December 13, 201312 yr Author I remember a mob of about 50 Wiggin tried to storm the Rose Hill many many years ago, IIRC one of them had a pair of crutches he was lashing out with, that were a good few minutes we had R - was that the easter saturday game in 83/84 ? they had a fair few casualties sat on the wall outside the away entrance when it used to be on the car park
December 13, 201312 yr i think there were even less pie munchers present at Springfield Pit in 92/93 when Tony Kelly scored his Maradonaesque goal. Most of the ground erupted when that went in,we were in the stand(not grand) and only a few locals with rattles were present in there as well It looks great, and rather dangerous, on the 92/93 DVD behind the goal when he celebrates scoring that!
December 13, 201312 yr Was in the market tavern with an old bowton lad who always wore a deer stalker when it went off , allsorts came flying through the windows and i got hit with a metal fence post from the roadworks , bolton behind the bar robbing the tills and the lad with the deer stalker running upstairs to the landords gaff and chucking stuff out the upstairs window onto the piemen outside. Grass. Port Vale incident. Not been seen since, allegedly... Edited December 13, 201312 yr by C86
December 13, 201312 yr standing on that grass hill while some local scrotes firing fireworks from outside, wigan steward ,fat bald head deep wigan accent getting abuse for not stopping them, and general piss took out of his " ahm tryin fort stop um" and getting things thrown at him while he too was avoiding the fireworks turns up at work on the Monday and the same fat wigan twat is the new starter at our place, full of coin scars on the back of his skull and everything, asked what it was and got " ah doo stewardin at springfield, loads of bowton twats threw coins and spat at mi, and w wre tyin stop em gettin hit by firworks some scrotes were throwin, got hit by one of them too" lifted up his shirt and showed me the burn on his back took me a year to tell him I saw him getting the abuse and was laughing Think that would have been the 92/93 game felt a bit sorry for him until he also showed me the united tattoo on his arm
December 13, 201312 yr went to a pre season at workington with the fella who got his back cut up in the market tavern not seen him since
December 13, 201312 yr went to a pre season at workington with the fella who got his back cut up in the market tavern not seen him since Pretty sure i saw Greeny (slashed back) last season not seem pat G (slashed face for a year or 2 both top lads. If Pats still going he will be there 2 morrow he's friendly with a few Wigan lads I think.
December 13, 201312 yr It looks great, and rather dangerous, on the 92/93 DVD behind the goal when he celebrates scoring that! I was there as a kid with my dad. He deemed it too unsafe to go behind the goal so we went in the main stand near corner flag. Bolton had the whole of the ground bar the opposite side from the main stand. Remember my dad having to shield me in someone's front doorway outside afterwards as a mob of what I presume we're Bolton came steaming along throwing plant pots and hanging baskets at everyone. One bloke lay on the road with blood pouring from his head. Growing up watching Bolton with my dad was ace! Haha

December 14, 201312 yr a memory that will stay with me to my grave was Wigan away on boxing day '84. a few vans met up near the bus station and went to pick up a fair few horwich lads. we met at the pub near Crown Lane,can't think of it's name. A Horwich lad turned up in a hearse and 7 or 8 lads jumped in for the short journey across the border. Whoever that Horwich lad was,I salute you sir. Thanks for a lifetime memory That'll be the crown
December 14, 201312 yr That'll be the crown Lots of pubs in Horwich with a dentist connection. The Crown, The Bridge and the one with the plaque outside! (RIP Hovis!!)

December 14, 201312 yr I know Greeny childhood mate, he still goes but takes his son nowadays. NSL nowadays.

Cant wait for tomorrow now, though Ill just about be getting out of bed by the time this planned start at Wetherspoons gets going!
December 14, 201312 yr Went as a 14/15 year old with a mate from school. Being polite youngmen from Smithills we asked a policeman for directions to the ground who obliged then wished us good luck which was a little disconcerting, Was a very educational walk to Springfield Park that, it was the day the Bolton lad went in the canal. A couple of seasons later got a lift in the back of an Escort van which stank of petrol, no real problem until the cigs started being passed around

A couple of seasons later got a lift in the back of an Escort van which stank of petrol, no real problem until the cigs started being passed around that must have been the freight rover northern final whites man,when 300 of us got off the train at Ince. The lad who decided to use the canal instead of the small footbridge was from Little Lever IIRC. Probably thought it was time for a wash as they've not got baths on their campsites yet
December 14, 201312 yr Author after one match in 89,we legged their poxy mob up to the train station as usual. One of theirS,an much older lad who i know as GC was caught and was begging ''please don't hit me,i'm a dickhead,i like Bolton,honestly''.........we felt sorry for the feeble twat and let him go. When he thought he was safe he started bellowing ''you Bolton wankers,you're fuck all''..................BUT,behind him was one of our lot,who politely tapped him on the shoulder,gave him a wry smile before unleashing a stunning right hook knocking the Wigan wanker sprawling across the road in the pouring rain. He was flat out chewing road markings for a good few minutes. That Wigan lad has since retired from attending matches involving us,i know him through work
December 14, 201312 yr Wasn't the crutch wielded a certain pub landlord in Deane? No, it was a Wigginer
December 14, 201312 yr Can't remember who it was when CG got a mention in the BEN for his crutch wielding exploits outside Churchills.....was funny as fuck tho!
December 15, 201312 yr There was a Wigan game when they turned up outside wagon horses and were met crossing the road by Bolton. Bolton had a lad on crutches meeting them. They did not get half way. We were walking down manny road and saw this happen.

I remember one of theirs getting cleaned out in one outside the King Bill off a well known Deane lad. Finest punch i've ever seen thrown at a football match. The Wigan lad didn't get up for a while
