That's how it all started for City! Losing to Lincoln home and away in the League Cup under Frank Clarke! All down hill after that....

Didn't we score first at Lincoln, but still went on to get beat 4-1. The fans gave the team a fair amount of stick that day as they were trooping off the pitch.
Still, the Bacon butties in the ground were good, all done fresh as you waited. they were serving virtually all the time the game was being played.

I still have it in for Luton after the FA Cup defeat when the first match was rained off with City leading 6-2 (Law 6).

And for David Pleat’s celebration 20 odd years on.

Same here

What can you say about that. Not much. I bet we had bigger crowds when we were playing in the 3rd tier football, back in those dark old days. Yes maybe they were some 60/70yrs ago. Not now and I cannot see that they ever will be.

Let them be prepared for life in the 4th tier next season, because that's where they will end up next season.

Born in Bolton and grew up all my childhood supporting City there. Although there were times I was actually getting grief of Bolton fans for them often beating us, no Bolton fans I knew ever claimed this, even when we were a division below.

Had some great memories watching city (well one half of the pitch) at Burnden and then the old reebok.

Absolute none starter of a debate though and certainly not an opinion shared by the dozens of Bolton fans I grew up with.

That's because when their are more away fans than home fans the Police become confused and lock in the home fans.

I seem to recall one year at Notts County they put their fans in the away end and we got the home end. I could be wrong - it must be 30 years ago almost.

Tranmere used to do that as well, they always let us have the big end. I remember a copper telling me it was the only time it was ever full.
