Bolton fans tune in to see 2018 escape - here's how they celebrated first time around

Phil Parkinson’s side avoided relegation with an improbable last-day victory, sealed with Aaron Wilbraham’s header a few minutes from full time.

So we decided to see what the social media reactions were like on the day itself.

Rewind to 2018 – and here’s how Bolton Wanderers fans celebrated staying up.

That 2nd half was possibly the most amazing 45 mins I’ve ever experienced in 40 years of watching #bwfc. Full spectrum of emotions. Why we both hate and love football with a passion. Well done Parky & the lads. You did it. COYWM. pic.twitter.com/BcipPGabI4

The lights go out on another season at #BWFC. Days like today are why we get into the industry!

I've never reported on a game like today before and doubt I ever will again. But then I never thought last season's final day scenes would be topped either. Bring on 2018/19! pic.twitter.com/1c7HmZRwTj

I’ve been all over the country with these lads. Toiling. Getting beat, minus 10 temperatures, last minute goals, leathered in London no clue how to get home.

And we’ve done it. And I love you all. #bwfc pic.twitter.com/cwDz7kxibi

You go home and away spend money give everything you can. Then there is that moment that that gives it all back in a split second and it's all worth while. Today was the day! #bwfc
