MORE than 1,000 Bolton fans made the trip to see Wanderers scrape a 1-1 draw with non-league side Eastleigh FC.
About 1,100 were at the Silverlake Stadium to see Darren Pratley score three minutes from time to rescue an FA Cup third round replay for Wanderers.
Many took to social media to document the away day as they made the 230 mile journey to Hampshire.

There was a nervous wait for fans before the 3pm kick-off as officials carried out pitch inspections before eventually declaring it was fit to play on.
One fan was so thrilled with Pratley's equaliser that he managed to scale the roof of the stadium in celebration - see video above, posted on Twitter by Kieron Wilson.
Eastleigh boss Chris Todd is now urging TV bosses to choose his side for FA Cup live coverage after the non-league minnows held Championship side Wanderers to the draw.
