Time to take a long hard look at yourselves

Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

It's like the Hajj, guys. It's the obligation of all Boltoneen to visit al-Riboq provided they have the means and the health to do so, inshCoyllah.

Well it seems like the club is trying really hard with all the sideline ads for tickets to the Rovers match and half-season tickets. Surely for 15 pounds more bums will meet seats for Fat Sam's return to the Reebok.

So the crowd today was about 19300ish BWFC fans? More than 2000 increase since the Spurs game? Baby steps.....

I am on the dole and get paid 50 quid a week. I go to whenever I can afford it....When my parents bought my season ticket and later on when I worked I attended all home games. I envy you lucky bastards who can afford to go week in week out, it actually sickens me to be missing out on games such as this one. Stop moaning.

And why were the barcodes only given the bottom of the south stand? Can't they sell more either?Every supporter should be doing their best to get their mates to come, whether by appealing to their better nature, outright flattery or possibly the threat of extreme violence and/or blackmail.
Because they refuse to sit down, I believe.

so has there been an official 'relaxing' of the laws re standing at games now do we know? most sets of visitors to the bok have stood for the duration, and we have done a fair bit of standing too, Wolves, Wigan, Burnley and at Southampton, a steward told me if i wanna stand, go and stand over there!

If there's not 25+ on next week, there's something badly wrong
I think 25 may be out limit at the moment - unless we start selling the upper tier in the away end...

As you would expect I fully support Cap's comments, why oh why are we not sold out game after game??? Why haven't all the Megson out fans come back as they promised, what to the club and players have to do to fill the stadium???? I'm at a loss.
Depression is just a state of mind, supporting Bolton is also a state of mind hence supporting Bolton must be depressing QED

Me either, entertaining beggar that he is :D

By the way I hope my support counts double as I pad for my Gooner supporting missus to go to the game yesterday. Even after their result :D :wink:
Pfffft.

I'll pick you up from Ringway next week.

I think the thrust of Caps post is clear. No excuses.

I was merely couching it in terms that FaninOz would understand.

The attendance is improving, as someone mentioned before, baby steps.

I'll be there on Saturday.

Seems also that Caps gets away with what I've been saying for some time but all I get is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, pityfull really. But the Bolton supporters can easily shut me up, just fill the ground!

Spot on...well said Caps

We are playing some excellent confident football at the moment, even Matt Taylor played much better yesterday IMO, I admit that I didn't think this team was capable of playing this way - how wrong I was !!

I can't think of any excuses anyone can now make for not going unless they live in another country or they are unemployed....I think we may see a few more fans coming back next week , so let's hope the team can keep this run going....because it really doesn't get much better than this as a Bolton fan !!
