Ex-Wolf Watch

[Deutsch Wolf]

Should still be far, far, far too good for League Two.

 

[Alan]

Does he still have knees? I thought he was perma-crocked at this point.

Fun move, though. Now Americans might know who he is!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I remember Solbakken's first game vs Aldershot and having it right there in cold, brutal reality that we'd gone directly from Steven Fletcher to Frank Nouble.

I wasn't keen.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Worth 5 mins of anyone's time.

Just look how long ball we were

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

* look how quick Mutch looked
* look how slow Robertson looked
* look how nonchalant Dennison's free kick was
* hoof!!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, we didn't do subtle!

I was only little then and we didn't have season tickets - not that you needed one - as I couldn't go to the midweek games unless it was school holidays, and Dad sometimes had work commitments too. After a year or two we made the decision that if Bully wasn't playing then we wouldn't go as our "tactics" were somewhat lacking if he wasn't there.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I was at that game, and I'm younger than you! I'm not sure if that makes my dad a better parent or a worse parent

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I was at that one too! Think I got a special pass as we were on to win the league and Bully was nearing his 50th goal, you can't miss that.

 

[Lycan]

I wasn't even born yet...

Remember it as if it was yesterday. The Waterloo road was full to see them lift the trophy on top of the main entrance after the game.

Great night, mates dad got me and him a free ticket (worked for three pines). Nagged me mom for weeks to let me go, wasn't normally allowed to night matches.

 

[Sniffer]

IIRC it was a re-arranged fixture from earlier that year, possibly due to cup commitments.

Would have been them not us then!

Out in the first round of the League Cup (Blues over two legs) and the FA Cup (Grimsby away).

Looking at it they got knocked out in the 5th round and we didnt play that weekend.

I remember missing this one as my parents said I had to go to some Cubs bullshit.

Bury (H) 1988/89 - Wolverhampton Wanderers

Saturday 18 March 1988 at Molineux (Att 14,828) Wolves (1) 4 (Bull 36 50 86, Mutch 55): Stowell, Bellamy, Venus, Streete, Steele, Vaughan, Thompson (Robinson 76), Gooding, Bull, Mutch, Dennison (Downing 76). Bury (0) 0: Farnworth, Hill, Bishop, Hoyland, Wassall, Clements, Lee, Robinson (Pashley...

I haven't forgiven them yet.

FA Cup (Grimsby away).

Mark Kendall chucked it in straight from a corner, it's about then it dawned that if we went up we needed to move on

I missed the Roger Hansbury Sherpa Van game because I had a GCSE French exam the following day, which I spectacularly failed. Went to both Bury games, we got slapped 3 1 there first game of the season from memory

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We did:

Bury (a) 1988/89 - Wolverhampton Wanderers

Saturday 27 August 1988 at Gigg Lane (Att 4,314) Bury (2) 3 (Hoyland 15, Robinson 44, Bishop 65): Farnworth, Hill, Pashley, Leonard, Valentine, Higgins, Lee, Robinson, Hoyland, McIlroy, Bishop; Subs Parkinson, Clements. Wolves (0) 1 (Streete 60): Kendall, Bellamy, Thompson, Streete, Robertson...

Veno not playing ahead of any of Thommo, Robertson or Streete is a scandal and that could be the most one paced midfield of all time.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Looking at the season my attendance record (first ever season) was:

Reading W 2-1
Port Vale D 3-3
Wigan W 2-1
Blackpool W 2-1
Southend W 3-0
Huddersfield W 4-1
Preston W 6-0
Mansfield W 6-2
Chester W 3-1
Cardiff W 2-0
Bristol City W 3-0
Fulham W 5-2
Northampton W 3-1
Bolton W 1-0
Bristol Rovers L 0-1
Brentford W 2-0
Torquay L 0-2
Swansea D 1-1
Bristol City W 2-0
Sheff Utd D 2-2

False advertising! I thought that was all normal.

My son's was also the that league but under Jackett, must have gone to 20 games and didn't lose once.

We started the next season pretty well and hadn't lost a home game on a Saturday by early November - I didn't take him midweek at that age. We went to Derby away and got hammered 5-0. Walking away from the ground he asked me if I'd seen us lose before...once or twice son, once or twice.

He's 16 next week and still fucking hates Derby
