gonzo Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Bet you've been inundated with requests for tickets Gonch. . It's been ridiculous mate haha Got asked about 20 times at the Wigan game. My dad had a knock at the door last night from a Bolton supporting taxi driver he sometimes says hello to in the pub. He wanted tickets. We've both had phone calls of my mums brother in law and a couple of second cousins. They all wanted tickets. Crackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pansyroadwhite Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 To be fair in the seventies and eighties blackpool had a decent set of lads and were willing to have a go they just tended to be out numbered and maybe outclassed when we played them, thats not me spouting off just what i witnessed at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh white Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Only got jumped twice at B/Pool, once in the Lancs cup when we took about 250 and a league game about 75/76 when some sly cunts followed me in the shop on my own after the game near the tower when i called in for some cigs and cans for the train home.

Nobster Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I remember back in the 70s they brought a decent mob one time and tried to take the lever end, they got a good kicking but put up a decent fight that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 My first memory of observing trouble at Bloomfield Road was on Boxing Day in 1985. First time we'd played them for eight years and Bolton took thousands filling the half of the Kop that was open and two-thirds of the little side terrace. It was only Phil Neal's second or third game in charge. Electric atmosphere for a Third Division game! As always seemed to be the case at Bloomfield in the 80s we took the lead but failed to win. David Cross scored for us and they equalised in the last minute. Was in the home end that day. Sounds like there'll be plenty repeating the experience this year.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted November 11, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2014 Remember that boxing day game. Thousands waiting to get in and no delay to the kick off. Got in near half time and had to pay more than the full price as they'd run out of change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrener Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Only had 1 turnstile on if I remember rightly. A copper said they only expected 800 as the queue snaked round the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I was in the side stand on that Boxing Day. As a nipper I remember being shit scared of the wooden stand, and also a huge gang of lads below us in the paddock. I thought they were Blackpool lads eventually invading the pitch to get at Bolton but I'm not sure now. Can anyone shed light on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COYW Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I was in the scratching shed for that Boxing Day game. I remember the crush outside in that narrow alleyway. Think it was Phil Neals debut... at left back. Paul Stewart equalised for them. He went on to play for Spurs, Liverpool and City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidjack Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I remember listening to it on the radio at relatives and being absolutely gutted when the last min equaliser went in (how many times since have I had that feeling?). Was a bit too young to go on my own and there weren't many volunteering to take me in that period. Remember the write-up in Wanderers Worldwide - our first fanzine (remember that? any contributors off here? part of the TR85 group) - a week or two later and it sounded like bedlam. Also remember being absolutely gutted (the Xmas after I think?) when our game at Bury was called off cos of a frozen pitch on the day of the game - on about Dec 28th I think.

I remember being gutted about that Bury game being called off. It was the very same Xmas as the Blackpool game. The next match after Blackpool ended up being Wigan on New Year's Day at Burnden. We lost 1-2 - mainly because the referee Kenny Walmesley (a Bolton fan in his youth having been brought up near Tyldesley) sent off Bolton number 8 Steve Thompson - two yellows making a red. Except the first yellow had been Wigan's number 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjack Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I've had a word with myself for getting that wrong. I was thrown by 2 aways together - but that's what happened in those days...didn't we play Bury at home on Boxing Day the year after (a defeat, inevitably) then Doncaster away the very next day (another, abject, defeat viewed through that fucking cage)?

Yeah ... lost 2-3 at home to Bury and I think you are right about Doncaster being the game after that. That was a grim Christmas. Despite getting relegated to Div 4 that season,, we beat Blackpool 1-0 at home in the league and Freight Rover, and drew 1-1 at Bloomfield, a Tuesday night game. In the long list of "different ways to balls up a chance of winning at Blackpool" that occasion involved us taking the lead and conceding an equaliser within a minute.
