Seems to be the only away match without a thread, so...........

 

 

It's my Birthday, so probably going

Question- What is the largest following we have ever brought away- excluding Wembley trips?

In my spectating lifetime I reckon OT in 1991

 

11 or 12k wasn't it?

Thought it was sub 10, but not sure

 

 

Everton in the League cup

 

Everton in the fa cup

 

Huddersfield in the cup

 

Liverpool cup

 

United cup

 

 

 

 

Probably the most spectacular was to turn out 5k, I think, midweek in London v arsenal

 

 

I've left blackburn off as dad was at work

United was 10k

 

Thought it was just league hence me saying Blackburn.

It's wways, make your own rules up

Thankfully was present at all then games also think we took 8k to Derby in the 1/4 final the game before the Everton game, also must have been big following at Elland Road for the 2nd replay against Newcastle but as I was locked out so not sure what the following was that night but as the attendance was over 40k must have been 10-15k Bolton on. Miami who was the Walkden lad?

Forgot Leeds

Oldham used to attract good numbers

 

Maybe the boxing day one was big

Oasis was the dogs bollocks for adidas in the early to mid 80's Marc.

Never seen any photos of that place. I was pretty young on my first visits to "old" Manchester, just remember the Arndale, the market and that bus station to be dark, forbidding places

Just been watching Th'ogden's latest effort from the Oxford game. Port Vale fan left a comment, "Can't wait for Bolton at home, it'll be a blood bath!"

 

 

 

Re the Port Vale lot, they always saw us as a major target/scalp in those days but always came seriously unstuck when we met.

I was too young for earlier meetings between the clubs i.e 1970's... so can only presume our Lever Enders and Warbys gang smashed them all over.

 

April 1973 at Port Vale, 2-2 & I think we clinched promotion that day with probably a few thousand Bolton fans there.

 

Before kick off there was fighting on the Vale end with Vale and Stoke versus Bolton, so several hundred more Bolton ran across the pitch to join in. The trouble carried on throughout the match with plenty of arrests & a good number carted out for treatment with stones/bricks flying.

 

Near the end a ballboy was threatened for wasting time but I think we scored very late. A very lively day.

 

Never saw a Vale fan at Bolton.

Proper shit hole, Longport used to be the closest station and pubbed it to Burslem in my youth.

I love the fact stokes naughty 40 book makes no mention of port vale in it whatsoever.

 

Not one

 

May as well pat them on the head and say 'ahh'

Oasis was the dogs bollocks for adidas in the early to mid 80's Marc.

 

Fuck me thats a blast from the past - Oasis....

Oh nice one! 2 hour train journey in front of me this will fill the gap.

Great interview from Noel Gallagher, Oasis the shit hot shoe shop gets a glowing reference....

What about SMC; Shirt Manufacturing Co? Got some great shirts from there towards the end of the 70s.

70s was great for football fashion, skins, crombie boys, long haired platform shoe lunkheads, punk and the mod revival, I doubt you would see that again in a 10 year span.

You need to read the book Northern Monkeys about that scene!

I remember arriving on Port Vales car park as a Luton van pulled up, the back shutter was pulled up and about 40 Bolton piled out, what year was that?

 

Oh and I'm in, on Brixton's coach

I went vale when I was a student in staffs about 96ish and some loon ran at our end that day ...... the people of burslem are genetically ugly fuckers......I worked in an N40 pub in stoke that was fun good lads tbf

Fuming

Bit before my away days but Spurs in 77/78 we were supposed to have taken plenty -not sure if the story related to the league (0-1) or the cup game (2-2)

Did JB score twice that day? My dad took me in the car & I seem to remember us losing when we left & finding out we had drawn when we turned the radio on. I was only 10 so it's all a bit vague but I've always had it in my head that we had been 2-0 down?

Great day apart from dodging bricks and bottles flying in each direction for most of the match!

 

It was on all day - before during and after the game. Mainly Stokies before and after but Vales lot during the game.

 

Apart from the fun and games I recall that this was yet another stellar day for the majestic John Byrom. What a player he was in his prime.
