DavidLeesMullet Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 1 minute ago, CambridgeBWFC said: My first ever live football game was at anfield watching Bolton beat Liverpool in the cup in 92, I was 10 and was in the centenary stand with my dad who was the Bolton fan and his mate from work who was Liverpool and got the tickets. I wasn't really a Bolton fan having not grown up in Bolton, and my dad hadn't done a great job, but from that day it set the seed. From the next season we got season tickets travelling from Cheshire to Bolton each game, not far but still a trip. I kept my season ticket through uni, but had to miss out on a few mainly Holldsworth Wembley and Preston in Cardiff, but otherwise kept that going until the 2010 season when I just lost my passion and personal reasons meant I didn't want make that trip week in and week out as my family had long since given up. Not long after I moved down Cambridge way and haven't seen as much as I had liked, the last 4-5 years I started to reconnect with the club. It was shit at first but through all the pain of that I rediscovered my deep rooted love for the club travelling to a number of home and away games. This season has been a revelation, we are a club again and one I am deeply proud of, I have watched every game and am excited by the sport again. I really hope we seal things tomorrow, but if we don't then we still go again next week and whilst not going up automatically would be horrible, the journey this season has been phenomenal and regardless of what ultimately happens, my club exists and beats firmly in my heart. COYWM! First ever Bolton match was the Legends match in 2016, saw some great players on the day though not in their prime sadly. Must admit got quite emotional when Fabrice Muamba came on. My first league match was a disappointing 0-0 draw against Bradford the same year. Can't get to many matches due to money, Ill health, but hope to get to some next season covid permitting.

Ruba Mustafa Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Soooo looking forward to this. Still hoping that we can win the league, tho we may av run out of games to do that now, but WE NEVER GIVE UP. Its great that our destiny is in our own hands, I’m certain that we won’t waste this opportunity. Another 1-0 will be fine. I actually really really enjoy these 1-nillers, smug in the knowledge that try as they might, the opposition ain’t gonna score! 😂 Anyone else?

perth_white Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 The only games I've managed to watch this season have been the 2 televised here. My Dad has insisted that I don't get up in the middle of the night to watch and jinx it. So in a few hours I'll be dropping enough Temazepam to knock a horse out. Hopefully when I wake the usual culprits will be moaning about another 1-0 win and the rest of the not rights on here will be celebrating and drinking heavily.

Leyther_Matt Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Slept surprisingly well (eventually). Still wasn’t expecting to be awake at this time though and the game was literally the first thought on my mind. Club shop order is ready to collect (home shirt and some gear for my mate’s lad who has become BWFC obsessed this season despite his parents supporting the Manc clubs) so I’ll nip up this morning and offer up a prayer to the football gods.

Members Popular Post Rudy Posted May 1, 2021 Members Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2021 Gather found ladies, Rudy has a story to provide a bit of nostalgia Started off being a wanderers fan as my granddad took me, all kids at school supported United even wore the kits, this was around the Cantona era, they were winning everything but never went I couldn’t understand supporting a team you would never go to watch especially when one was down the road Si many highs and lows Liverpool away, league cup final losses, reading play off final, relegation, promotion, Europe, 5-0 Its been an absolute rollercoaster. The last decade has been awful, seen the soul ripped out of my club and town, it’s been heartbreaking. Seeing us what seemed like minutes from going out of business was the lowest of the low, and I know people will say it’s only football, but it genuinely felt like one of the lowest points of my life. Sleepless nights wondering if my boyhood club would be around in the morning. Football had become a worry rather than an enjoyment. Enter Sharon and FV even under Keith Hill there was a little bit of optimism that we were in better hands, our youngest ever side made up of kids getting a 0-0 against professional opposition was an immense sense of pride. Ian Evatt was a breath of fresh air, I didn’t know much about him (turns out I’ve been on a course at the same time as him, small world) The way he spoke was energetic, @Casino said he was like Rioch, he was right, he’s honest, open to make mistakes and learn from them. You believe what he says, full confidence in him all the time. Even the worst results under IE I still believed he was the right man, he just needed time and support. He got that in abundance from the board, and was trusted to bring the right players in. The football we are playing now, the buzz around the town, the unity with fans is the best it has been since BSA. Every single player from Santos To Maddison has played a role this season and I’m so so proud of them all it feels like that Big Sam team, it feels like that promotion team. This is a big day in our clubs history, we are almost there, ready to dip at the finish line and bring it home. I have ever confidence that we will this afternoon. I hope I get the chance to bump into Sharon one day and say thank you for saving my club I’ll never forget it Can’t be there today because of work but if you’re going down, be safe have fun and have a beer or two for me THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING COYFWM!
