I remember being 3-0 up at Watford and losing, that was a painful journey home.

That's how I remember it as well - trying to think of the Chelsea player who came on as sub - Brolley or was it Britain? |

I think it was more like 20 minutes, but it was about as shocking as it gets. |

Clive Walker was the sub who turned the game. Oh and it was an Allardyce own goal which won it for them!  |

Sluffy, quit confusing things. Clive Walker? We're talking about Bolton/Watford here.

Sorry, I was rambling on about the Chelsea 4-3 Bolton game on 14th October, 1978.

C'mon, peoples ...... you're not even scratching the surface here.
0-4 at home to Wolves when we needed a point to avoid our first relegation out of the top flight for about 30 years (Spring 1964).
0-4 Bank Holiday Saturday August 1987 ...... at Scarborough. Scarborough !! Plumb the depths of non-league football to see where they are these days (re-formed).
0-4 at Northampton Spring midweek 1965, allowing Newcastle & Northampton to go up into the top league .... leaving u in 3rd place (no play-offs, for you young-uns).
Bit of a thread there ....... 0-4's.
0-1 at home to Everton, League Cup semi 2nd leg after drawing 1-1 at Goodison.
Oh, forgot ..... 0-1 at Aldershot (Spring 1987) which sent us into the 4th division in the only relegation play-offs ever (along with a draw at Burnden).
Real sad depressing suicidal times .......

Some of us on this forum are younger than 70 so that's why we can't talk about games like that!

Just puts into some perspective really that a great many fans under about 25 or 26 years old have never really experienced any bad times as such (ok we've been relegated from the Premiership twice since then but have bounced back again). If you think the time under Megson was bad - then you've experienced nothing yet! |

In recent years the lowest point was finding out that Gartside's idea of a replacement for Allardyce was Sammy Lee.How to ruin a good day lay on the beach sunbathing.Fuggin hell, I knew the club's time in the top half was over then.
I went to both legs of the Aldershot play off and that was a bad time but the most embarrassed/worst i've felt about the club was the day Man Utd came to our ground and thrashed us 6-0.We suffered some heavy defeats at home to Bury but there was nothing that hurt as bad as 6-0 day.

I am fully aware that I have had it good since I have been a Bolton fan so thats why I dont really like commenting much on these sort of things, these are more for the elderly wanderers fans. |

Not really, Sharps. Everyone has low points as a Wanderers fan. Just that some of us are still around and sound of memory and remember real depressing low times in & around the lower leagues.  |

My low point was the circumstances surrounding the departure of Jay-Jay Okocha.

70 ? Whaddya mean '70' ? Bit of arithmetic for you, Howfen ...... 1964 was 46 years ago. Dunno about you, but my folks let me out the house to watch the Whites long before I was 26. ;-) Anyway, my posting was a bit tongue in cheek ...... just to remind the older ones among us about some bad bad times, and to put some of the depressions of the younger ones into some historic context for their further education in matters BWFC. |

What about the Tranmere, League cup semi final second leg in 2000. 3 0 if my fading memory serves me right. Agree about the Aldershot play off for relegation game, took us to the lowest point ever.

I'm also of the younger end that never really saw us outside the top two divisions but my personal lowest moment was definitely May 1998. I wasn't at Stamford Bridge for the game but watched in the pub as we were cruelly relegated on goal difference and those stuffy Scouse bastards stayed up - because we had a legit goal disallowed against them in the Reebok's opener. I was in tears after that, heartbreaking. Even more so because Chelsea really didn't want to beat us and you could tell with their fans even singing "Come on Bolton".
That and Black Sunday against the Scum, but since I wasn't there I can't really relate too much to how it felt.

When routine bites hard, and ambitions are low. When resentment rides high, but emotion won't grow... And we're changing our ways, taking different roads. Love... Love will tear us apart, again.
