Thank fuck

If you're the buyer, maybe you pull out now. Wait a few weeks and buy it out of administration or from the Davies family.

Good Idea Jol BWFC.

I would rather have the money invested in the club instead of a slightly larger yacht in Monaco

Wait for admin takes the chance the trust and their high net worth nip in

Better to do the deal now

And who us going to fund us through administration

This is the problem. I’m quite worried that it might be worse than admin if there is no buyer.

if youre that much of a pennypincher , won't you just get gazumped once it gets near the end ?

that Plan sounds like someone not buying them in the 80s just so you can pick over the bones 30 odd years later. 

Owt could happen while youre 'waiting' .. 

I won't  be shocked if we find out next week that the reason Direct Debits for season tickets werent taken is because we are already in administration

I will be as it’s impossible unless someone has found a court that doesn’t report matters

to put it into context it’s like we find out Monday we won 3-2 today

I was always a bit worried about my car when playing on Barlow Park on a Sunday morning.... never knew if it would be there or burnt out after the game.

Can't really remember where this is as not lived in the Bolton area for a long long time, however, when young I can remember going to some sort of event on Leverhulme park, anyway went with family and we parked our car on some estate near there, OMG we certainly weren't from a palatial part of town but it was like walking through a bomb site on the edge of Beirut. Think there was a bit of an athletic track near there.

I suppose Leverhulme Park is classed as Darcy Lever

Estate across road near new house farm footie pitches, rough as fuck

Breightmet?

When about 12 or 13 I used to play for school rugby team (wanted to play for football team but wasn't good enough), anyway you only need turn up and you could get in the rugby team.

Hardly any other schools in Bolton used to do rugby so we used to play at some very Dodgy areas around Manchester, Warrington and Liverpool areas.

Can remember once going to Kirkby one frosty Saturday morning, our game was called off (frozen) but the older lads that used to share the bus still had their game on, we had to hang about for a couple of hours round some tower blocks known as the piggeries.

Now that was rough!

And, BBC news reader Clive Myrie was with us that day.

I spent a season playing at New House Farm. Was muddy as fuck. That’s all I remember 

Having been brought up just off High Street  Mancroft Avenue was the worst I knew. Where I live now in Bristol it's Hartcliffe. 

We should offer Shemima Begum a council house in one of those two. That would stop her coming back.

Used to dread playing there when you had silky skills like me  NHF helped Bolton cloggers and wooden tops stop you in your tracks. 

I thought we were one of the most financially stable clubs in the championship

Always been wet pitches, used to be a colony of great crested newts at one end living under some rubbish!

Bastards running horses up and down the grass just leave ankle breakers.

Some interesting characters live in the streets between there and Leverhulme.

One of them once had it away with one of our strimmers.

You should book a slot at the comedy store. 🙂

Used to go to away games as a kid when my mum played rounders, Barlow Park was a favourite of mine as was Sharples school. Both great for making dens!

Nothing's happened in the last couple of years whilst the club's been up for sale and I'm not sure there will be a flurry of bidders now that we're looking doomed to relegation.

Mancroft Ave, now that was fucking grim, bet you knew Big Balls Wally

Doesn't ring any bells.

Went to primary school with a lass that lived there and later in my teens met some bird who I didn't know lived there until I took her home.

Decent shag though as was her sister although never managed a threesome. 

Edited March 2, 20197 yr by H

Mate of mine lived on swan lane or high st, anyway what ever it was his house backed into mancroft AVE.

Top bloke, very clever and not at all representative of his manor, but not at all ashamed of it either.
