Callum Gilhooley Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Let’s not be too judgemental on Bolton . They are a big club don’t you know. They can (not) afford to sign players on £25000 a week . [emoji23]We are just wee St.mirren and can only dream what it must be like to be able to ( not) afford these highly paid players .

santaponsasaint Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 If I GS I would be looking to sue this mickey mouse English club. Does this mean our 1st game of the season will be a league cup tie. I agree with Stevie Clarke this Betfred cup group games in mid July are a joke and making Scottish football the usual laughing stock.

Stu Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Annan were due to play Saints in a game at Gartscube tomorrow. I assumed it would be our under-17s or 20s that played as we were meant to be facing Bolton but I imagine the first team will take it instead. Not ideal, especially for the fans, but better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stewards have lost a days pay. It's these people others of that ilk have lost business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 We should bill these barstewards for expenses incurred. Even though they would likely just write an IOU on a beer mat, it’s the principle - bill the fcukers. I wonder if any Bolton fans decided to come up for this and make a weekend of it by staying in Glasgow. Maybe Sir Fitzy should call Neil Doncaster and see if he can whip up some Northern Irish, Welsh, or lower league English no-marks to turn up and at least give us a run out.

Kemp Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 It doesn't appear any outrage from Bolton fans, I assume very few, if any, of them had made the journey. Fingers crossed the Bolton team enjoy watching England going home today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who covers the cost of my pre-paid Scot-Rail Ticket. £20 quid down the drain which they won't refund because they haven't cancelled any of the six trains my return journey would involve. Feck and I only saved about two quid buying it in advance. That's about another 10 ticket gambles on journeys just to break even. Better odds on Paddy Power or one of their associates. Pity they don't do trains and hotels. When going to matches, advance planning is fecking useless. If it's not TV that's fecking up fixtures, it's internationals or last minute cancellations by officials who seem to think they can change a fixture with one weeks notice and now some overpaid players who want to watch the England game have gone on strike. Arrghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not even the first game of the season and the fans have been fecked over already. Sweden better win and ruin their day.

Send Bolton a photocopy of your train ticket and ask for the cost to be reimbursed. Don't let the bastards away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't hold my breath but reimbursement request has been sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E=Mc2 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Any Bolton fans up are the guys who, like some of us, travel everywhere to be with like minded football lovers. We should welcome them to our town. (I live in Glasgow ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their local man Samuel Crompton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Crompton Crompton invented the spinning mule https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_mule Excellent wee movie of a working spinning mule.
