This will be bigger news than anything that has preceded it on this forum. The fate of BWFC is in the balance. Whoever takes over will determine what happens to the club for the foreseeable future so if there was ever a time to worry about BWFC, this is it.
If BWFC went bust tomorrow it would only have minimal impact on my life. I doubt I'd even miss it to be honest, it's more a habit than anything else.
Some habit.
You joined this forum the same week as I did but you've posted gazillions of times, claim to attend every match ever and still find time to big up Chorley, despite their playoff hopes being crushed by Ashton last weekend.
You practically live for slagging off BWFC.
Well to be fair, wumming or not, there is a hell of a lot in what Natasha posts.
I probably only do follow the club through a lifetime habit, its certainly a world away now from the club I started to follow avidly about 50 years ago.
I know most everything changes in 50 years, including ourselves, and there's not much else I can think of that I still do now that I used to do back then, apart from still follow the club.
It wasn't perfect back then either but at least it was somehow more 'our' club being more accessible in everyway (easily and cheaply to get to being in town, affordable both in terms of paying for the game and the social side of going too, and even the players seemed to be 'normal' to an extend too - you saw them in the same clubs as you went in and even in the same chippy at the end of the day).
Now everything is on a decline, its a different world really since Sky money came in and made everything Premier League centralised.
I'd be lost without the team being there pretty much I guess like a druggie kicking their habit but it would not be the end of my world.
Like her or not (I do) Natasha is the 'irritant' (and I mean that in a good way) that makes this site enjoyable for I suspect most of us. 'She' makes us laugh.
There is often an amount of unpalatable truth in what she says too that many people don't like to face. Whether this is said for a reaction or not.
It's all about a game at the end of the day.
Just a bit of fun for us all - or at least it should be.
I don't think any of us really want to kick the habit of the Wanderers, it gives us all a distraction to our normal more 'serious' lives.
That's why we are all here and still keep coming back - for the laughs, to shed a few tears, a bit of a fall out now and again, comradery maybe even a bit of bromance but above all because we are all Bolton Nutters and probably will be until the day we die!
