why i like "BOLTON WANDERERS FC"

people might find it hard to believe that i'am a fan of bolton wanderers. but its true, i have been a bolton fan for the past 8years. isn't it a conversation starter "i support bolton wanderers fc". over the years it has been a fun way to start conversations, people usually go through 15 to 18 guesses until they finally are able to guess my favorite football club. its sort of a guilty pleasure i guess for me trying to force them into guessing. over the years supporting bolton has given me few scares and sleepless night but so far it all has been totally worth it.

im sure some of you might had some good laugh knowing i support bolton wanderers. but i dont care, i have always been the type of person who takes the road less travel by. why do i need to follow others by supporting obvious teams such as "man u, liverpool, arsenal, chelsea". what happen to those who use to support leeds united and newcatsle united, ever since their relegation people have just abandoned them. is that what you call team spirit. through thick and thin i have always been a trotters supporter. i was jumping with joy when they qualify for europe and when they where struggling in the bottom half of the table i was praying and was rooting for them to pull it together and survive the season.

i say thats the spirit of football, especially in malaysia where we only see main stream football club supporters only. so i say whats the point of supporting a football club when you are not even loyal towards it, loyalty is important whether its personal matters or anything in life. i hate people who constantly jump ship its actually a mirror on how they where brought up and one's personality. i picked bolton without knowing anything about football, yet even after i found out bolton is actually a weak team i still stayed with them despite constant peer pressure. in the eight years i have been a bolton fan, the team finish its highest ever EPL position which was 6th place equal on points with Liverpool, qualified for europe twice, a league cup finalist, reached the last 16 of UEFA cup and had beaten quality opponents along the way.

i'm proud to say that iam a Bolton Wanderers supporter .. in my eyes the trotters will always be my champion.
