I Was There

What's the ultimate "I was there" match

That tournament in Korea?

 

Besiktas?

or newport away on a tuesday

 

lowest ever league crowd we played in front of

Pompey when we qualified for europe

 

Plovdiv

Bournemouth in that promotion year

I don't have much pre-2000 era. Went to Southampton for a League Cup 2nd round tie on a Tuesday night a couple of year back.

 

If we're talking about small numbers, Sunderland away in the cup a few year back. The following just about scraped into 3 digits.

 

I know I've mentioned it before but I'm still quite proud that the first ever competitive Bolton game i went to was the last game at Burden.

Munich for me

Or Swindon league cup semi. What a game

Bayern Munich for me, people I tell often dont believe that we played them, let alone drew with them

Watford night match league cup under McGovern 13 there might have been some in seats maybe 25 tops.

Oh and the Vittoria Setubal away friendly about 13 there.

Who remembers playing emley in cup at huddersfield?

I remember it wasn't that the one where Zico Kelly gave the BWFC fans 2 fingers and someone climbed up the floodlights? 

Yes, I went to the Emley game - I think that was the day Tony Kelly eventually came good for us.

 

A few I was theres - Southend on a Tuesday night with maybe 100 or so there when Stubbs scored early on (1st or 2nd minute), our first win at Ashton Gate for god knows how many years but still missed Patterson's goal but my favourite - Wrexham May 1988 I think

Beating Munich 3-0 at Burnden Friday 22nd of december 1978, the noise that night was the loudest i had ever heard at Burnden, all the bolton fans to a man sing "Bolton 3 bastards 0 Hallelujah" wonderful a night i will never forget

yea someone climbed up,10k on that day mad that for 1st round v non league

I do indeed.

Anyhow, Belgrade for me.

Wish I'd been able to go to a European game, was in college at the time though. Shit excuse, shit fan :(

Agreed! Though a big shout for Blackburn away 6 months earlier.

For sheer masochism, losing 4-0 at Plough Lane in the snow - or indeed the Wimbledon LC 2nd leg at Selhurst in front of <2000.

For ecstacy followed by agony the Soton cup game. Barry fucking Horne.

Plus, horrible though it was was I suppose I'm glad to say I was there to witness Barry Knight's efforts.

Plus the Muamba events at WHL will be forever etched. Never known an atmosphere like it (in the stadium and on the walk back to station) and hope I'll never see it again.

plovdiv

munchen

walsall (anelka's first goal)

gretna

I do indeed.

Anyhow, Belgrade for me.

still pisses me off today that one,just couldn't get to it

 

Plovdiv is the only game I have ever to and gone thinking if I missed it I would regret it for a long time.

 

Bayern Munich is up there too.

Munich for me, similar to Bolton pro. Tell yoonited or city fans at work they don't believe you because they don't know shit about owt but their own club!

Plovdiv by a country mile for me. Theres nothing I wouldn't have done to get that. Amazing night.

 

The Hull Friday night game isn't far behind. Cheers Dad!

 

Think the lowest following I've been in is Ipswich away on a Sunday on Ferny travel. 80 max I reckon. Sure we won as well with Bergson scoring.

Premiership game that, was on Sky Sports. Must have been our first season back in the Premiership, 2001/02.
