Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

Yes me and 5 others going, doing this on the coach though. Far too much messing about getting there on the train. Expect to see the attacking variation of the 4 4 2 formation for this one, but probably won't be with mr tinker man.

I seriously thought about doing this one, but the coach leaves at 7.30am. Presuming it arrives at around 2pm, that's a fifteen hour return journey. Feck that!

Looking at getting tickets for this match tonight and going on the train from Southampton.

Are most Bolton fans going in the terraced area rather than the seated area? I'd rather stand but I want to be with the rest of our fans too.

Brindley Arms are running a 3rd coach. £25 with a few spaces still available.

Club coaches generally get there between 1 & 1:30, 40 min break half way.

From the football ground guide -

"There are a couple of pubs within about 10-15 minutes walk of the ground; 'The Arrow' and 'The Airfield Tavern' (formerly 'Brewsters', which according to Stephen Pugsley also has a handy fish and chip shop next door called Palmers). Richard Reardon a visiting Carlisle fan adds; 'The Arrow is only 10-15 minutes walk away. The weather was excellent so most of our substantial following sat outside at a number of picnic tables. Not a wide choice of beers but one real ale available. Both sets of supporters mixed well and Sky TV. Police presence outside but it was all very friendly'. Rob Laight a visiting Birmingham City fan informs me; 'As we were early for the game we drove to the Arrow and parked in their large car park and then decided to leave our car there during the match. The Arrow is a great pub to visit, very friendly and the home supporters were easy to talk to. Incidentally, The Arrow serves excellent food at prices that were easily lower than any local chippy'.

To find this pub, from the ground car park, walk back up the road past the ground to the top of it and turn right. At the end of this road, turn left onto the main road and after a short distance take the first right. Go straight down this road through the new looking residential area and after about ten minutes of walking, you will see a clearing on your right and just beyond this there are some shops and the Arrow pub in the middle."

Sounds like the Arrow is the best bet, it as cheap as anyway I have seen, its got sky. it has 77% 4 or 5 * reviews and not a single review of less than 2 *s

Both pubs are within reasonable proximity to the ground but the airfield tavern had had lots of negative reviews with 44% giving it 1* out of 5 and is more of a restaurant than a pub, you have to wait for a waitress to seat you, ask if you want drinks(this process takes 2o mins apparently),the wait for waitress to ask if you want food, you could be there for 45 mins and not even have any food!

So basically the Arrow sounds like the best bet.

Well it's the same Ref - Darren Deadman.
Who's that coming up the hill boys,
The Wanderers are coming up the hill boys,
They all laugh at us, they all mock at us,
They all say our days are numbered,

Born to be a Wanderer, victorious are we....

If the day out if half as good as the Bournemouth one, it'll be memorable.

Just for anyone driving, I had to drive down to Swindon this morning - used M6/M5. There's at least 8 sets of roadworks on the way, took me 4 hours to get to Cheltenham. Might be easier on a Saturday with less traffic, but still a bind...

It'll be a class do travelling down with them, but alas, I'm unable to make it

Terraces for me and old Mr RobbieSavagesLeg.
I'd rather support Bolton than be you.
