Come On Bolton Fans - Give Sam A Great Reception!

Last updated : 10 August 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor

I'll admit we try to wind up opposing fans on this NewcastleUtd-Mad site, simply to get the banter going and get a reaction.

Where would football be without the "banter"? Opinion is the beauty of the sport, and EVERYONE has an opinion ... and we want to hear it.

And over the years we've had some class banter with the Trotters. They are passionate (like ourselves), hate Manchester United (like ourselves) and you ALWAYS get a good in-depth conversation.

Sam Allardyce returns to the Reebok tomorrow, and I hope they remember the last eight years, and not his move to Newcastle. I hope the home fans greet him with dignity.

Sam Allardyce: "I am not so sure what kind of reception I will receive from the Wanderers supporters. Some will be supportive of me and what I did, and I suppose some will not be so supportive.

"But nobody down there will be able to point any fingers at me or question what I did for Bolton Wanderers."
