Gonna have to buy all the old copies…loved reading them. Not related to Bolton fanzines but remember reading an issue of Red Issue where the author spoke about a Bolton V Stoke match he attended early 90s and said the violence was akin the the chaos he experienced at Old Trafford during the 70’s Fire me a PM or email smiley@whitelovefanzine.co.uk - see what I can do with the back issues. HWGA! was Howard Worgan. Think Tony did Normid Nomad. Chris McGlynn and Gary Parkinson did Tripe n Trotters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The walk from station was fun, hoping you didn’t get hit by an air rifle pellet from the high-rises. Took football violence to a whole new level, trying to walk with your eyes covered by your hands.

Hope it inspires folk to write some new stories about previous games, travelling to matches, their love for the Wanderers, etc. I’m off to the post office again first thing tomorrow morning…. If I don’t get stuck to the tarmac on the way there. So any last minute orders, get them in tonight and your shiny new book will be delivered by Thursday. Ta. www.whitelove.co.uk/shop www.whitelove.co.uk/book Also, having quite a few enquiries for back issues of fanzines, stock levels are starting to drop. Also got a good few COFTW and HWGA!

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 23, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2022 Just finished the ugly section. Fair to say my old man knew which games to avoid in the early 80’s. Not many of them major battles were fit for a lad younger than 10. unfortunately, he did seem to have a sixth sense for taking me to the vast majority of the bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Just been reading up about Dinamo Kiev (Kvyv - however they are spelling it now!). Got some Putin chants aimed at them by the Fenerbahce lot in Europe last night. Not going down too well with the authorities. Funnily enough, there’s an article online about the Kiev team of old, most of whom actually made up the majority of the USSR national team. Funny how allegiances and all that start to waiver. Written by a Wanderers fan with Ukrainian heritage. https://www.whitelove.co.uk/july2022new/ukraine-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
