Are we a good set of supporters?

Of course we are good supporters how many other teams could get as many as us after playing badly for 3 seasons. I remember going down to the 4th division and still 2500 turned out regularly. I remember getting thumped 4-0 by Scarborough and all the Bolton fans started singing we want 5 (made me laugh). As long as there is a team to support us Bolton folk will turn out!

After thinking through my argument a bit further with GtE I have come to the conclusion that what I meant to say was that I think Gary is a fan just as much as the rest and have more respect for someone who sits and concentrates on the game than the fans who stand but rather than singing songs spend their time arguing with opposition fans. I am simply a fan who likes to stand at football and get behind his team and I don't like it when another one of our fans tells me that I cannot stand when Bolton have a corner or when one of our players has an opportunity to score (which has happened a couple of times this season). I am not saying GtE is like that but I hope he can see why it would get frustrating especially for someone like myself of 6ft 3 who finds sitting in tight spaces for 45 minutes at a time uncomfortable. In future I will look to stand near the back of the stand where I can support my team through song (that is very different to antagonising the opposition fans) rather than sitting as personally it is not how I would like to watch football. I would point out that very few if any of the people on this forum will have sat at away games when they were my age simply because the seating was not there for them to use.

Do not doubt. Bolton Wanderers shirts, his shirt sponsorship has always been good. He's changing rapidly. But not the whole of his conversion.

Laughable effort at camouflaging a spam post.

Sneaky though eh! !

And the shirts are very reasonably priced.

No. Although I should warn that somebody who I know is on the Reading forum "hobnob" recently came across one of my posts about how much I dislike the south east, quoted it on the "hobnob forum" (which HMX alerted me to) and has told me that we can expect a reasonable sized invasion of gloating teenage Reading fans at some point between now and the end of the season.
