Man U - the Frankie double

City - a few times - best was the last minute pen after they'd hit the bar/post countless times

Sheff Utd - 5-1 in 78

Leeds - might have been the season they were relegated from the Prem - scary

Oxford - working nearby and wandered up to the ground and paid in - only when in there realised I was in the wrong end - bastard coppers wouldn't let me out

Arsenal away in the hospitality section, was it the 2001/02 season ? Okocha came on as a sub. Pretty sure Carlos was my guest after I’d won free tickets on some radio show.

If memory serves correctly, Jimmy Tarbuck and Rory McGrath were sat near us and that Stewpot cunt from Grange Hill was the pre match compère.

Spurs away in the 77-78 promotion season, with an over 50,000 crowd.  Leading up to the game, Bolton fans were told the numbers of the turnstiles we should go in ( Park Lane end I think )  but Spurs fans got in there early & it was full, with the gates shut when most Bolton fans got there......most of the Bolton lot who got in were given a hard time but apparently the coachload from the Griffin were left alone.

 

The rest of us had to just get in anywhere & the 5 of us ( including Jeff Fearnley & Rickie Chadwick, both of whom have died in recent times, RIP ) were in the end facing where we should have been, which was full of rabid Spurs fans, so we had to keep very quiet, which wasn't easy when Whatmore had a goal disallowed & we were diddled 0-1.

 

We got out safely, & Bolton went on to win the league so fuck em, cockney cunts.

Just remembered the anthill mobs finest were in millwall territory for a 3 goal drubbing mid 80s

 

Maybe sheringham scored all 3

 

The one where the Albion coach came home with no Windows

 

We didn't take liberties and we did shit it

 

I could never write a Hoolie book

Birmingham when they opened the new stand behind the goal about 99/00

 

Mate was a Birmingham fan and got us tickets in the home end for some reason, despite it being a noon kick off on a Sunday and on sky so the away end was pretty empty

 

Jasper Carrot was on the pitch 'entertaining' the fans and a Birmingham fan in front of us kept referring to us as Scandinavian Wanderers

 

Until I 'accidentally' kneed him in the back of the head when getting up to go for a piss

Remembered another:
Swindon Town in Coca-Cola Cup Semi-Final. I'd been let down for tickets by a friend who'd told me he was big mates with Graham in the ticket office. I was gutted as we'd been to all the other games in the run that season (Except Ipswich away when I was on honeymoon)

Anyway, Swindon sent an extra couple of hundred up but they were in small groups across the home stand. Three or four in a line here there and everywhere. I lost count of the amount of threats me and wife had which wasn't helped by her being about 7 or 8 months pregnant.

One group of lads told us they were waiting for me at the bottom of the steps and as we were going out there they were. In a "bollocks to this" moment I spoke to the nearest copper and was allowed to walk around the pitch to walk out with the Bolton fans. The Swindon fans were proper knobs, blaming us for buying their tickets and wouldn't have it that we'd got them in Bolton.

Do you mean Swindon or have I completely wiped thus game from my memory banks?

A couple of these spring to mind.

 

FA Cup match away at the Emirates. Got smashed round the face from behind after Arsenal scored their first goal - possibly my lack of celebration gave me away.

 

And away at Newcastle when Jussi got done for holding onto the ball for 6.2 seconds despite no-one ever being done for the same offence before or since. Couldn't help myself, I was out of my seat screaming at the ref as we were sat very close to where it happened. Newcastle fans weren't taking too well to my reaction but all was fine after Shearer had smashed in the resulting free kick. Their fans simply spent the rest of the match laughing at me.

Sat in the Gladys Street end at Goodison in the early 2000s, the game when Duncan Ferguson was sent off for elbowing Kostas Kostantinidis. I jumped up shouting "WE CAN STILL WIN THIS LADS!" when N'Gotty pulled one back to make it 2-1, but didn't get any grief. Silly bastards must have thought I was cheering Everton on. I got 2 spare tickets off a mate who was an Everton season ticket holder on the condition my Dad drove the 3 of us. 

 

Been at Old Trafford in the scum end using an ex-gfs dads company season ticket- that was painful.

Barnsley 1988 FA Cup - stupidly threw my arms up when Ian Stevens scored for us with a header stood in their side terrace.

 

Likewise in the stand opposite the main stand in a 0-0 at midweek at Stoke early 1990s when I thought Andy Walker had scored for us and he hadn't. Locals weren't happy.

 

United, City, Sheff U, Sheff Wed

Millwall - good for the CV that one.

 

Wigan on Boxing Day. Piece of piss.

 

Bradford City. We had a discussion on what to do if we scored. McGinlay scored early and all our plans went out the window when plenty of bolton in the home stand got up to celebrate.

 

Burnley - won 1-0. Kept mum throughout the match but we stood out like a sore thumb.

 

Man U - In the posh seats. Getting beat so Traf decided to start a fight. We got thrown out.

 

Watford - never got in because PC Roscoe clocked me at the home turnstile. You're Bolton you daft cunt, fuck off to the away end, he said.

Got a freebie for the United game when Nolan scored for 1-0. Had to sit on my hands to stop myself clapping.

 

Sheffield United away in the 90s. Think Blake scored for them. Was on a corporate do.

 

Same for Boro away in the 00s when Bo Hansen scored. Didn't restrain myself so ended up having to watch the rest of the match inside on steward's orders.

Few years ago, and it was amazing.

 

Went to Wanderers vs Rovers at the Macron/Reebok (whatever it was then) with a couple of Rovers mates. Sat in the away end when Super Chris Eagles scored a stoppage time winner for us. Fucking amazing, they were absolutely fewmin. Threw chairs onto the pitch and everything. I just had to put my hood up, hands over my face and metaphorically jizz my pants. 

 

Silent car journey home for them!  :thumbsup:

Witton albion in the fa cup, managed to buy a home ticket off a local in the pub before the game. Got escorted round the pitch when they realised we were bolton. Doncaster in the mark gavin era. My dad once took me in the Bristol rovers end at burnden in the 70's to this day I don't know why. He used to always go in the away end when we went to a neutral game, been in with arsenal at bloomfield road in the league Cup. Millwall at Blackburn in fa Cup and Partick thistle at Blackburn in Anglo Scottish Cup.
