But that's where I can't put my finger on why I've lost interest.


I was a t Notts County away on a wet Tuesday when we shipped a pan-ful of goals and I was at Scarborough and Wolves in the 4th division when we were utter shite.


Some of the stuff served up by Phil Neal's teams made the dire tripe played under Megson look like total-football.


It's got nothing to do with the division we're in or the standard of the football.


The game's moved on (not in a good way in my opinion) and the only thing it shares with the one I grew up watching is a name.


I dunno.......
Hard to say why it's not as exciting for you as it used to be if that's the case. It could just be part of the natural cycle of changes of interest over time - the things I value have changes in relative importance over the years so I reckon it's normal. But even if your enthusiasm wanes a bit, I'll bet that no matter where you go in the world and how much life moves on, you'll always have an interest in BWFCs progress.
I still follow Stirling Albion's results as I used to go and watch the Binos at Annfield (wearing my Wanderers scarf of course) when I was a student there in the 70s (in between bouts of attacking the Queen whilst under the influence!) and the Binos are really shit - but I'll always have an interest.

Not really - If we were still in the Prem and doing ok, I still wouldn't go.

I can't put my finger on exactly why this is the case, but that's where I am.

And I'm not alone because of the thirty or so of us who used to go from The Doffcocker when we first moved up to the Reebok, there are only a handful left.

Like Sluffy, I'm just not into football in general as much these days.

I'll still watch it on the box and I'm looking forward to Liverpool Vs City this weekend, but that in itself in unusual nowadays, as I struggle to get excited about games any more.

And if I'm honest, I struggle to understand this "I'm a Bolton fan who's always gone to matches, so I'll carry on because that's what I do" mentality.

Why does the fact that you've always done something mean you have to carry on doing it?

That's like Pavlov's dog......

Because it's in my blood!! You've got it or you haven't, simple as.

i just can't see me not going to home games on a Saturday it would feel very odd not being there and i'm even trying to brainwash my 6 year old into coming with me. Might prove difficult seeing as he is a Manchester lad and all his friends support Utd or City but i will persevere.

Yes i have been feeling disillusioned for the last couple of seasons and the style of football has been poor to say the least but i will keep attending along as i am able to.

i have no problem with others who may or already have decided to not go, that is their own personal choice.

I'd need another option to vote for. I love Bolton and cannot support any other English club. I've never had the pleasure of seeing the team live (it's on my Bucket List) but I was following our game with Doncaster and left it to do the current banner - and we were leading! It is becoming increasingly more difficult to be enthusiastic when the players don't seem to be.

Bleed every time. I don't give a fuck which league we are in. I don't care how poncy football has become. I don't give a shit that we have to sit at matches. There is no chance I will ever fall out of love with my home town club. Too many emotional highs and lows over 38years of watching to let that happen!!

You need to get out more.

When you're on your deathbed and your great grandson asks you what you accomplished in life, do you really want to tell him you wasted it watching 22 men in tight shorts kicking a ball around a field?

Really?

Well, im going looking at a house on Monday and if I like it, im having it!

Is Buckshaw really the Utopia it sounds like or is it just another 'modern, upper working/middle class housing estate'?

...and whats the one pub like?

Tbh, its a bit of both. People are friendly, good transport connections, shops increasing in number slowly. Pub is more of a eating establishment really.

If you like the house, make sure you have a good look round.

From high school all the way through Uni Bolton was a huge huge passion for me.

Going to away games was my favourite thing in the world.

but It's just wained as I've gotten older and you could probably call me a casual fan now, even though I'm still passionate about the club, just not intensely like I used to be.

I've had a season ticket in all but two seasons since I started taking an interest, age 8.

I've never been to a match purely out of support for the club. I'll gladly stop paying my money when I stop looking forward to the matches.

I set up a direct debit for my 14/15 season ticket last week. I know we're in for another shit season, but the least it will be is dramatic as always, and something to talk about.

I want the town to have a great team, because it's where I'm from, but to eat, bleed, shit, vomit and sleep a football club is too far for me.

I suppose that puts me somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd option.
