Is it correct that Bolton had their allocation increased

[Pigs foot]

You sound like a red even using there derogatory comments, I will not respond with a comment, however I would think most true blues would be shaking there head when reading your post.

My last thoughts on this thread.

Fans of other clubs are welcome on here but.....

"I used to have a lot of time for City"...
"What's happened to the City I used to like"...
"No Class"...
"No Humility"...
"Arab money"...

Do I need to go on?

Bolton fans are just the latest in a long line that have fell for the media bullshit big time and have now decided to hate us and come on here spouting the media soundbites that are not only nonesence, they are fucking boring and rightly get the backs up of many a Blue! The vast majority of rival fans on here come on with an agenda and just want to take the piss, goad blues so that they can reel off the stupid soundbites they have learnt that week from watching Sky, listening to Talksport or reading the Sun!

They deserve nothing but contempt and rightly so get shit back and to the few Blues that side with them due to a need to feel loved and be everyone's second team again...

Fook you too, sorry but hang your heads!

i'm with you on this one
the vast majority come on here as sanctimonious morons and then pointing out the error of our ways in order that we will go back in the box marked 'licckle city'
i'd have thought after four days of preaching to us they would have enjoyed their days out and gone back to garlic bread and t'internet for darksiders

Like to put my two penneth in on this debate, I will declare my hand, family originally from Salford, my dad is a Blue, I have been a dyed in the wool white for over 30 years despite my dad taking me as a 10 year old to Maine Road, if you analyse the years that I have been watching football, Bolton have had a long time out of the top flight from 1980 through to the mid 90s, and before 1980 it was 16 years out of the top flight, in that time the 2 big clubs within 30 minutes of Burnden Park have both won the top flight league all be it City the once, in the 60s we lost 2 of our top players to City in Franny Lee and Freddie Hill and our downward spiral continued. The result of losing our better players the scrapping of the minimum wage hurt all the traditional town clubs Bolton was no exception, it is a miracle and a tribute to the supporters that stuck with the club in enough numbers to begin the climb back from Division four back to the top flight, obviously the many years out of the top flight it was inevitable some Bolton people would follow the glamour of bigger more fashionable clubs.There is no doubt City are the bigger club, but I don't feel City fans should be gloating about the size of there support, the poulation of Manchester is over 400k the poulation of Bolton is 139k, a 1/3rd of the size of Manchester, throw greater manchester into the equation and poulation is 2.5 million, city fans come from all over Manchester, Bolton fans come from Bolton and a few small towns close to Bolton, City despite 100s of million pounds of foreign investment can only pull roughly twice the crowds of Bolton. Now onto the teams, yesterday was a bad day for us we were below par, City were strong defensively but still I thought tactics were overly negative from Mancini, I am 100% sure he is not the right man for the City job, and he is finding it difficult to control the stars he has assembled. Bolton for me do not have the depth of squad, but at the moment I feel we play a better style of football, more attack minded and better to watch. Finally a comment on your fans I feel many need a reality check the hype and arrogance shown beggars belief. Before yesterdays visit I was enjoying Chelsea and the red scum squirming at Man Citys wealth, now I aint so sure you now seem to be in the same basket as the afore mentioned arrogant clubs. Any way I look forward to our return game at the Reebok and hope we can keep a few of our better playersthrough the January window so we might be in a position to give you a rough ride.

Bolton has a population of 139k? Are you for real? Bolton is one of the biggest towns in Europe, I said "towns". Easily 250k+. let's not forget were also competing with one of the biggest and most successful clubs in World football you numpty.

Mancini ain't the right man? 3 points off top spot says otherwise.<br /><br />-- Tue Dec 07, 2010 10:10 am --<br /><br />

Until you know what it's like to see your rivals win the treble and you're two-nil down in a third flight playoff-final facing a miserable seven hour return trip, you can't lecture us. City fans have earned the right to be proud of our fanbase. It's the only thing that pulled us through the worst years in our history.

Your were in the lower tier for 5 minutes, we were in the wilderness for years, down as low as Division 4, Man U fans live in and around Bolton we have to deal with them as well. Regarding your play off final we have had numerous lows in play offs beaten by Watford when we had better players, cheated by the ref who gave Ipswich every decision in a play off semi, and it is a long way back from there, you probably would not know.

Highest club attendance in english football ever? rags? bolton?
No.....Manchester City..... 84,569

Boltons highest attendance ever? 69,912 impressive! rags?
No.....Manchester City .... oh

The Bolton V Stoke game when 33 folk died was estimated to have a crowd of 85,000 on however many broke through the gates to get in so the gate was never varified.
My final message to City fans is try to be a little humble, your not the biggest club in your own town or even the best, despite having millions poured into the club through Swales/Wardle/Boler/Arabs, in fact your just a few points in front of little Bolton, show some humility and more class, then if you do ever win something, maybe just maybe other clubs will congratulate you on your success.

ffs, "estimated", so while people perished someone was "estimating" the crowd, ycnmiu.

I have a distant relative who is a dyed in the wool white, all he ever goes on about is the crowd when you played Everton in the league Cup in the 70's iirc, he inflates the attendance by 5000 every time I see him, which fortunately isn't very often.

Bottom line is Bolton people have had a chip on their shoulders about Manchester for decades, it will never go away.

I'll stick around though if that's ok, I wouldn't normally enter a battle of wits with unarmed men but I have a soft spot where City fans are concerned

what does Yonner mean? I've heard Utd fans call us that too, but never had it explained

yonner

A native of 1 of the many semi-rural mill towns situated in the Pennine region of northern England. Yonners can be found in a number of counties, namely: Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cumbria, Derbyshire and in the more upland areas of east Cheshire.
The term 'Yonner' equates with the Scouse term 'Wooley Back'.
TV shows such as: The League Of Gentlemen, The Last Of The Summer Wine, Emmerdale, Where The Heart Is, Heartbeat, and One Man And His Dog, all feature Yonner characters. Even Coronation Street, although set in the more urban City of Salford, features an overwhelmingly Yonner-voiced cast (Deidre Barlow and her mother, Janice Battersby, Fred the butcher, Digby the baker, Sally Webster and Vera Duckworth, to name a few...).
Yonners speak like farmers, wear short sleeved shirts without a coat or a jumper in the middle of winter, drink plenty of Skol lager (like their ancient Viking ancestors), partake in bloodsports, are educationally subnormal, and either shout or mumble when speaking. They are also very adept at peddling bicycles up steep, cobbled streets.
"Go and milk your cows, you fucking Yonner!"

cheers, I thought it was a Utd fan phrase, it's the only place I've ever heard it, bit like you saying we use exclusive Utd remarks about you all coming from Stockport and that
