OUR club...

[thebish]

Superb OP, Bowtun Warrior. Best bit, for me:

Now, come August we’ll still be there. Be it Brighton or Manchester, we will be there. Why? Because this is OUR club. The club WE love. The club WE stand side-by-side for.

or - to be fair... sit!

[Turkish Trotter]

Got to agree with Bowton Warrier, Get him in that changing room to give the same to the players, problem is do they care as much about OUR club as we do ?? Somehow I doubt it, as the majority won't be at Brighton or Manchester next season with us, they'll be elsewhere saying that they have a passion for whoever pays the most.

[boltonboris]

Despite what's said about footballers, they do on the most part have proffessional pride and they DO care about fans. They also care about their reputations and I'd like to think the lads at our club have a bit more self-respect than others.

Let's see..

Either way COME ON YOU WHITE MEN!!!!!!

great OP but i would be lieing if i said i still felt 100% that way about the club and football in general. haven't for about 3 or 4 years really.

sunday really does have an end-of-an-era feel to it sadly, but you never know.

either way, when august comes around i'll be excited for the season again, whichever division we are in.

[americantrotter]

I'll be watching from home. Great OP.

Hopefully i'll hear the away end all game through the tv. Might help calm the nerves. At least it's on the tv, 8 of the 10 games are being shown live here in the states.

Still my team no matter what. If it was about glory we'd be wearing read like so many other sob's.

Ah, thank you. Now then, let me try something. Original post. Nope, not difficult to type out in the least!

Not as far as Knight and Mark Davies are concerned and will both be gone either way. Sorry can't see anything other than Championship football next season and the prospect of that no longer fills me with doom

Oh you little bugger



Mind, 2,700 of us won't be standing on Sunday. They may as well remove my seat

Your a real ray of sunshine every time i see one of your posts recently.. Just for one last game can you not get behind the team Even the majority of usual doomers have shown hope and support for the lads in this thread..

[Harry Genshaw]

Big responsibility on all you guys lucky enough to have a ticket. You're representing all of us and how we feel about our club.

Whatever happens, we want lots of noise throughout and 2700 hoarse and knackered fans in the away end at the final whistle.

We have faith in you and in our team.

C'mon Bolton

And deny myself the chance to be the only one to say I told you so
We've had so many chances to get out of it and blown it every time can't see Sunday being any different.As I said it doesn't fill me with dread going down if it isn't this year it'll be next or the one after ,we can no longer compete in this league do you really want us to be a club that just barely survives year after year? lets rip the plaster off and get it over with and back to proper football

oh I think there will be 1000 of those!! you've rather missed the boat - some have been at it since October!

I can't do it... Gave up my ticket today...

Going for a walk... Mobile off...

Aw, c'mon Will. Even if we lost - which I don't think we will -it won't be any worse than some things we've coped with before. Imagine being fourteen years old, football mad, and watching us leading 3-1 at half-time in the F.A.Cup final, and then seeing us lose 4-3 to fxcking Blackpool. Saw it on a neighbour's 15" black and white TV, and was totally devastated. Walked about in a daze for days after. Doubt anything can ever be worse than that for me.

It's like a road accident, you want not to look.. but you just can't help yourself..
The hope just keeps reeling you in... but oddly it won't cut like Bristol or Tranmere [first time] or Watford if it goes awry
and it won't elate like Preston or Reading of old..
may be that's just me.. may be I should walk the dog or photograph some horse racing somewhere..
