Youri McAnespie Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Eagles definitely - "fuck you Nobheads" rather than pitch traipse after. When did he grow three Inches too? It were grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Superb today. Loved every minute of it. Very emotional and very proud of how fantastic OUR football club can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted November 14, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2021 What a club, what a fan base. More there than 2 near neighbours get for championship games. Great to see the old boys. Of the current crop, Amaechi has some skill and the 49 in midfield looks like he has something, Pettifer I think he’s called. Get him out on loan, see what he’s about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Traf Posted November 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2021 Thirteen thousand. Thirteen fucking thousand. Let that sink in. Incredible support again. Can't begin to fathom how moved Gethin & his family must be. The Bolton family is alive & well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted November 14, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2021 What's that yielded cash wise- around 100k? Not sure how much she needs, but that surely will put a dent in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 One of the best days ever at that stadium imo. Just to see Okocha and McGinlay score for one very last time. Campo was sublime,amongst the oldies still got it were Stelios, David Lee, Ricky Gardner, Eagles…and Ian Evatt. 13k for a Charity match?, Pie eaters would have been lucky to break 3k, the tinpot tossers.

Members Rudy Posted November 14, 2021 Members Share Posted November 14, 2021 Absolutely brilliant. Loved every minute of it. In hindsight I wish I would have taken my little girl for her first game. I’ll save that event for a wet cold drab 0-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Superb, Jnr was really happy to see "all the old guys you keep banging on about" She loves Ivan Campo, but hey, who doesn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andybarm Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 An utterly fantastic day. 13k fans on and a genuine feeling of positivity about our club, it’s history and it’s forward journey. So glad my kids (8 and 11) have fully bought into following the wanderers, they loved it today. Very proud fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Got there for the second half the vibe around the stadium was tangible, the love for the club radiated off the pitch onto the terraces and reflected back in equal measure, I had a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye for the whole of the second half, so glad my lad was sat with me and experienced the love & positivity from all there, went for a beer after and an hour after the game ended we headed back to the car parked behind the south stand and there was still 200 plus fans waiting for the legends to come out of the hotel, luckily I got to see JJ and Jussi, they were fantastic with the fans posing for pictures and signing autographs, watched on for 20 minutes and no request was turned down, JJ was still mobbed as I drove of the car park… utterly wonderful occasion….. what a special football club is BWFC.

Obviously things can be more complicated than we may sometimes think but a DVD of this match, the pre-game and post game stuff, interviews etc. would rake in a good bit more too. It may ready be thought of but, just in case, if anyone has an in at the Wanderers to suggest this it would be worthwhile.

onefinfrandsen Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) So emotional today from the moment the legends came out to warm up , to Karen and gethin being introduced to the crowd. Like being transported back to the big Sam glory years, campo looked like he’d never been away. Still buzzing what a day.

Naytch Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 What a fantastic afternoon that was, definitely had a lump in my throat seeing so many of the players who meant so much to me growing up take to the field one final time. Bolton Wanderers is a magnificent football club. A special day and a lot of money raised for a great cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underpants Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Got my picture taken with Jussi. I'm well older than him but I still felt like a kid. I was surprised on how far MND had effected Gethins mum considering how recently she was diagnosed. Great day for everyone. God bless the Jones family, and not forgetting Stephen Darby and his charity. Proud to be a Wanderer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted November 14, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2021 I cried , more than once. what a day.

We still are to have this club. bursting with pride tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werder barmen Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 i think it shows just how supportive the town is really, and that the club is heading in the right direction on and off the field i think something like these would be good one per season abit like a family fun day type thing, from the interviews ive seen over on twitter especially SKD the old boys seemed to enjoy it just as much as us fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
