonder which stations were on that line, fuck me turned into a right boring bastard in my old age.

Wigan away on Boxing Day, lost 1-0, 84ish?

After leaving Bolton it was Darcy Lever, Bradley Fold, Radcliffe Black Lane and then Bury Knowsley St.

As others have said.. Seem to recall it was Platform 4 and the first thing that happened was crossing the back of the Embankment and all the lads hanging out of the windows singing and saluting Burnden.

 

It was the Waiting Room they torched, just as the train pulled in. As it left, the flames were licking up the windows. We had some mad fcukers at Bolton. I know I have recounted the tale before of the Millmoor incident when one of ours hung by one arm for a while watching the game from the high end of a cantilever stand beam. Police and fire brigade members beneath him with a big blanket

Yes..just looked it up & the line shut in 1970, which was later than the major Beeching cuts. I've lived in Darcy & didn't know there'd been a station there, though it did shut in 1951.

I do recall the Bradley Fold station, just at the side of the road. A footbridge went over the line. Where was the Darcy Lever station though?
