Biggish Dave Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 I'm in - love the FA Cup. The league cup can get scrapped for me though Quote
frank_spencer Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Just had them on the blower saying no trains from Manchester to BoltonBollocks I've just remembered I'm going into Manchester after the game. Never pay attention to the trains as I usually come in the car. The one time I wanted to get the train it's not cunting running. Sober night and drive it is then. Quote

Traf Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Who is going ? I land at 7 am I think so should be ok after a nap  In Quote
bolton va va Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 We could probably copy & paste the cup fred from 12 months ago & most people would say the same thing. Â For me, league survival is far more important than a cup game so i wouldn't be risking any 1st choice players......even more so with the injury news about Henry & Pratley. Quote
MalcolmW Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Huddersfield are only 4 points above the PL relegation zone, after a bright start to the season. Â Bolton 'reserves' have already beaten Hudds 'reserves' away in a league match this season. Â A heavy defeat would be bad for morale, but the visitors surely have less desire to progress in the cup than BWFC do. Quote
Lostock Whites Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 This would have been the biggest cup fixture, in the 1920s... Quote
MalcolmW Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 This would have been the biggest cup fixture, in the 1920s... Â 1922-23 last 16 away 1-1, replay home 1-0. Huddersfield finished 3rd in league and Bolton 13th. Â 1924-25 last 64 (it was called first round for the last time that season) home 3-0. Hudds were league champions both that season and the previous one. Bolton finished fourth and third between FA Cup final wins. Â 1928-29 semi-final at Anfield, won 3-1. Bolton finished 14th in league, Hudds 16th (first time Bolton had been above them since 1922). Quote
bwfc2003 Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 This would have been the biggest cup fixture, in the 1920s... It was a pretty big cup fixture in 1976 Quote
Casino Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 It was a pretty big cup fixture in 1976   indeed  show how interest in the cup has waned when you consider there'll be less than half the number of wanderers at tomorrows game than travelled to leeds road, that day Quote
radcliffe white Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Bum this off rest as many first teamers as possible  Losing 2 key midfielders was enough last week anymore we are in the soup Quote
captainmed Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Most of those travelling will be premier league glory hunters, who were no doubt supporting someone else last season.   If they were still in the Championship there would be 1K of them max.  They'll be gone in a flash once they are relegated.  Sad, but the society we live in i guess.  Edited January 5, 2018 by captainmed Quote
radcliffe white Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Bit harsh 1k always been ok travellers to us Quote
leigh white Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 When the cost of travel outweighs the cost of a ticket for a home game, anybus day ticket from Leigh to Bolton £ 5-60, rail replacement bus £ 2-50, match bus back to Leigh £ 3-00. I want some early quality time in Bolton Town Centre to soak up the cup atmosphere in the pubs. Quote
Sweep Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 I want some early quality time in Bolton Town Centre to soak up the cup atmosphere in the pubs. Are you really expecting to find some good cup atmosphere pre-kick off in town? Â You might be a bit disappointed Quote
Leyther_Matt Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 When the cost of travel outweighs the cost of a ticket for a home game, anybus day ticket from Leigh to Bolton £ 5-60, rail replacement bus £ 2-50, match bus back to Leigh £ 3-00. I want some early quality time in Bolton Town Centre to soak up the cup atmosphere in the pubs.Just drink up Leigh and pay £4 return on the match bus. Served us very well for the Burton game (ignoring the result). Quote
Dr Faustus Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 that Leigh bus takes forever- 551 to Walkden; a pint in Bull, New Inn, Albion, Shammy, Cyns, White Lion and Dunny probably quicker Quote

Fancy an early sesh in Bolton, that match bus is bobbins, your only landing at the Macron half an hour before KO, and Hogarth's and the Balmoral etc will make a change from supping in Leigh. Quote
RUREADY2ROLL Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 It was a pretty big cup fixture in 1976 Was that the one we won 1-0 at their place with over 10,000 Bolton on? Think crowd was over 27000 Â If so we had a coach from the stags head daubhill there and went out in Leeds after; one of the guys knocked one of the gates down just after they opened the turnstiles and 100's got in without paying Quote
radcliffe white Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Remember going twice in the space of a week to Leeds road, won in league cup and hammered in league Quote
darrener Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Remember going twice in the space of a week to Leeds road, won in league cup and hammered in leaguewon 3-0 and lost 4-0 Quote
