slow times, just seen this question on twitter thought I’d stick it in here, it really is that bad...

Does anyone else have nicknames for people they see at the match whose name they don't know? 

Jimmy Hill sits on the Lofthouse Lower near me, 

 

Captain angry

Then a bloke who always has a little plastic wallet to keep his programmes in is known as rather unsurprisingly 'program guy'.

There's Tooim who sits near us and spends 80% of the game shouting "To 'im" t'other time slagging off his current scapegoat.

"Fucking Loud-Mouthed Gobshite" sits back a row and about four seats to my left.

Beavis & Butthead, father and son in NSL. 

around 20 years ago, there were two oldish guys - late 50s / early 60s who I saw together at every away match

one of them looked like a Bolton Poor Man's version of Sam Elliott

 

 

so everytime we saw him we'd shout "take it easy dude" to him

Kinell, Micky, he's all around the ground!

Two proper old gits behind us, Statler & Waldorf.

Guy in front of us always checking his bank statements on his phone, Banker Wanker.

He had just over £4k in his current account at the Wycombe game.

Guy, two seats away, wears a flying jacket with a sheepskin collar - Biggles.

I knew a guy who thought he was shit hot for directions to away matches...we called him junction 13 haha

Back in the day my dad had an old fella behind him known as Bloody hell Darby 🤣

Think I may have put this in another thread once. There used to be a couple in WSU (from Lancaster??). Every time a flick on from SKD didn’t find a Bolton player all you could hear was “thur’s nobbody thuuuur’. Endless, every game. That freezing night game against Derby(?) when Stelios scored v late on. Him and his moaning wife had already left and about a dozen folk stood up, pointed at the empty seats and in unison shouted “there’s nobody there”. 

Reminds me of back in the Burnden days. We were probably late teens. One bloke, probably late 40s used to want to latch on to the group of lads I attended with.

If I recall correctly, he was known as Mithering Bastard.

Made for Embankment this thread 😃

A guy near us  (ESL) has a penchant for wearing a Keith Hill style custard yellow bob hat, he's known as "zit head"

There's a guy who used to go in Bromilow Arms we used to call Baby Viking. He looked like a viking but similar size to Little Whitt.

Been years since I’ve got the match bus with any regularity, but did they sit on the front seats upstairs?

We had a Beavis who always stood a few people to the left of us on Burnden Terrace in the mid 90’s.  Saw him at a fair few away games too, but not seen him since the stadium move.

Statto stinking ESL out since 1997.

We have a Hank Schrader
