"I think my club will die today"

[Used 2 B Hu]

Good news for Bolton. I grew up just a few miles from the Reebok Stadium so glad to see them continue.

And you wound up a Liverpool fan?!? Shame!!!

From what I heard today, the guy who bought Bury isn't a football fan and didn't even know the club existed. Why was he allowed to buy the club then? I feel bad for their supporters. At least Bolton sounds like it'll be okay for now.

Dude bought the team for one pound.

a POUND.

We lived half way between Wigan and Bolton and I think there were 18 teams in the league system within a 20-30 mile radius. 90% of the kids at my school were Liverpool or (mostly) United fans with a couple of Everton, Man City, Blackburn and Bolton fans too. Frankly I don't remember picking a team, but I'm guessing it was because Liverpool were so good back then (early 80's). First game I remember watching was a Liverpool United game when I was five or six.

No worries, man...you're right about how many FA clubs there are in that region. Being an American, I wasn't attached to any of them, so I follow quite a few teams from Lancs. The past decade or so I got more drawn to Bolton, Preston, Morecambe, and lately Fleetwood. None of them are ever going to be like Liverpool, though :/

I was the same way growing up an NFL fan in England. Decided I had to pick one team and went with Detroit.

Wow, Bolton actually won a match, and on the road against a mid-table Bristol team.

I know they've had lots of other barriers this season, but over the past decade they've been notoriously slow starters before finding their stride. Hopefully they can at least get to positive points in the next few weeks.

They will most likely still drop down to League Two in the spring but I'm glad to see them fighting.

Bolton win a match!

Too bad it was vs the Cod Army, I like them, as well.

One more win for positive points

Well, one was against Man City U-21, but still...

Meh... Three straight losses and staring at a fourth today vs Portsmouth. They might pass Tranmere on the table but will still join them in league two.

I don't really have one team, I follow several clubs from that area. I don't get into the rivalries so much because it's not like I grew up there or something. I sympathized with Bury when they were going through their fiscal troubles because Bolton was, too.

Bolton on the verge of their sixth straight win to creep up into the playoff places in League Two
