Keith Branagan saves a Reading penalty just before half time. Would have made the score 3-0 to Reading and practically game over. Without this save, Bolton Wanderers would not be where they are today.
Trust me, you guys won't fill a 38,000-seater stadium very often. Middlesbrough made the same mistake over a decade ago making their ground 35,000 and it pains me as a fan of the Premiership to see their ground so empty on matchday now. Respect for you getting back though, I can't imagine the pain you must have had that day back in '95. Mind you we've had a few of our own.
Plus, does it matter if it took 11 years to make it? Next season were extended our stadium to 38,000. Finished in top 10 in our first season....spending what? 1.5 million?
I'm not the type to get snobby at all cos I remember the away days at Crewe and Gillingham (though they are now Scunthorpe and Peterborough) but I do think Boro will find it a long road back to the top......... however you may be better for it, as we may be in the long run. As long as you don't implode like a Leeds or Norwich you may well re-build a new, much-stronger ship than the boring same-old shit you left the Prem with. And you get some ace away days to boot.
Still the best Bolton game ive ever been to ..Watching them for 35 years nothing comes close to that game ..
Great tackle!
Most important save in Boltons history!
