Trotters Independent Football Society
This is an incredibly ambitious and controversial movement, but I hope you can help us out in gaining a few hundred supporters. The aim is to model ourselves on FC United of Manchester's support, those in Bolton who are unhappy with the way the game is nowadays, can jump on our non-league bandwagon.

Re: Trotters Independent Football Society
No, we want to model ourselves on safe standing permanently rowdy partying football fans. Atmosphere out of football nowadays has gone - we're gonna do our best to put it back. Not FC United of Manchester as a model, the way their fans behave externally is what we would like to replicate.

Re: Trotters Independent Football Society
A load of their fans are the not-rights who'd been banned from Old Trafford. By no means all, or even most, but a noticeable minority. AFC Wimbledon I could see, but the rest of these 'start-ups'...shit 'em. If you love your club so much, stick with them through the shit times as well as the good. If it's the old days of standing and swapping ends and that, I get that, but why not go and support Atherton, or Chorley, or any one of the other already established non-league local clubs who need the cash anyway?

You mean like Stockport?

Re: Trotters Independent Football Society
I see your point, football is sterile and our 'home' ground was built f*cking miles away from town but atmosphere at away games is always decent and our tickets aren't that expensive either.trottersindependent wrote:No, we want to model ourselves on safe standing permanently rowdy partying football fans.

I just don't think there are enough fed up Wanderers for this to catch on but if you were to build a small ground in East Bolton I've no doubt you'll fill it with assorted not-rights!

Re: Trotters Independent Football Society
From an outsiders opinion on Bolton's local football, this idea looks absolutely nuts, why would anyone want to abandon their team just because the atmosphere isn't great ?

Folks are free to set up a club if they wish to.
I simply wonder how high up the pyramid they decide isn't fun/proper any more. "No thanks, we'll stay in this league."

Re: Trotters Independent Football Society
I can remember when, being jammed on the embankments in hail, snow and pxssing rain, mixed up with loads of drunken opposition fans who thought nothing of pxssing on the floor (or you), being shoved about and standing behind a few six-foot plus blokes, and parents having to put kids on their shoulders to let em see the game. Oh, how we longed for a day when you could see the action and everything that went on from the viewpoint of a dry seat of your very own. Forward to the past then hey?trottersindependent wrote:No, we want to model ourselves on safe standing permanently rowdy partying football fans.

Re: Trotters Independent Football Society
Safe standing. That doesn't sound like anything close to "safe" to me. This is more about creating an atmosphere in a real old fashioned ground with fans who hate modern football as much as we do. It's important we gain enough of a following for it to work. It's going to be hard - but if it's atmosphere and no ridiculous, uncompetitive finances in football that you're after.

Re: Trotters Independent Football Society
So....you want Bolton fans to stop following Bolton and follow Stockport?
"Society luring Bolton fans away from the Reebok to form a group who follow Stockport home and away, showing our #AMF mentality and hatred of modern stadia"

That should have been changed. It's the Facebook one you need to see for more details. I'll change the Twitter ASAP. Thanks for pointing it out.Annoyed Grunt wrote:So....you want Bolton fans to stop following Bolton and follow Stockport?

Re: Trotters Independent Football Society
It's not true when you work for a company like mine that categorises 'social media' in the same sinful breath as porn, drugs, alcohol, and betting. So site's (Facebook) banned.trottersindependent wrote:It was my understanding that you don't need an account to view a page? Or is that not true?CrazyHorse wrote:I'm not on facebook.
