Seems to have been removed. I'd be interested to see the first game of 78/9. It ended in defeat at home to Bristol City but it was a big moment for us being back in Div 1 and Alan Gowling scored a screamer. The goals from Bolton V Tottenham and Bolton V Luton from 77/78 are on You Tube. I know coz I put um there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that one Wasnt going to go as borough were away at caernarvon Missed the bus so went to burnden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger_Dubuis Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I remember a miserable, heavy home defeat by Leicester one season, sunny day it was. And they only brought a few hundred with them in those days And the Sheffield Wednesday away following in 80/81, they packed out the Manchester Road side of the Embankment, only the Geordies in 82/83 brought more in that 3 season spell. I see on the TV list Burnley away 77/78, Sunderland away 77/78 and Sunderland away 79/80 are 3 televised away wins that aren't on youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance! In fact the only Bolton stuff I think I can remember ever seeing on these "classics" compilations is the Reading play off final, the Ipswich game featuring Worthy's goal and the Fulham promotion game in 78. Probably not much else worth exposing a national audience to I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they packaged it all up and made it available for payment in some form ... I'd pay it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiwhite Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 That era saw the worst ever away following in my years watching the Whites, a pitiful 91 in the away end at Watford, we got stuffed 3-0 and the entire second half was spent singing "Who's up Elton John, Who's up Elton John....Luther Luther Blissett...Luther Luther Blissett"....mostly thanks to the coach load from the Albion, which I'm pretty sure Winny organised. Same with QPR and the 7-1 tanking, was only something like 100 there with the solitary travel club coach barely half full, pretty sure a handful off here were on that coach. Same day Tony Knowles hammered Steve Davis. After that match on arrival at Burnden, me, Brixton and a few others walked up Manny Road with Jim McDonagh who'd got off the team coach and was catching a train to Southport where he lived at the time. He promised us his shirt and Brixton his gloves if we beat Sheff Wed the following week.....I got his shirt during the pitch invasion but Brixton didn't get his gloves. Still got the shirt somewhere, blue one sponsored by the BEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it wouldn't be such a huge task for a company to do, especially if people had to pay to access it. Strange that a lot of our 90's until 2001 promotion stuff isn't more available, sometimes the club sticks an Eidur goal up from about 1999 and it's like unearthing lost footage.

Yeah not too much from when Roadrunner got sacked off, which was at the end of 96/7. I've got bits and bats. I've got our 4-0 win over Bury up on YouTube and there's some more I should put on there at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those London followings were really poor considering we've generally been guaranteed a fairly reasonable following given the amount of London based ex pat Bolton fans. Maybe there's more of them now than there was then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 My older brother was one of them apparently. Had a flat in Camden and went to all the London games. Last time I saw him he said there was a decent group that used to go together to southern aways. Wish I could ask him. Not seen or heard from the cunt for 35 years.

MancWanderer Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I don’t actually remember any specific games from that era. 81-82 was my last season going regularly at that time as I went to uni late 82 so missed most of the 82-83 season My abiding memory was just how shocking it was turning up at Burnden and seeing such small crowds after the bumper crowds from 76-80. No chance of the creative accounting that had gone on earlier when we regularly reported crowds of around 18,000 yet you could barely move!!

Think I had the full lot for the first season at the Reebok but the tapes wore out sadly (imagine explaining that to a kid these days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should focus on that era a bit more than the 80s and the bits of 70s stuff I've posted. Peter Smith on commentary ... not quite as charismatic as Dave!
