Non-Bolton fixture chat
A few things that strike me from the fixture list this year:
Liverpool away from home on the opening day for the 4th year running, and 9/12 as someone pointed out on another site. Suits me, actually, as I'm away on that weekend and can't go to the game anyway, and it's only shitty Villa.
The closest game to the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster is Man United v Man City - that'll be absolute fecking carnage of the first order at Old Trafford if they try and mark it in any way.
Twice in the season the 'big four' play each other on the same weekend - I think it's Us v United and Arse v Chelsea in December and then later on. Smacks of Sky just wanting to have 'Super-Dooper-Uber-Mega-Sunday' and build everything up to an annoyingly large degree.
And while we had our 5 hardest away games in the first 6 last year, we've got a nice gentle run-in this year - Villa, Sunderland, Pompey, Wigan, Everton and Blackburn. Oh, and we play the other big 3 all at home before Xmas. If we're there or thereabouts by Xmas we're well and truly f*cked.
Anything else anyone noted?

I know this is BWFC again but spotted on the official club site:
http://www.bwfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Ge ... 41,00.html
"BOLTON WANDERERS will play host to Everton at the Reebok Stadium on 1 September, exactly 10 years to the day when Wanderers played their first ever game at the ground, also against Everton."

My memory is scetchy but didn't they come to us for the anniversary?Leyther_Matt wrote:Should this be the time to mention that we visited United on the 40th Munich anniversary without any problem as far as I can recall?
Have more faith in Citeh fans, people.
Anyway, I do recall that there wasn't any problems because we were all under the threat that anyone caught disrespecting United would be thrown out and banned from all Bolton games.

Definitely at their place, we drew 1-1 and Bob Taylor was on his arse in the six yard box when he scored.CrazyHorse wrote:My memory is scetchy but didn't they come to us for the anniversary?Leyther_Matt wrote:Should this be the time to mention that we visited United on the 40th Munich anniversary without any problem as far as I can recall?

Think they were actually the second visitors to the Reebok that year, drew 0-0 when Blake and Pallister got sent off.

Relatively sure that we played them at the 'Bok in February a few years ago and they beat us 4-0 in an evening game so that would figure. Think Solskjaer scored a couple and someone ran on the pitch from East Lower near the end of the game.CrazyHorse wrote:Your memory is certainly better than mine, Leyther!
I wonder what it is I'm confusing it with though? I clearly remember being at the 'bok and the fans being warned about abusing the rags for an anniversary or something.
Unless I dreamt it.
