Hi from Australia
Hi everybody,
I have only recently started to become involved in EPL and have looked at a couple of teams I would like to support. Being a fifteen year old from Australia everyone of my friends go for the big 4 however I want to support a club that has passion and the underdog feeling.
I hope you can convince me even more that I am making the right choice in supporting Bolton because at the moment I am a bit tentitive but I hope that all changes because I really like the club.

G'day, qwertyboy. You know that with a user name like that you could be seen as a 'keyboard warrior' don't you?
No worries, mate, you have come to the right club and the right forum to experience the highs and the lows of football. At your age that's no bad thing - imagine following one of the 'top four' and then crying if your team doesn't win a game by 4 goals!
If you have no personal connection with Bolton then you have lots of time to look around and change your mind if you so wish. I hope you will not, even should the unmentionable happen. Keep in mind that we're a bit like Perth Glory and not a bit like the Queensland weather. In fact, keeping the weather analogy going, we're probably more akin to that in Melbourne.
There're quite a few of us in Australia on this forum, most, but by no means all, are expats. I'm an expat. but I've lived here for 55 years (if you look over to the left of the screen you'll see where).
Whereabouts are you, qwertyboy, and do you follow the local A-League? There is no need to answer those questions as they are merely polite enquires.
Anyway, welcome aboard.

I don't know what got me into Bolton but at the moment am still weighing up whether to go for Bolton or Everton? I really like Bolton but I still have my doubt about both of the teams. However Bolton seems the way to go to enjoy the true football aspect Again thanks for your support.
So what is Bolton like as a club how would you sum them up? How far off are we from maybe challenging for a top 10 place?

Ah, qwerty, that's a right good question 'n all.
Recent history will tell you that we (that's the club) qualified twice for the UEFA competition, which means we were well above, well just a bit over, tenth.
For the moment, good sir, we are in the Premier League. If you would like to see a potted history of the club you might check:
http://www.bwfc.co.uk/page/History/0,,1 ... 28,00.html
The Trotters/Whites/Wanderers have been back in the top echelon of English football for 10 years. For most of that time we, as fans, have tended to look downward rather than upward when it comes to working out where we will be at the end of each season. It seems that this season will be no different.

It was less than half a decade ago that we were bragging about 4 consecutive top 8 finishes, two of them in 6th. One particular season we finished on the same points as the mighty Liverpool who that year were crowned the Champions of Europe.. a season after our First cup final since 1995, which is no mean feat, let's hope Coyle can take us back to these glory days.
