I've never known us win another league game there - its been a graveyard. Yet we've won two League Cup knockout games there in 99/00 and (more famously) 76/7. The latter was a quarter final and they had a great top flight side at the time. The Bolton fans successfully baited Leighton James that night and we came from 1-0 down at HT to win 1-2. Had my stag do in Derby that weekend and took in the game. Bit moody as well. Plenty coaches came down. We stayed over. Went out at night and had VIP tickets for a club “Destiny and Elite” Who should roll up about midnight with 40 of us from Bolton in there … Malcom Christie. 😂 Fair play he chatted with us, remember him wishing me all the best, wasn’t a bad chap that night.

Yep , looking back it was the start of a real decade of despair Quote
Biggish Dave Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I'd be very happy with a draw tomorrow. Reckon we'll get beat. Will say 3-1 Quote
onefinfrandsen Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 Happy with a point, but if we start like we did at Barnsley then you never know. Quote
Biggish Dave Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I'm probably scarred from too many pointless trips here Quote
RUREADY2ROLL Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 That McGoldrick always scores against us Quote
gonzo Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Not been as gutted about missing an away like this for ages Get stuck in boys and girls, has the makings of a lively one. 3-1 Whites. Charles 2, Morely. Quote
radcliffe white Posted January 21, 2023 Author Posted January 21, 2023 Imagine missing this one time for a beer soon😀 Quote
desperado Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 This has the feeling of a very big game. Quote

Duck Egg Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Hope I'm wrong but I just can't see us winning today. A resurgent side, at a ground we never do well on, good manager and we've just lost JDB for the season. C'mon lads, surprise me. Quote
Zico Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Anyone know any decent pubs en route for food / beer Been told Uttoxeter is alright but not any actual pubs Quote

There are quite a few pubs within another 5 minute walk of there, either around the square or just off it. Quote
bolton_blondie Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Will be watching at home with two kids. Hope they don't start throwing flares and shouting nasty names at the Derby fans. Quote

It's set up with a good 15 or more pubs well used to crowds. The town centre is, literally, full of them. Food too. There's no meet today so you'll be fine. Before the centre, coming off the A500 is a good pizza pub, the Dapple Grey. But, honestly, the options are many. Quote
