RUREADY2ROLL Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 The 1978 promotion season did anybody go to the Blackpool vs Blackburn game after our scheduled game at Oldham was called off? We went over and was in their paddock when it kicked off in the Blackpool end; after the police gained control about 150-200 were being moved to the Blackburn end and as they passed us I noticed a few of them - they were Bolton. Only took a minute before it kicked off in the Blackburn end and the police had a cordon round them for the whole game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really was an incredible following. Probably the first time I realised that the ‘potential’ that people talked about was actually real. unfortunately the potential has never materialised , and never will , the public of Bolton are fickle as fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the absolutely legendary days out of 2 seasons ago have been forgotten about or sidelined a bit by recent events, we took loads everywhere and will again.

It felt like I'd been whacked in the guts with a sledgehammer. Got sprayed with cs gas on the train journey down there & rolled back into Bolton at 4am. Was up for work at 7!!

wakey Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 created more chances as a 3rd division side at Anfield than we do in half a dozen games put together now. Football's shit now compared to what it was, not just our rabble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped massively by the foresight of whoever chartered the train. No way would that many have gone the same distance on a coach. It was just a pisser that the return journey was via outer mongolia or somewhere. Someone in our carriage had one of those tiny televisions and we got to see just how bad Felgate's error had been. Fucking hell, he could have headed that away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Birmingham incident occurred on the way down. A message came through the carriage speakers from the guard stating that, as we'd made good speed thus far and were about twenty minutes ahead of schedule, we'd sit at the platform at New Street for twenty minutes. About ten minutes into the wait, with the lads in the forward coaches getting restless, they started having a go at a black lad sat at the platform with his briefcase. I think probably a bit of race-related songs were being sung so the lad calmly put his case on his lap, opened up the locks and took from it a can of CS gas. Walked over to the open window of one of the carriages and sprayed the entire tin through the window. Lads were running through our carriage with eyes running.

No, I don't have a clue why he'd be carrying CS spray either. but it's better than walking to the window pretending to have a can of gas, putting his hand to the window and shouting Gas-Gas-Gas and, for a bit of realism, the Bolton fans in the carriage played along with it.
