I attended my first Wanderers game at Burnden on the evening of 30 August 1961. It was a 4-3 win against an excellent Sheffield Wednesday team comprising Springett, Swan, Kay and Lane, all England players. As a 6 year old I found the famous Burnden roar deafening and frightening. The atmosphere was always good. I also remember attending two semi-finals there – Everton v. Man. Utd in 1966 and Leeds v. Man. Utd in 1972. It was always a bogey ground for United.

I visited Burnden Park three times between 1971 & 1984 to watch my club, Sheffield United. It was a “bogy” ground for the Blades although I did witness our only win there in living memory, 2-1 in 1977 which probably cost The Trotters promotion. Although a lttle primitive, the ground had a good atmosphere thanks to the partisan home crowd. The embankment surrounding the pitch made it difficult to take corners and long throw ins! Burnden Park’s demise was another nail in the coffin of the traditional football ground where you could stand up and bay for blood!

I first visited Burnden Park Monday the 30th March 1970. I am an avid Everton Supporter and at the time I was living in Pembrokeshire West Wales. My Grand Parents lived in Bolton, so when we visited them at Easter 1970 I went to see Everton Play Chelsea at Goodison Park with my Dad and Granddad on Saturday the 28th March 1970. It was a total lockout and we could not get into the ground, Everton won 5-2, utterly dissapointed and not seeing the game, my Granddad took me and my Dad to see Bolton play Blckburn Rovers an evening match on Monday the 30th March. We were behind one of the goals and Bolton won 1-0.

I have many happy memories of watching Wanderers play from the embankment come rain or shine back in the late 50’s and early 60’s. Still support them even though I have lived in the North East for well over 20 years now. You can take me out of Bolton but you will never take Bolton out of me.

Stayed in transport digs just across the road from the stadium in the 60’s, sorry looking place then!

The stadium had a great atmosphere for bolton but did see the end of its days, it started falling apart.
