Re: Cardiff away
Would have thought so. One of them will go up, one will be gutted. Plus if we win as the form book suggests they'll be showing us twice in may. And the Forest leics game will be irrelevant.BWFC_Insane wrote:Surely the Hull and the Watford games..........ChrisC wrote:Blackpool have nothing to play for and we have everything to play for. Proud of the lads no matter what the outcome is.
Sky are showing two championship games next weekend. I wonder if they will show our game and the Forest one? Much more exciting than the relegation battle.

Aye, 35 years ago last night - I just remember the eternity to the final whistle and then the relief. Fingers crossed for the same result in the coming weeks.popeyedoyle wrote:First time post for me, hello all and I was there at Blackburn that night, memory maybe be dimming from that game but I think we had a side and an end full of whites? there was loads of Bolton fans there, a great night.

Hope is what keeps us going.

So I listened on t'wireless with a very, very poor reception getting bits & pieces of clarity.
I recall being uncetain if we'd scored or not ... then if we'd held on. I only knew or sure at 10.25pm or so when the news gave out the result.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: Cardiff away
I too was at the Blackburn game. My recollection is that we had an end and a side plus about 50% of the other side. Frankie scored early on and there was no looking back after that! In my top 3 all time games.

Re: Cardiff away
This is what I was trying to convey to thebish - I realize it is unlikely Salford Trotter - after all how often do two roughly equal teams with everything to play for lose by five goal. Why it hasn't happened since.... oh, the last time we were at Wembley.Annoyed Grunt wrote:Would we not be 7th, losing out by 1 goal?Burnden Paddock wrote:We would finish 6th, by virtue of having scored 2 goals more than ForestMontreal Wanderer wrote:I think so. Assuming Palace wins a game,we beat Blackpool 1-0 and Forest wins 5-0 how does the table stand?thebish wrote:mullayo wrote:Wish they had presented the cup last week so we were playing in front of a dog and six people that hate Pratley
I'll take a draw but now the results are out of our hands and need to rely on Leicester
surely it's in our hands and we just need to beat Blackpool?? or am I missing summat?
Apologies if this has been pointed out.

Re: Cardiff away
In retrospect, that may well have been the case today. Tough away game, very good side with no real tension having just won the league title and promotion. It actually makes getting a point there a real good attempt. Was quite proud of us today in a game that few really expected us to win, or even draw. Blackpool are no Cardiff and we have to be in with a real chance now if we don't tense up in our desire to win. Play football like we can and we'll do it.thebish wrote:it had already been pointed out. (but no apology needed!)

Bolton manager Dougie Freedman:
"If someone had said when I came in here and we were 17th in the league we would have to win the last game to get in the play-offs we would have taken it."

Re: Cardiff away
Someone should write a reflection on it. Start a new thread series, "it was 20 years ago today: [match]". Then folks can comment below. I'd love to but am a bit busy.Burnden Paddock wrote:It'll be 20 years since that fantastic night, on Tuesday.Bijou Bob wrote:Important point indeed ST. Another fantastic night in Hull anyone??
