Brief history : Bolton Wanderers are one of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888 and winners of the first Wembley FA Cup Final in 1923. The Whites have been a proud part of the history of the game.


Town travel "ova tops" to Bolton. Bolton currently sat in 21st place on 18 points. They've picked up some good results recently since Neil lennon has been in charge.

Their stats so far are: played 18 won 5 drawn 3 and lost 10 with a goal difference of - 7 with 18 points. Pretty poor really, but they've had some trouble on and off the field. Good news for town is that Jermaine Beckford has been loaned out to Preston both ends. So he won't be scoring against us.


Head to head: We've met 44 times @ Bolton (in the league) with Bolton winning the lions share of 26 times,to towns 8 with 10 draws.


Weird facts about Bolton:

Global sports company Reebok began life in a cobblers store in Deane. Joe Foster first hit on the idea of driving nails through shoes -- the forerunners of modern day spikes - in 1895.

And finally ; Most disposable bedpans in the world are made in Bolton by Vernacare.


Any road, back to Town now.


We are going into this game on a mini slump, having only gained one point from a possible nine. The international break cocked us up in my opinion, oh and playing two former premier league teams. Imo we deserved the point against Sheffield weds, however, they should have had a penalty.


Town currently sit in 14th place on 21 points with 5 victories, 6 draws and 7 defeats, with - 6 goal difference. So not much difference really. We're both on our second managers of the season, with some Town fans wishing we'd have installed Neil lennon as our boss.

This league is very tight this season. No run away teams and lots of congestion in the middle and bottom of the table. My prediction is a narrow 1-2 victory for town.

Safe journey to all those making the short trip.
