Big E Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 You can stay well clear permanently for me pal. This for me also. Everyone on here has bigged up for years they were here in dark days etc. Now it gets a bit dim and you are getting like rats on a sinking ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on here has bigged up for years they were here in dark days etc. Now it gets a bit dim and you are getting like rats on a sinking ship Absolutely! When I first started supporting Bolton, it was during the Phil Neal era. People used to tell me about the big crowds we used to have when we were higher up the league. I remember thinking there was no way that many people would really turn their backs on the club because of our league position. Appears I was wrong.

Matt Lofthouse Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Don't bother going, save your money or spend it something more enjoyable. They don't give a toss so why should we. That's the spirit, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughmungus Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 We never had big crowds apart from the late 70's promotion times, I recall a number of of sub 1500 ones for games and the Burnden Paddock was a big lonely place back then. But we now have Sky tv and inter web etc so many many more interesting things to do on a Saturday than sit with moaning feckers, don't forget it's an entertainment industry and at the moment the show is shite. If it was my doing then I'd blindly go week in week out but in my opinion my hard earned cash isn't being spent wisely by the so called directors and management.

Mounts Kipper Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I might have a moan on here but I will be there Saturday will support the team during the 90 minutes I urge every one who has BWFC at heart to put all your grievances on side for at least ether next 4 home games if we come out the other side with 10-12 points thinks will look a lot rosier.

enzo gambaro Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Lancs Manx Cup games or whatever maybe had 1500 on. 1,507 on for Reevsie's hat trick against Rochdale in the Freight Rover or whatever it was then. There's a handful of FRT/League Cup ties around the two and half mark and then the bommy night game. Sheppard doesn't list pre-season friendlies, but I remember the Lancs Manx Cup games being fairly well attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannyroad58 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Bournemouth at home next week!? Not a season ticket holder, been to every home game so far, BUT caught between, do I stay away in protest at what's going on OR support the club I've supported for the last 40 odd years? Half of me says stand up and be counted OR fcuk it till Dougie fooks off? So sad to see the demise of our club Dougie v BWFC Quote on GMR as saying he's an Apprentice Manager! why us though? I did my own mini protest a few years back when we went to wolves and had a good day out but got well beat and i said to all the lads "i'm not coming again until that ginger twat is sacked" The next home game i drove up to the ground, dropped my lads off and went home, it fucking killed me but my stubborness kicked in, at that point we went on a little run of picking up points but i didn't return until i got what i wanted, which i did a few weeks later. I felt so much better for it but i wouldn't do it again, it was like having a leg off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest that you revisit your facts pal. I could very easily point out at least two home attendances close to 40,000 in the early Seventies and other 30,000+ ones too. We have never needed the moaners - they really are better off staying at home for every fuckers sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 What always amazes me is the failure to grasp that for there to be winners, there have to be losers. It's a cyclic thing and I have no doubt our good times will return. It's the bad times which make the good times so special. Our history demands that we endure and we will. Of this I am completely confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
