Riding the Roller Coaster

Bobo's Big Top

Down at the fairground of football, Ginge finds BWFC on a stomach-turning journey, and joins the ride.

As fellow ginger Ronan Keating once bleated – life is a roller coaster, you just have to ride it. Well, I don’t want to. I want to hop off and catch my breath if I may. See I’ve been riding one for around 20 years now and I’m sure it’s making me ill....

Like Ipswich for Bolton

Remember Ipswich Town? No, not THAT play-off match, the ill-fated 2001-02 campaign that saw the Tractor Boys both in Europe and fighting relegation. Heed HRG's warnings!

Back in 2000/01 season Ipswich Town finished fifth in the Premier League and earned themselves a UEFA Cup slot. The following year they were relegated to the Championship and haven’t been seen since. If we go down this season it is inevitable that our prolonged interest in the UEFA Cup will be cited. Dioufy...

As the January transfer window prepares to open, hisroyalgingerness watches the scramble to get in and out unfold.

Hisroyalgingerness looks at the pros and cons of managing little old Bolton. CVs to Mr P Gartside c/o Reebok Stadium, Lostock, Bolton.

So who would come and manage us? Why would you trot down to the ‘Bok, CV and Paul Smith suit in tow? Truth be told the reasons to come and manage Bolton out-weigh the reasons against. In the interests of fairness I will explore both, make your own mind up....

God Bless America

Bobo's Big Top

A big bright welcome to new columnist hisroyalgingerness who investigates the benefits our colonial cousins can bring to the beautiful game.

The Premier League is becoming infected (ahem, I mean enthused) with American owners who are intent on bringing their experience in American sports to our game. The EPL is currently the fourth most lucrative league in the world behind America’s NFL, Major League Baseball and NBA Basketball. But why just the...
