The Bolton Game You You Regret Not Being At

As a money grabbing 17 year old twat the night we beat Charlton at the last game at Burnden I was collecting glasses in town. Crompton's Mule to be precise. I still hate myself for it. I also missed the play off win against Reading as I was on a school trip to Spain.

 

These still hurt.

 

Regrets?

Munich away

Red Star Belgrade - I was on a flight to Vegas to watch Mayweather v Hatton but would still rather have been in Belgrade

Munich away, hull fri night, Wrexham , bburn away in late 70s was only 2 yr old so didn't really have a choice

Missed reading and torquay...went to all the others we lost

2 most recent play off wins. On holiday both times. The perils of having a dad who didn't go to the game. (good omen being ill have to miss this years too)

 

Plovdiv, besiktas, rabotniki, belgrade and to a lesser extent marseille. Was too skint for them but did munich, Guimaraes, Lisbon and Madrid.

Regrets?

 

Were you at Thornleigh by any chance?

 

I missed the reading game for the same reason - school trip to Spain.

 

My biggest regret is not going to one of the European aways.

Besiktas. Only Euro I missed but I had work commitments

 

Leicester away 0-5 as I was playing

Reading play-off final and all our European games, it was Germany 2006 time and a tad to pricey to do both. I should of done our games instead looking back.

Besiktas and Arsenal away.

 

Looking back, that result at Arsenal was astonishing

west ham away in the league cup - daughter was born following morning

3 when i was reliant on me dad and he was working; united in 79 or whatever, blackburn in 78? and derby in the league cup

besiktas - could've gone but thought it was too expensive...with hindsight, it was small change

 

 

didn't do lisbon but didn't want to and don't regret it

 

 

other than that, i've not got any regrets

 

plenty i've been to but wish i hadn't mind, but thats a whole new thread!

Besiktas and Madrid, only 2 I missed

Are you really a Bolton fan? Or a JCL.

Belgrade and everton away 4-0.

City away, championship season.

Only league game I missed that season.

Missed Spurs at home in League cup same season too.

Of course I'm a Bolton fan ,,,, go on what's a JCL?

I wish I'd been there at the home game against Darlington. :( #shitfan

 

(btw, JCL = Johnny Come Lately)

Darlington, Besiktas, Belgrade and Guimaries

Darlington, Besiktas, Belgrade and Guimaries

 

You didn't go to the Darlington game? Well, there's an admission! In fact, yes, I remember there was report of a single Bolton fan walking around town while every single person was at the football match.
