June 25, 20214 yr Not Bolton but there was a fine bit of graffiti on the car park wall of Wigan college car park that simply stated, "FUCK THE ARGIES!" The fact it was still in fine fettle nearly 20 years later when I was there is testament to the quality of the paint.

Modern shit, being made of water and turmeric with all its EU safety guidelines is dead rubbish.
June 25, 20214 yr Great lever in the 90’s inbetween st Williams and China wall, on the side of a house was a huge spray painting of a guy snorting Coke, and underneath it said Coke, the real thing

Saw Fulham Fc on a wall at the side of a cinema in faded paint in Barrow, never played each other since 1969.
June 25, 20214 yr On an episode of Minder I spotted BWFC on a wall. It was years before I even considered that it might be Boreham Wood FC. Or Bray Wanderers.
June 25, 20214 yr Got pissed on a Friday night in the Blooming Rose in Leeds when living there as a student (1977?) . Painted BWFC all over the wall outside in marker paint when I got back. Coppers stood and watched me clean it all up until about five in the morning... they figured out who did it by following the yellow footprints into my flat.. Fair does.

June 25, 20214 yr I remember a woman’s story in the letters page in the BEN. She had been travelling through a desert and spotted a building, she went over to buy something thinking it was shop and it was just a empty hut and inside someone had painted BWFC on one of the walls. She said she wasn’t into football but got homesick seeing it. Made me giggle at the time as we wasn’t doing very well about 1983ish.

Scratched into the stone. Old Tut was a visionary.
June 27, 20214 yr Author The sinister " Welcome Back Bolton " written on a wall in massive letters just before entering Blackpool North station.
