A cup final for Sam, add a top 10 finish to that and you're looking at what should be the Manager of the Year winner. Fantastic achievement, and some top quality football along the way. That first leg was a wonderful game. Would you prefer Boro or Arsenal in the final? Boro would be easier, but of course if you get Arsenal then I'm pretty sure (but not definite) that means Bolton will get the uefa cup spot regardless of the result, because Arsenal will surely qualify for the champions league.
I don't want to be a killjoy. I am very happy to be a Wanderers fan these days - I just hope we are not setting ourselves up for a very, very big fall. The squad is completely out of contract at the end of the season. We've known this for some time. While all the squad keep saying publicly how happy they are at Bolton - there's no telling what's going to happen. It's completely conceivable that some of our players who Sam gave a lifeline to are going to get swooped up - I'm not just talking about JJ. This time next year things could be very, very ugly. I know this isn't a particularly positive post. But what realistically can we do? We've got to try and get Bruno, Davies, Youri, Thome and the like into new contracts. I hope we aren't waiting for a domino effect - i.e., if Okocha signs then everybody else will fall into place - just don't think it's going to work like that I'm enjoying the moment - but v. v. nervous about the future.
I agree with your nervousness. This could be our best season in over a centrury and the prospect we face is the team being decimated in the summer!
sounds like the boro in 97 if boro get there i'll be there would rather play you lot that villa, least with boro - bolton it would be alot more pasionate as both teams dont get to win much too often, namely ever.
Yeah, I'd prefer it to be a Bolton/Boro final. I just get the feeling that if Arsenal get there wa'd not only face the Gunners but also the officials and there's no way we can win that battle.
Re: Re: Cardiff... You'll be lucky The ticket arrangements are avaliable on the Bolton website, postal applications are preferred but you can queue up on the day. Either way it'll be difficult if you're not a season ticket holder or living in Bolton.
Re: Re: Re: Cardiff... So you don't think I've got much chance? I've got family that are season ticket holders, but I imagine they're using their allocation. I was going to call one of the ticket lines. Don't see how I could get the postal application form from the BEN. Guess I could have someone fax it to me. Damnit, why did I not join the club membership program while I was over? Thought I would need to to get tix to the three games in London while I was there, but it was easier to use the season ticket holders rights.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Cardiff... Season ticket holders can get two tickets. If you can get them to get you one on their ticket then you're going about 30,000 tickets, 16,000 season ticket holders entitled to two tickets each... there ain't going to be much left
im am glad its going to be a boro-bolton final, it will have a great atmosphere compared to the joke that is arsenals vocal support. It will have a proper final atmosphere and 2 highly committed teams, if it were arsenal it would just be another excuse for the media to ride the arsenal *#*#*#*#, at least now the final will be a very interesting affair between 2 teams both never qualified for europe and both unsuccessful in the trophy department. Cant wait!!
Well, got my ticket. Apparently we've sold-out even without tickets going on open sale. We need more tickets in order to fulfill the postal applications. Hopr you get yours sorted Prenn!
Nope, I applied by post and have received *#*#*#*# all so far. What a monumental *#*#*#*# up by BWFC. Tickets on sale on Ebay, Ticketmaster selling as many tickets as you want with just one season ticket reference. 4000 unprocessed postal applications! If I don't get a ticket I won't be going to another game this season or renewing my season ticket. I'm supposed have priority for tickets and to be left without one for Bolton's most important game in nigh on 50 years takes the piss somewhat.
