Just get posting, don't be shy. Just use this board today as if it were 606, and you'll soon develop a feel for it. Read some threads and articles and you'll soon see that this site is the best out there.

Thanks for coming over,

Mummy.

I'm here mummy, but those pictures next to peoples names don't half do my head in.

Plus, the site doesn't fit on my screen - I have to keep scrolling towards the right to read stuff.

But I'll give it a try.

First time poster. Followed Bolton since 1982. Been reading posts on 606, decided to look here. I like what I see. Any London supporters here? :grin:

Excellent, I'm sure the daily natasha post/article will become more essential reading than page 505 on teletext.

Give the pictures a chance, I know it's offputting, a bit, but this is just so much faster than 606 and has countless other benefits.

Just post in the only way you know how, and the place will soon take off.

fellow 606er (mark Stringer) also a lonon white, agree that 606 has gone down hill fast over the last few months and so decided to give this site a try. 8)

Cool. We (myself & Youriislegod another poster on here) live in Hayes Middlesex & originally from Westhoughton. We tend to go to most of the London games if we can. He goes to all the home games as he has a s/t.

Welcome all newbies :Wave:

I'm Bolton born and bred (a Breightmet lad, actually) I hit the big 50 last November - but I've not become noticeably wiser.

I've lived in Northants for last eighteen years. My brother's still a season ticket holder at the Reebok. So when I go up I meet up with him and my old mates. I see about 6 - 8 games a season live at the Reebok, and about the same around the country. Other than that I tip money into Sky Sports bin to keep me up to speed.

I saw my first game in April 1961. Bolton 3 - 0 Aston Villa. On my Grandad's shoulders on the Embankment. I've been hooked ever since.

hey peeps,

Moved to london in september last year after spending most of my life in Crewe. My dad is a season ticket holder so whenever i go back home and there is a game on i go and watch. Going to try and get to most of the london games next season, finances are a bit poor at the mo having just finished uni.

Probably went to about 5-10 games last season, seemed to watch a lot on sky down the pub though. Was it just me or was there a period towards the end of the season where we seemed to be on nearly every week, happy days :lol:

My missus hates football so we compromised. When Bolton are on the box I watch it down the pub or go to the game. My dad and two of my brothers are season ticket holders, so when I go up I can always get a ticket. Missed the Fulham and Chelsea games last season (work), but happy that West Ham came up. I've missed the friendly banter and the rat-run from the away end to the station. Can't wait.

Hey, LKAFG, glad you came. I'm sure this will work, I reckon there's still a few more 606ers to capture. Still, 14 new members today isn't bad, plus a couple who had signed up and forgotten about it.

Glad you are enjoying the toys, but surely you have to have a picture of the Lord himself as your avatar?
