Bolton Wanderers

Facing administration apparantly.

I wonder how that will affect the transfer of Christian Doidge from FGR if they now can't afford to pay for him!

Think they have agreed to pay up (or have a agreed a settlement).

been ongoing for a while this now hasnt it ?
Seem to think last year there was a similar winding up order due to be heard.

The glory of the Premier League strikes again.

But we are still alive  [just] thanks to one person  { here it comes  ]

I believe at one stage they were something like £170 million in dept, I think it was a case of couldn't adfford to drop from the premiere league but couldn't afford to stay there.

So how the hell were they allowed to sign Christian Doidge on loan with a promise to sign him in January when the transfer window opens?

We spent 6 years in the Conference and lost around £3,000,000 thanks to one person.

If it wasn't for dear old Adolf i wouldn't be here , during WW2 my dad's house was bombed , he was moved next to my mum that's how they met .

Well MY dad hid in the cupboard under the stairs during the war. My mam didn't tell him it was over til 1953....

Now confirmed.............. Bolton have avoided administration after agreeing a deal to pay off their main creditor today.

Quoted from mariners1

And you were born in 1952.  Isn’t that right Zeke ? 😉

I think you might have got the wrong end of the stick when she said to him 'you've been in the closet all these years since that experience in the Blitz. It's about time you came out'.  

Quoted from Townee82

If it wasn't for dear old Adolf i wouldn't be here , during WW2 my dad's house was bombed , he was moved next to my mum that's how they met .

Exactly how my mum and dad met.
Luftwaffe bombed South London and mum's family were moved north.
He could be a bit of a sodomist but I'm only here because of him too.

I never knew my granddad (neither did my dad), as he kicked a butterfly bomb at the end of his street. Cheers Adolf!

That made me smile, we my sister, mother and I actually did hide under the stairs during the war, its also where we stored the coal and we always came out as black as Newgate`s knocker.
At that time we were on the bombing run to Liverpool Docks and if they could not find it they released their bombs on the way back anywhere, rather than go back with them.

Are you two brothers by any chance?

I've never heard that before. London expression?

Quoted from MarinerGaz

GY was one of the few places where they used the butterfly bomb. The media were gagged as to its effectiveness and completely underplayed the casualties caused. As a result the Germans didn't use it much after the Grimsby raid.

Growing up in the 60s and 70s 'butterfly bombs' were still bogie words. I assumed it was the same everywhere but in my experience not many people elsewhere had heard of them.

Quoted from mariners1

I'm only here because my dad (a shuttering joiner) came over from Hull and stayed in digs in Cleethorpes and met my mother whilst working on the Mablethorpe flood disaster.

promotion plaice, we might be related if your mum came from Mablethorpe.  I was brought up there and had a lot of family living in Mablethorpe then. 😏

What’s a butterfly bomb ?

My mother comes from Sheffield and has only lived in Cleethorpes since then

What’s a butterfly bomb ?

World war 2 bomb dropped by the Lufthansa, Anti-personal device that when dropped, butterfly wings opened for the bomb to “float” down.

1000’s were dropped on Grimsby on one particular night causing 100’s of deaths.

WWII my speciality

Grimsby and Hull were specifically targeted by the Lufthansa from airfields in Norway to destroy the Docks and surrounding  infrastructure as ships leaving these ports played a large part in mine sweeping the North Sea

I think you're getting confused with the Luftwaffe, they dropped the odd bomb or two.
Lufthansa like dropping every fcukers suitcases.
