miamiwhite Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Surely we won't match that record We didn't manage a win in that season until late January. Bizarrely we put a run together of 5 wins on the bounce that season. Spare for a thought for the players,they played 3 days on the trot over Christmas 25th - Liverpool,away - lost 5 - 1 26th - Sheff Utd - away - lost - 7 - 1 27th - Everton away - lost 3 - 1 Ruth C,Rembrandt,Malc and Leigh White were calling for the manager to be be sacked as they waited outside Goodison for the Wanderersways horse n trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Why not? I can't see a win anytime soon. I think the players feel the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those days it was left for the Chairmen to arrange Bank Holiday fixtures with the remaining few clubs.. [The only reason I know this was I did a study of 1908-09 as the relegation battle was intense - Woolwich Arsenal finished 6th on 38 points and ManCity 19th of 20 on 34 points. City were relegated without ever being in the bottom 2 even after their last match. Ha ha!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha!] fill your boots Malc,but you'll find the Christmas fixtures were played on Thursday,friday and Saturday. the only other league game not to be played on a Saturday that season was Friday 2nd jan 1903 losing to Grimsby,then the following day we played The Wednesday and lost again. Bleak season that was by the sounds of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've 'already' (sigh) got 4 points, so we can't beat that part of the record. But no wins for another 14 (?) games ? Not impossible on current evidence.

I've always followed them and will until my dying day the memories Bolton Wanderers have given me are irreplaceable. I'd take them on Desert Island Discs,along with Linda Lusardi's tits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Interesting one you've been raiding your stats books for this. With shite lazy bastards like ngog upfront we could surpass that record. Not beating Yeovil at home makes me wonder when our first win may come? Hopefully blackpool but not expecting it.

Bleak season that was by the sounds of it And we fell at the first fence in the FA Cup, losing 5-0 at home to second division Bristol City. Both ManU and Man City were in the second division then, but Bury were eighth in top tier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
