Come breezeblock, let us spread harmony amongst the forumites

Here’s a brilliant contribution from ‘breezeblocka prolific poster on bwfcforum

I went to the Fulham game by train. I don’t do it very often because it’s quicker to drive and no-one complains about the smell on the M60. The trains were slightly messed up because of some essential repairs in Preston…probably having electricity or running water installed. Met up with Wayne and some of the old BWFC board regulars and had a couple of Australia’s finest auburn blush hops-based beverage served in a delightful polyethylene terephthalate decanter (Fosters in a plastic bottle). Would have been nice to have a pint at half time but the queue at 3.39pm was already fourteen deep and I gave up by 4.53pm when that number was down to seven deep. Not only does the beer taste like sheep dip but you have to suffer a similar queuing process as the animals themselves do.

Bolton Wanderers fans should be seen and not heard

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 | BWFC News, BWFC People, Gary Megson, Nicolas Anelka | 5 Comments

Pay your money, site down, shut up and enjoy the one-way ride to mediocrity...

Pay your money, sit down, shut up and enjoy the one-way ride to mediocrity...

Gary Megson’s supporters in the media are totally missing the point

Something’s been puzzling me for a while. Why are the media so keen to criticise Bolton fans for our treatment of Gary Megson?

In some of my previous posts I’ve suggested that it’s caused by people who have no emotional (and therefore irrational) attachment to the club finding it impossible to fully understand how Megson has undermined the spirit that has been slowly built over the last 15-20 years.

But after reading some of the reports of the latest Megson hate-in, against Stoke at the Reebok on Saturday, I’ve come up with another theory.

Sky targets Bolton Wanderers fans with new version of ad campaign

Saturday, September 12th, 2009 | BWFC News | 3 Comments

How Sky’s Premier League marketing campaign would look in the real world

We know how you feel about supporting Bolton Wanderers, because we feel the same

Sky’s subtle and understated-as-ever marketing campaign for their Premier League coverage this season is a series of TV adverts and posters featuring the line ‘we know how you feel about football, because we feel the same.’

Leaving aside the rather patronising assumption that all football fans are replica-shirt wearing, 606-calling halfwits (OK, a lot are), the other problem with these ads is that they’re too general, aimed at fans of every club without thought for the fundamental differences in the emotional make-up of fans of clubs as diverse as, let’s say, Bolton and Manchester United.

Sex, pies and videotape… but not much Bolton Wanderers

Let’s play spot the Wanderers… in (extremely unofficial) association with The Bolton News

The Bolton News has had a bit of a redesign recently. Nothing radical, just a few tweaks here and there and some new fonts. One thing that hasn’t changed is the lack of prominence given to the Wanderers in the site’s navigation.

Pedro finds another hole in Bolton Wanderers’ season tickets PR

Pedro gets ready for another trip to the Reebok (from clurr, some rights reserved)

Pedro gets ready for another trip to the Reebok (from clurr, some rights reserved)

Will the Reebok Stadium be a lonely place for BWFC season ticket holders next season?

I wrote over a month ago about the rather vague positive news coming out of the club regarding season ticket sales this summer. The club seemed extremely keen to reassure fans that they wouldn’t be alone at the Reebok next season.

What the Bolton News can learn from Gordon Brown

Saturday, June 6th, 2009 | BWFC News, BWFC People, El-Hadji Diouf, Gary Megson, Ivan Campo, Nicolas Anelka, Phil Gartside, Stelios | 3 Comments

There’s no such thing as boom without bust for Bolton Wanderers

It’s perhaps not the best time to be taking financial lessons from Gordon Brown, but The Bolton News repeated one of the beleaguered Prime Minister’s biggest mistakes this week.
