Memories of Burnden Park
« Thread Started on Aug 1, 2008, 3:57pm »
With us returning to the big time in 15 days time at Bolton what are your memories of Burnden Park.The 2 that stick out for me are the promotion party in 1993 and a league game there around 1991.Raining,standing on the open Normid end watching a awful game.Then up popped Gareth Evans with a brillant diving header,stokies went wild.Think TJ climbed the floodlight pylon and started a brillant Delilah.

Have been there many times over many years the first time i went was a cup game can't remember the year and stoke fans invaded the pitch.This was my first away game and did not realise at the time what a big part of my life stoke city were to become.

The stand behind Normid with about 30 seats


Some muppets singing 'Brentford are losing' last game of the season when they were winning sending us into the play offs and missing automatic.

the first time i went burden park must have been in the 70s (or very early 80s i think) as a very noisey young lad i got off the bus at there coach park.next minute there must have been 20 very hard looking blokes in donkey jackets walking behind us.all they kept saying was lets have a fight.god they shit us up.
then all though the game, we were pelted with half enders coming over the back fence.they scared me to death.

My memories are of Kavanagh equalising in from what I can remember being injury time. I was making my way out and looked back to see the gk at the edge of the box and the ball on it's way to the onion bag! Cue Mental!!!!

My memories of many visits to Burnden Park are not of one match in particular but of one pre-match, around fifteen seasons ago.

As I stood outside, in the pouring rain, with no match-day atmosphere and hardly any home or opposition fans arriving, I pondered on going through the turnstiles to see that Normid monster and the near-empty terraces, feeling sorry for Bolton's true supporters and their lack of any hope - as I thought.

How wrong can you be? >:( I've so often reflected since, as they achieved success we couldn't even dream of trying to emulate, what a nosedive into anonymity for us, as they and so many other clubs, roared past us.

Finally , it's our turn and I'm determined to make the most of it. :)

My first visit to Burnden Park was in the 70's for a cup game.

It was one of.........if not the first??............games to be played on a Sunday and there were lots of protests outside about the game going on, with a few religious types with soapboards etc.

Not surprisingly, with our cup record, we lost ::)

bogus, I remember that Sunday match very well before the game hundreds of stoke fans got on to the pitch and ran the length of the pitch and jumped into the home end. I remember beening in there ended seeing endless fights and yes lose yet another cup game 1-0 i seem to think?

I'm sure I can remember a guy doing a handstand flippy thing before throwing the ball into the box? that was Bolton cause they had a xtra long piece of turf for his run up ! Delap take note

promotion party, stood in the paddock, cheering when they scored? never sat right with me.

cup game in the 70's and the brick day..a party trick that Bolton also reated against Spurs

Brick day,for the obvious and for the first time I'd had a blade pulled on me , the sight of Stokies using only their bare hands and car keys to dig up a piece of a railway sleeper, before sitting on the wall behind the bolton section and dropping it onto the bolton fans :( and for the ' isn't it nice to sing and to fight now city are in YOUR division' song
