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.

Besiktas. Only Euro I missed but I had work commitments

That Liverpool away game where Nolan pointed at the captains armband

 

Boro away where al Habsi kept us in it

 

Everton away where Ngog and Cahill scored

Southampton at the Reebok 2000, 1-1 draw. First match I had missed at the new ground, I was in a karaoke bar in Seoul phoning my missus for updates.

Hull on the Friday night

 

I was grounded as my mates got caught at school burning some resin on a bunsen burner, I wasn't even in that class, but when collared they dropped me in it as well as I part owned it...

I inadvertently got one of them back a few years later when I told a girl we knew that I'd caught him sucking another lad off, just as a joke like, anyway the rumour spread round Horwich and, more importantly, everyone believed it

I often do that for the 4th round weekend.

Just spoken to Smiley, he regrets not being at Besiktas.

Munich away. and old trafford when I think nolan and ricketts scored

Not many of the important games that I regret missing, to be honest.

 

Wrexham - was in London, but bad decision; didn't believe in miracles.

Hull (Fri night) - was in London, just been to B'mouth, booked for last home game against Preston.

 

Erm ....... I'm sure I'll think of another one as soon as I click 'Post'.

This. I can't even remember why I didn't go, which is annoying as I did plenty of aways then.

Note to self: do more aways, you love it.

 

 

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

 

Johhny come lately( or younger fan under 30) surprised any Bolton fan of a certain age would have missed all 3 of them, 1 or 2 but all 3 unless your a relatively young un.

been going bolton since about 84/85 but more regular when i was old enough to go with mates around 1991, mainly did home games back then and was a touch young for the big aways.

couldnt do bayern due to moving house but did madrid instead .... i think ive watched bolton on about 30 odd different grounds over the years not amazing but it will do fer me

I did not go to that game but I'm sure I saw highlights on tv the same night, can any one remember that? Or is mind playing tricks, did anyone off here go to that game? Would have thought LA white might have gone, I Would love to know how many we took and a tale or 2 about that game.
