  • Did 58 mins at Wigan last week before leaving. Does that count?

    Apart from Reading game, the Torquay game was brilliant. Think it was we were so starved of success at the time that even a crappy cup competition against no name opposition was good. Bought hat,

  • Yes And all the others. Plus the Millenium stadium ones.

Horwich- my record is similar. Did go to Torquay, and missed Stoke though.

Watford - Went - Lost
Liverpool - Went - Lost
Reading - Went - Won
Villa - Went - Lost
Watford - Went - Lost

Stoke - Refuse to answer

 

Load of shite

Dear Horwich,

If Bolton are ever fortunate enough to play at Wembley, please make an appointment to have your hair cut, nails painted, eyebrows plucked, anything else which will prevent you attending.

Part-timer 😉

Went to them all.

Even the Carling Cup Final .

Had to get a ticket off a friend who I worked with who got one from an accountant who no doubt got it free via some dodgy business source. This despite being a season ticket holder for many years.

As you can tell it's still raw even now.

I was playing football in Germany in 1986 so didn't go to that one. I was obliterated at the Stoke game so that one didn't happen as I cant really remember it

I shut down v Stoke, worst feeling ever at a match. Been to everyone since I started watching in 93, so 20% win rate... Cardiff on the other hand is 50/50

Bought hat, rubbish T Shirt and everything from the sellers outside Wembley :).  Still have them somewhere.

Went to all those games, Wembley not been that kind to us, can’t stand the locaton either, only reading game was really special, probably in my all time top 3 games. 

And to make matters worse I was at Wembley when Wigan won the FA cup that was one of my worst football days ever.

Exactly the same. I'd had a season ticket every year since 1982. Ended up in a box for the carling cup final with some city fans who'd won a competition. Food and drink was good but only 2 of us went into the seats to watch the game while the rest stayed in and got pissed. It never felt to me that we were ever going to win that day.

I missed the Preston win at Cardiff. That looked brilliant. Not as good as Reading obvs

Reads like a history of Henry VIII wives if you include Cardiff

Liverpool - Divorced

Watford - Beheaded

Villa - Died

Boro - Divorced

Stoke - Beheaded

Preston - Survived

All but Bristol 

snap

Did them all & both at Cardiff, but was off with the pixies for Watford & Tranmere so can't count them, which improves my success rate.

Done the lot including the Cardiff ones

Hard to say which was the worst still can feel the sickness in my stomach after the Tranmere defeat so that takes first prize given that Stoke was a debacle but a semi final & not a life or death playoff 

Boro seemed an opportunity missed but no real bitter feeling from it.

Watford was hard to take but somehow expected.No doubt about about the winner in the win department though Reading must remember that one as their worst nightmare .

PNE not bad either.

Forgot to mention watching England beat the jocks 5-1 mid seventies 

Scary stuff drunken scots in the wembley rafters pissing on the crowd & lobbing or dropping bottles.

There were alleged to have been a 70-30 crowd split in favour or the scots that day certainly felt that way although by the time we got back to our hotel they had all left.

I had a free ticket and free travel through work for that one but there was no way on earth I was risking witnessing them living out my dream. 

 

Only went to the Watford and Villa games at the old Wembley so it hasn’t held many happy memories for me. 

Went to both games at Cardiff; the Preston game is in my top 5 favourites (recorded the highlights the other day on Sky, in fact). 

Missed Stoke. Can’t say I regret it.
