April 20, 201313 yr They've got a thread called 'BIGGEST AWAY FOLLOWING AT EWOOD'..............we get plenty of mentions on there started by a certain ''thewarhurstward''................pretty sure i've seen that name mentioned on here before.........
April 20, 201313 yr http://www.brfcs.com/mb/index.php/topic/29360-biggest-away-following-ever-at-ewood/
April 20, 201313 yr "We was on the Riverside - but cant for the life of me remember why - - The entire ground erupted when they scored and we suddenly felt - very very alone!" Haha BWFC promotion int 70s.
April 20, 201313 yr Brings a tear t my eye reading them posts, remember the night Worthy bagged the winner to send us up, was sat in the riverside stand and none other than "the creator" Peter Nicholson was sat behind me, as a 8/9 year old too see a current payer in with you was ace- my dad took me all over the country watching our heroes , Mansfield , Oldham , Sheffield and never went in away end. Never thought at the time why but obvious now. Wing stand or manchester road stand was our home position and on one of the many occasions we would witness a massive fight, fans changing ends/stands , I'd get home and quote my dad as saying decent "half time entertainment lad "to my mum who would go mental at him big time for encouraging me , very happy days
April 20, 201313 yr Author one of the posters saying ''men in black leather jackets were stood all around the back of us'' Bolton - trendsetters in the 70's also one of the posters saying 'a lad in a red away shirt was carried aloft by the fans at the end,they thought he was a player''.............superb i think ''thewarhurstward'' will have to stay undercover and nice until those bigger turds than wigan drop then cue the abuse
April 20, 201313 yr Author also one of their posters saying ''the biggest away following he'd seen at ewood in 50 years plus the crowd being nearer to 35,000 that night. at this rate,the older heads on here will be saying we took more there that night than we had on against Darlington
April 20, 201313 yr Top night that was - I was in the stand to the right (looking from the away end) and fucking hell looking at that "away" end I've neither before or since (and from now on, very unlikely!) seen a more packed end. Astonishing stuff.
April 20, 201313 yr I was one of the " men in black leather jackets " on the Blackburn End . There is film of that night, shown on local news i think, showing Frankie Worthy's goal with Bolton fans at the back of the Blackburn End, but i can't track it down.
April 20, 201313 yr We were in the Blackburn end that night, we couldn't afford leather jackets though!!!!
April 20, 201313 yr My dad was on front cover of the BEN jumping on worthys back. Great reading that Miami.
April 20, 201313 yr Author last poster on the thread saying we had at least 25,000 there. it started off at 20,000 and will be 50,000 by the end of the thread did anyone actually go up to blackburn and stay in the alehouses instead of going to BOLLYWOOD
April 20, 201313 yr Goes down as one of the best nights ever,I still think it was Frankies best goal for us,thats including Ipswich and the Scum.I can remember his quote " I went around 13 players an ice cream van,kept my cool and slotted it into the bottom lefthand corner" cool as fuck
April 20, 201313 yr last poster on the thread saying we had at least 25,000 there. it started off at 20,000 and will be 50,000 by the end of the thread did anyone actually go up to blackburn and stay in the alehouses instead of going to BOLLYWOOD Have you got that many fans in total ??
April 20, 201313 yr I was in the Darwen End; the night was electric from start to finish Definately at least 20000 Bolton on that night Anyone go to Cardiff the Saturday before - big following there as well (more than 5000) but we lost 1-0
April 20, 201313 yr Was only 9 at the time - sat in main stand nr what was supposed to be Blackburn end. Must have been on TV? Oh for a you tube clip! Pity was pre Roadrunner.
April 20, 201313 yr I was one of the 20k+ and I still put that game as one of my top 5 matches as a Wanderers' supporter. Strangely I remember counting 104 coaches down the road behind the Darwen End. Edited April 21, 201313 yr by Salford Trotter
April 21, 201313 yr I was in the Darwen End; the night was electric from start to finish Definately at least 20000 Bolton on that night Anyone go to Cardiff the Saturday before - big following there as well (more than 5000) but we lost 1-0 Yep, was at both. But I don't remember the Cardiff match at all - only heading back on the train later.

There is film of that night, shown on local news i think, showing Frankie Worthy's goal with Bolton fans at the back of the Blackburn End, but i can't track it down. It was feature on Kick Off 1 time....Ive got it somewhere (the clip of the goal) on VHS, Il have to dig it out.
April 21, 201313 yr Great find MW. Brought some memories back did that Im also liking the relegation thread on their board, think they will stay up by the skin of their teeth, but are dead certs to go down under Bowyer next year!

Had a broken leg and used crutches to fly the flag.
