Re: Are we a good set of supporters?
Given that few people had cars back then these were fair old trecks. People there must have CHOSEN Bolton as they had the options of the Manchester Clubs (Salford especially), Blackburn, Preston and the Liverpool clubs. When we last won the F.A. Cup, Liverpool were a Second Division team, as were B...

Re: Are we a good set of supporters?
And essentially the reason crowds went down over a period of time and have gone down further since may well be entangled in a web of complex and varied reasons, but I'd still bet there is a fair old correlation to final league position in there! You can't underestimate the value of the occasional t...

Re: Are we a good set of supporters?
the thing I'm mystified about is our numbers and turnout - it is really shit. Its really not that long ago (late 70's) when we could get high 20-30k Except it isn't 'shit'. Only two teams in the area have averaged bigger attendances than us since the war... Utd and City... and we've won nothing for...

Re: Are we a good set of supporters?
Look at the large crowds clubs like Derby, Brighton, Leeds and others get despite being more recently lower level clubs than ourselves... they have fans who want to see their club do well... sometimes I get the feeling ours want to see Wanderers fail just to moan about it. It's not that simple. Cat...

Re: No Jackett required?
Well, I thought we'd be discussing giving away the lead twice more than I did a 3-1 victory. Our three goals proved what we can do when we take the game to the opposition, so I've no idea why we spent most of the 90 minutes inviting them onto us. According to Dougie's post match interview, he wants...

Re: No Jackett required?
So if we win it's because the opposition are shite, if we lose it's because we're shite, and the fact that Ream is playing so well means our manager is shit! There's still a lot to do despite these wins, but that level of negativity is just breathtaking. We're not 'shite' though. In fact that's the...

Re: No Jackett required?
Trying to figure out where we are on the form table if you use the past 6 games, looks like 3rd to me after today's result. :shock: Millwall have replaced Bournemouth at the bottom. No wins in their last six games. But they weren't at the bottom before we kicked off. They had the same sort of form ...

Re: No Jackett required?
It's fairly straightforward LLS, if we win it's coz of an Owen Coyle signing, if we lose Freedman is shit. It's like being 14 all over again. I thought you were 14. That's the only explanation i can offer for your contributions. SF is one of the few on here who actually rated Ream. Perhaps if you p...

Good result. Out of interest, would you still sack DF now or stick with him SF? What makes you think he might not be a clueless know nowt any more? Talk us through Ream's performance today.

Re: Times when you really wish you had the money
People who are interested in football and football history would be more likely to go to the Reebok to see it, perhaps even take in a game whilst they're at it. People who have no interest in football aren't likely to go and see it wherever it is displayed. If Wolves can make a museum pay then i'm s...

Re: Times when you really wish you had the money
The club should have done it and put it on display at the 'Bok, even if they charged a small fee to cover the cost of doing this. Another 'own goal' by Gartside if you ask me. I'm glad that the council did purchase some of the items if the alternative was seeing them leave the town but i agree that...

Re: Times when you really wish you had the money
Fromt' BEN. Jeff Lofthouse says they considered offering items to be on permanent display but still retain ownership, but no one came forward More questions than answers. Who did they approach? What items were they 'considering' offering? I can't imagine that BWFC would be interested in displaying ...

Re: Freedman out!
How can you complain about him changing line ups and tactics? You pick a team that will counter act the oppositions strengths. If one week you play a side that are big strong long ball side then the next you play a quick team who use the flanks then you're going to change the tactics and line ups f...
