How you all doing!!

[ukfotp]

Finally decided to join after observing from afar for a number of years, had to join as I feel some of the members of this site have extremely short memories.

Allow me to inroduce myself:

Born Bolton many moons ago, but only lived there for short time of my meagre tenure on the planet.

Mothers family predominently Edgeworth.

Left Bolton @ 2 yr old 1970ish never lived there since, don't really know the town, apart from the family connection. and the fact that you can take the lad out of Bolton but you can't take BWFC out of the lad.

Dad RAF so lived away (in them days horse only form of transport) therefore first game, I think it was 1978 v Chelsea, stood on Railway embankment we won 2-1, I think, can't remmeber the game that much, Neil Whatmore et al. all I remember was dad took me to see Star Wars later that week, that was the Dogs Blx, but somehow flying a TIE fighter never really gripped me the same as following the Wanderers all the way down.

Eventually parents settled Preston so got to get across when my YTS wages could afford it. (Particularly liked going against PNE, I think it was O'Ghani Hatrick in the 4-0, the McGinley penalty etc.

Ist ever trip to Wembley (@ the time a dump, against Bristol , next time I made it was Reading )

I see nearly every game live, t'internet is ace, but living in Germany it is hard to get to any matches now.

Athough it was nice under Bruce Rioch to relish the odd giant killing, it was short lived. We are now enjoying are most sustained period of success, (TOP FLIGHT football) in my lifetime. I am enjoying it while it lasts.

Welcome to the site, I'm certain just by your first post that you will find a very receptive home here.

I'm off to Germany for three years myself in October (Munchin Gladbach), so you won't be the only T-W white out there

Just done a little sojourn in Bicester, what a treat that was (BSM), the new flapjack stadium is the mutts, not far from the Big House, prices gone up a bit from the old stadium but its still cheap compared to the conference.

Plus youv'e got the treat of the local derby against Koln.

Street of a thousand pubs in flapjack ain't what it used to be but it's still a better night out than most places in blighty.

I left the 'Big House' in 2005, that locale is on it's last legs, Queensway gone, Blue Pool Bar gone (can't remember it's name at the mo, plus currently in the worst lager in the world and had to have a couple of the cheeky tax free beverages ( nearly ) quite close to Paderborn.

Cologne was my destinatination of choice, Leo Sayer from Flapjack, last train back, and more bars than Strangeways.

Was it the Royal? outdoor swimming pool attached to the rear of the pub, with at hirty foot diving board. The nearest to an old English pub we had. Never liked the Queens way, but had a soft spot for the Marly and the Dutch bar (best beer I've ever tasted, even if you get sod all per glass!)
