Glass half-empty

as · **Posted:** Wed Feb 29, 2012 7:08 pm

No chance of getting anything on Saturday.

No chance of stringing a few results together before the season concludes.

No chance of ever making a comeback when going a goal down.

No chance of ANY of our forwards reaching double figures this term.

No chance we'll ever see the top flight for another 20 years after this disaster of a season.

No chance of us not going into administration once we get relegated, and Uncle Eddie takes his ball away.

No chance of Garty and Ducky realising they've not deserved their whopping salaries (and f*cking bonuses) for managing the finances of a club who's debt is the only thing on-the-up.

No chance of me not following this f*cking a**ehole of a club until I'm worm food :pissed:

That's only half empty?

That's a glass bone dry.

The glass will never be empty because I support Bolton Wanderers.

No chance of Kevin Davies and Darren Pratley skipping off into the sunset.

I'm looking forward to Championship football next season because:

A chance to clear the decks

A chance to rebuild

I think more opportunities to see us win games

some corking games

a chance to actually win a league (we've been in the top flight 72 seasons and never won it, there is a simple reason for that and it's not going to change any time soon)

The chance to see us develop some of the younger players who have been on the fringes for at least one season.

It'll get rid of all the 'Premier League' watching johnny come lately's

All well and good (and in most cases I agree) but there is still the overlooming spectre of financial ruin...

Doesnt matter what level we're playing at.You follow the team cos it's what you do. The championship wouldnt be the end of the world.Infact no level is the end of the world. You get the same buzz out of winning and dip out of losing,you still talk shite about the team and you still get excited about new players coming in preseason (even if it's cowdrill and Brown on frees and nowt else) So long as their isnt a financial crisis it's no big deal.Even if the club went out of business something would come together n it's place and we'd follow it and maybe be even more pasionate. That's a lesson some of my manure loving friends learnt when they jumped ship post Glaziers

I really don't want relegation, and I'm worried about the implications in terms of the finances/bankruptcy etc...

Allowing our debt to rise of £100 million is not taking care of the club's future imho...

But most of the time I've been following the Whites I've been watching lower division football... and I'm not scared of that, and I'm not tempted to sit at home sulking, I'll be renewing my ticket, and I'm certainly not tempted to jump ship...

This I share with the vast majority of posters here... I reckon...

Sick of seeing topics like this.. we are not down yet.. Keep the faith! all part of the fun when your a BWFC fan.

We still have games we can pick up points in..

After the City game we play QPR.. Villa.. Dingles.. Wolves.. Fulham all very winnable with 15 points up for grabs. A good chance to get a run going and hopefully get some points from the harder games.

I still have faith, its a shame a lot of fans have lost there's

theyre not gonna pay it off nickel and dime-ing it with the championship money.

they reacted quickly when they got shut off lee, this time theyve just gone 'oh , we carnt do owt now, their man is in' even though he's kinda sammy lee redux.

I've supported Bolton Wanderers all of my life, that's not going to change if we get relegated at the end of the season. I'll still be there every week watching them get beat by championship teams.

My favorite fortune‐teller told me that:

Quote:

Bolton Wanderers will manage to avoid relegation and they'll win FA Cup by a fluke this season. Their Europa League enrollment will attract some good players during coming summer transfer window while Arsenal will get established wingers like Gotze, Hazard and Podolski and they'll send New Miyaichi/more experienced Miyaichi or another great young talent to Bolton Wanderers. With better squad, Bolton Wanderers are fighting well for 4th place next season :Jedi:

I believe that will happen :pissed:

It's not over yet, but if we went and Wiggin/Jackburn survived.......

Reet, I'm shutting up now!

Ain't it the truth. Doesn't seem that long ago that Everton were the team on Merseyside and Liverpool were rooting around in the then Second Division, local derbies were against Bury, Oldham, and Rochdale and some of the best games ever seen were against Crewe, Port Vale, Barnsley, Preston and Reading etc. How we looked forward to booing Andy Ritchie, Steve Bull and anybody in a Tranmere shirt. Happy days.

If we get 2 wins from "March Madness" then I'll start believing.

And those 2 NEED to come from Blackburn, QPR and or Wolves.

I don't care how many games we've got after those fixtures, if we fail to win any of them we are sunk.

Having said all that though I'll still be here next season if we're in the championship, and the season after that if we're in the 1st division. I grew up supporting a Scottish division 3 side so the lower realms hold no fear for me.
