Liverpool are awful

I remember it well great fun and a great result

Brum winning - god this season must be the worst ever upto end of September

Just looked at the table for the first time in weeks it's grim

Diego Costas face after that Chelsea winner was classic.

 

Great ball from our Marcos

Other than his horrendous OG v Utd he was decent at LB I thought

 

Not great, not shit, just decent

I got a proper kicking in the early 80s at Bramhall Lane. Bolton had won 5-1 and the locals were less than happy. I'd bought a new pair of jeans from Stolen from Ivor on way to coach and changed into them en route. Fucking wankers left me with no knees in the fuckers by the time I'd got back to coach.

 

It would be fashionable these days!

 

 

Remember a blinding goal in that one by Peter Nicholson. Funnily enough, no trouble at all for me at that one but previous games there had their moments. I remember a coach getting bricked - every window out with us all lying on the floor and the dickhead driver went around the block again to see who had done it to encounter another shower of half house bricks. Mind might be playing tricks on me but the driver definitely got a slap for going around again off one of our lot and it may well have been a very well known Bolton lad who did it.

 

On another occasion, my first time at Bramhall Lane as a wet behind the ears teenager, three of us arrived late and missed the kick off and asked a copper which was the away end. Bastard only sent us into their end. We came up some steps right in the middle of their mob and had to play it cool and slowly make our way to the fringes before having to walk all the way round the fucking cricket ground to get to where we should be.

 

Sheffield coppers have always been bastards.

was sheffield one a ground with only 3 stands due to the cricket

 

like northampton?

Yes, built the main stand in the early 70's on it which nearly bankrupted them, similar thing happened to Chelsea.

 

For many years Bramhall Lane was the one of the 7 grounds to have hosted Test cricket in England.

Think it's oldest professional ground in the country isn't it?

Aye.

 

It's a bit like Trigger's broom, though.

Coyle to Ross County.

 

Sighs of relief in Oldham mistaken for tail end of Hurricane Maria.

Did they only have three stands again when we played them in a League Cup game, the year we got to final v Liverpool. I think Nathan Blake was playing for them.

 

Ipswich Town (A) was the only game in that run I missed because I was on honeymoon.

No trouble for me either that day, fantastic performance by the lads. Season before was a cracking game too, just before Christmas, was rough as fuck afterwards though.... wish I had a tardis to go back, great days!!

Yes the John Street Stand opposite was closed on safety grounds for a while. I think the redevelopment was funded by taking Howard Kendall's empties back to the off licence.

Rob holding scored for arsenal

 

Wonder if there's any future payments still to be had?

 

Maybe our local newspaper journalist could find out

Our local newspaper journalist would have trouble finding his own arse with both hands

Who are "Bate"?

Belarus champions for the last 12 seasons.

It was sir and believe me, it was a decent walk getting round to our lot!

 

The 'fourth side' which wasn't if you get my drift, was a very low terrace of about 5 shallow concrete steps if my memory serves me well.

 

Wasn't Feethams the same?

That was the Ian Greaves era wasn't it? Late 70's?

 

We had some magnificent performances around that time. It all turned around for me when Jimmy Armfield was appointed in 1972 (?) and we seemed to be on the gradual up from there until we plummeted to the fourth division and the next big turnaround was winning the Sherpa Van trophy before the real glory years came around.

You missed the lowest point in Bolton's history in terms of league position then, that came with defeat at Darlington in 87/88

Christmas 76 if my memory is correct, 3-2 to us with a Whatmore brace.
