RUREADY2ROLL Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Feb 20 1965 5th round FA cup match V Liverpool, lost 1-0. Over 57,000 on Burnden that day, fantastic atmosphere. This is the away thread Went to the league cup games home and away in 67. 1-1 at theirs and beat them 3-2 in the replay. Think Gordon Taylor scored at Burnden. Went the Anfield game with a school friend and his dad who was a scouser and he went in the cop and we went in the boys pen; the idiot kept shouting Bolton when we were winning and the Scouser kids were not too happy we had to leave early when they equalised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Seem to remember going to Stoke on a baking hot summers day, possibly 1st game of season. 0-0 I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny The Ball Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I did a coach to Carlisle early 70's and it was full of loons; several got nicked. Maybe you was on our coach Mention of coaches to Carlisle brings back memories of 1975/76 season - our first promotion push under Ian Greaves - we always travelled with either Hargreaves from Moor Lane bus station or if they were fully booked with Ribble who were always cheaper but always made you wished you had booked earlier with Hargreaves because they were not the best or most reliable of coaches and were full of all the not rights. Anyway to Carlisle - our coach broke down somewhere just past Tebay and it was February , it was cold and it started to snow and it was about 130pm , police arrived and said they would radio for a replacement coach and told us to wait for the replacement. However such was the desire to see the game we all piled off and started walking and running up the hard shoulder towards Carlisle thumbing lifts and waving scarves - we soon spread out over a good half mile and then to our amazement cars and vans started pulling in and we subsequently found on the way home that everyone got a lift to the ground in time for kick off . Just looking in Rothmans yearbook - Carlisle's previous 2 home crowds had been 7k and 6k v Fulham and v Notts County - we turned up and it was just shy of 13k - proper big turnout that day - thankfully for those of us on that coach If anyone is interested my first away game was Sheffield Wednesday on a Wednesday night in 1971 and apart from the 3 older lads who took me I did not see one other Bolton fan , and was told in no uncertain terms not to cheer if we scored and my main memory of that visit was seeing an Electric scoreboard for the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madthatter Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Can't be sure but reckon it was a local derby. Preston or Bury?

tkonion Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 What took you so long? I didn't know anybody who went to aways up to then. It was my comeback season after a couple of years of staying away to, there's something about seeing Bolton at a low point that makes me want to get off my arse and to play my small part.

I've heard him tell the story of a trip to Carlisle & how the Carlisle police are still looking for a Fred Decker. Yep thats the one Did he tell you about when we got out the ground? About 40 of us and around 200 charged towards us - FD went at them and we all followed and then the Carlisle lot started to run. They went round this alley and as we turned they were still running until they realised there was only about 6 of us left. FD will tell you the full story because I cant remember the details Edited March 25, 2018 by RUREADY2ROLL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FD will tell you the full story because I cant remember the details That's it. Briefly, as you say, he led the charge into them & they scattered but he got gripped by a policeman. The PC then told him what a fearful kicking they were going to give him in the van so he managed to break free & ran like mad onto the moors ( ??) followed by some Carlisle fans. After a while running, he looked back & only one was still following so he doubled back & flattened him, then sneaked back into town & smuggled onto a train & hid in the toilet all the way back to Preston. His telling of it has a lot more detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montyrays Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Remember the Carlisle away about this time. Can remember wearing a satin ‘cup’ rosette on my parka and being frozen. Always travelled to away matches with about 5 big fellas in the back of my dads 1972 mk1 ford transit van. The small ones. First thing to go on was the calor gas and beef teas all round as we hurtled down the m6 probably at max speed 50mph. Health and safety largely absent back then.

Members bolty58 Posted March 26, 2018 Members Share Posted March 26, 2018 I think mine was a 2-1 away defeat at the bucket shakers? Seem to recall Alex Dawson scoring for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Take Hunt Off Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Could be the same one as me 1-2. Franny Lee for us(pen) 1964-65 23300 on Gigg Lane!! School night as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Take Hunt Off Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Think Alex Dawson was at PNE 64-65 Colin Bell played for them though Bolty's game could be 1966-67 again a 1-2 Defeat followed by a Bury relegation. Dawson could have scored in that game as they signed him from Preston. We also lost 1-2 in 1968-69 followed by yet another Bury relegation. They were our bogey team.

The Wanderer Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Derby, not too sure on the year. We lost 3-1, think Malcolm Christie scored a pen. We was certain we was down and it kicked off massively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 26, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted March 26, 2018 I got a lift from the local milkman that would'nt happen either! Me and a mate were walking through Harwood to get the bus up to Blackburn for the promotion game (Worthington - 1-0) and a bloke stopped his car and asked if we were going to the game. Got a lift there and back after he'd waited for us to get back to the car park after the celebrations. Like you say, it wouldn't happen now.

Might be getting wires crossed. It could well have been the later one where my dislike for Alex Dawson came from. Seem to recall he was an ex DMB jock with a boxers schnozz. It was certainly that 64-65 game as it was definitely a night match. First time for me under floodlights which I found magical and, as you say, a packed crowd with a great atmosphere. Devastated we lost and hated those shithouse no marks ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Take Hunt Off Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I went to my second away game at PNE in the FA cup it was a replay we lost 3-2 & Alex Dawson scored at least two of the goals as you say Bolty looked more like a boxer than a footballer he was known as the 'black prince' by them (?) Davies & Lee scored for us & a wall collapsed on their kop again a bumper crowd over 30000 on Deepdale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
