Well, obviously you didn't. lol
Pedro, the BWFC forum is on the decline, almost as bad as "your views". It's being supported by Oom in the main, whites and chip, with the occasional from davidm and then match reports from Alp, the occasional from AndyL and then some other posters come in then leave, as per this story.
Any post is a good post folks, even if it's off topic!!!
Where's trotter; BWFC til i die... both good posters.
Burnden Paddock posts on the BN, but not on here. Why not? (if it's the same person, that is)

I’m still around Wots, just not had much to comment on.
I’m probably still stuck in bewilderment of our wonderful clubs demise to the point of extinction thanks to the last lot of folk and to think that we could still get a further hammering from the very dodgy organisation (EFL) that ratified KA, Steve Dale and Stuart Day is beyond a joke!!
On the footballing front, we can’t keep saying we are a new team etc etc and then go on to draw or lose, that’s almost the same excuses Parkhoofson used to use.
What has happened in training where the players smack the ball into the net? That’s the euphoric bit that us supporters have missed for far too long now, it would even be a relief to see us score 2 and still lose in a way, just for the sake of seeing us score more than once in a game.
I, like all, am extremely grateful that we still have a club to follow and hope and pray that our new owners understand the very fabric of our wonderful Bolton Wanderers, but also hope that they are actively seeking fresh investment to back Leith Hill and bring us back to League One next season following our guaranteed relegation this season?
Sorry for the negatives but it’s going to take the next 3 months of non stop wins to fend off relegation and what with any points deduction it’ll need an absolute miracle to stay up and so far, whilst KH looks like he’s doing the right things and getting us a bit more solid and tougher to beat, a draw when a win was given away v Sunderland and a loss when a point was on v Pompey are not helping our cause.
Still
We have a club👍🏻

I agree rftr it’s the “but we still have a club” attitude that bothers me too. We need wins, albeit that our survival chances are slim. It’s too easy to just keep saying the players aren’t fit, they haven’t played much together and they are only cast offs anyway. These are just excuses now. I’m not trying to say there are no issues but given the way we’ve played and the chances we’ve spurned, we could already be much better off. We need to score goals and win games otherwise there’s no point going out onto the pitch. Goals need to come from all departments and with the pace and skill we now have out wide we should be tearing into teams. I’m sure it will come together, but it needs to be sooner rather than later.

Rome was'nt built in a day and niether is a team as your hero fat sam used to say come back in three months and then we'll talk , said at wet spam , palace newcastle , everton and all points north and he was talking about fit players in established teams, is getting it through thier heads thats the hard job. |

Whilw agreeing Rome wasn't built in a day and delighted we still have a club, I am extremely depressed that those guys at the EFL ( with possible past enemies like Aldridge in judgement there) may still have it in for us after all we have gone through, and it makes you wonder if football is still worthwhile. Teamwise, it looks as though we will have to wait a while for many winning performances and that in itself is enough concern without the weight of those folk at the EFL throwing more brickbats at us in the shape of further deductions with seemingly no recourse to protest. I am wondering onve again what the Supporters Trust have ibn mind with the £20,000 plus some of us subscribed against such potentially awful treatment of us and FV, the new owners, who have sor far done everything right except so far deliever my season ticket.

the BWFC forum is on the decline, You’re right. There is a danger that this forum is slowly grinding to a halt. I think it comes down to the events of the past 12 months. All that has happened has just drained the life out of the supporters. Like everyone else, I am delighted that we still have a club and I am even more delighted to have a manager who plays with a positive attitude but somehow the spirit has been knocked out of us. We look at the league table and dream of a miracle escape but then, of course, the EFL have their little present of a further points deduction waiting for us. We seem to be cursed with injuries. We signed 10 new players – already 5 of them have missed matches with injuries plus a number of pre-season injuries also. It’s just an ongoing tale of things to go wrong. Since the takeover, things look brighter but we need to start winning. Losing every week, despite “still having a club” is becoming soul destroying. Under normal circumstances, continual defeats would generate complaints against the manager, the players, the board but there is no one left to complain against. Hopefully, when things pick up, we can debate all areas – matches, players, manager, Football Ventures, EFL, Division 4 but we need a win or two. |

Well I shall be here until the last if the forum does go pop David but I really hope it doesn’t. As you say it’s just that everyone is still shell shocked so until we get a few wins on the board to lift the gloom, we probably won’t see much change. I’m sure KH is doing all he can but the players have to come up to the plate now, it’s no good using the old Rome wasn’t built in a day mantra, we need points on the board and it doesn’t matter how we get them. We all need a lift and it’s only the players who can give that, so starting tonight we need to make a start on the journey back with a win, Mickey Mouse competition or not and no excuses.
