How is Sunderland Irish?
also West Ham would be a bostonians team because people who founded Boston came from that teams area? lol
BOSTON MA is AWESOME
just a little plug lol
OK I'm pushing it a bit, But I was stunned, driving around New England how many place names originated within just a few miles of where I come from (Ilford; definately west ham territory) And apart from that.... Well I really like Boston, and west ham, so there has to be a connection doesnt there?

You can usually find anything on there, even some obscure leagues. And most matches have more than one person broadcasting.
I have sopcast, tvu, and tvants, that pretty much covers everything.

After watching today's Fulham game i know i am a fan...
I was kicking and screaming after they let up a second goal 30 seconds after theirs!!!
I want Fulham to avoid relegation so badly!
Why did they take Bullard out?
Should have put johnson in earlier too :(

Follow Bolton we are wicked, when you finally think you are going to get a win, we lose. When you are losing and think you should get back into a game you lose 4-0, then the idiot Manager falls out with all the players and then we get relegated, many good times supporting them...

Well Bolton fans are fairly loyal, we were selling out stadiums even when we were in the 3rd/4th Division,I'm hardly going to claim Reading were rivalling Barcelona's crowds in our down-and-out phases in the 70s and 80s, but unless Burnden Park was hit so hard by the Popplewell Report after the Bradford fire that capacity was reduced to 5000, you weren't selling out in the 4th division. You often averaged less while in the 3rd division in that period too. I recall trips up to Burnden Park in the 80s and you can tell the club was hit hard in that era. As ugly as that Normid superstore was, a quick glance around the empty terraces and seats made it abundantly clear why such desperate measures were called for.

I think you'll find we were selling out, not every single match, but the ones that mattered to people. Part of that end was sold for the Superstore because the stadium was unsafe and the stadium needed to be converted into all seated, and this way the club didn't have to pay for it, we had no money so we couldn't pay for it, but this doesn't mean we didn't have fans.. When you consider in the early 80's we were fitting 60,000 into there it says something.

60,000 in the 80s? You have to be kidding. When?
The ground didn't even hold 60000 in the 80s. Capacity was given as a generous 43,000 in 80/81.
Bolton's highest league crowd, for their only season in the top flight in the 80s, was 31,902 for the visit of Man Utd. Lowest that year was 8,995 for the visit of Coventry.
Bolton's average crowds for the 80s were
79/80 16,353 - Div 1
80/81 9,847 - Div 2
81/82 7,597 - Div 2
82/83 7,552 - Div 2
83/84 5,893 - Div 3
84/85 4,951 - Div 3
85/86 4,847 - Div 3
86/87 4,851 - Div 3
87/88 5,018 - Div 4
88/89 5,528 - Div 3
The supermarket was built in the mid 80s. That's long before clubs were even thinking of going all-seater (except at Coventry).
Either you have a curious memory, or an older relative had been a bit economical with the truth about how things were back then.
