A long haul trip today to Swanseas liberty stadium. Not going today but been before and some journey between 4 and 5 hours. Bolton now 4 points adrift of safety face a relegated from the premier league Swansea who have struggled for consistency and are in mid table not going down and not going up. I remember the good old days when us Bolton fans could sing a variation of that song. Relegation seams to be the least of the clubs worries as its very existence is now at stake. No one knows where the due diligence is up to with the takeover but players, staff have not been paid, season ticket direct debits haven't been collected. The police haven't been paid adding to a long list of creditors. Rumours of staff walkouts and players funding the trip to Swansea themselves. If there is no successful resolution to this farce in the week then i can't see nexts saturdays match at home to millwall happening. Armageddon is nigh. Team news. Jason Lowe is suspended and I expect Luke Murphy to come in as the one change. Alnwick, wildschut, Wilson still out but the injury list easing with Taylor and connell back in training. Hopefully this isn't the last ever match thread.

I'm more concerned about SWIE I hope he's alright and not got involved behind the scenes.
I'll post what I have later

Hi Guys. I'm sorry not to have been involved of late but I have no internet at the lodge since I returned. The old Wi-Fi system was closed down and the new one is being actioned. If fact some owners have it already. I have paid up front and the guy who owns the new company had run out of equipment. It arrived yesterday but because it was raining he wouldn't fit our system. Talk about being soft.
We are at our son's house today on childminding duty, hence the Wi-Fi. So, tomorrow morning is the day for the install, that is if it's not raining. We will see.
I have been starved of all info regarding BWFC except finding out that the next game will now go ahead. Of course, I have had a bumper session of catching up with the news. It's good to see that the takeover is now progressing although we have been at this point before and I'm not counting our chickens just yet. It's good to see that you and Golden have been keeping the forum alive and kicking in the absence of other members of the forum going awol.
I'm hoping that I will be able to tune into the forum on Saturday but it's dependant on a certain plonker being able to get the WI-Fi up and running.
Keeping everything crossed for Saturday and of course hoping that Ken can get the deal over the line ASAP.

To be honest I'm sick to death about what is happening at the moment, really just want to get back to discussing football. The latest from the beano ed family could boot ken out, why not do this earlier? One day the takeover is going to happen, the next not. At the moment it looks like the match is going on. Every time I heard the beano mention the part time staff will be paid Thursday and full time staff Friday no mention of the players. Wouldn't be surprised if the players downed tools and we couldn't put a team out tomorrow. A week away I think from they could all walk out of their contracts. Hopefully something sorted today. Personally I'm sick of the rollercoaster we are on at the moment, ups and downs. I want to get off. Match tomorrow, can't see I'm looking forward to it.

Move along nothing to see here stay calm and save your energy for match day.
If you want to do something useful put a good word in at the Howfen amateur dramatics society they could use some of the Beano staff they've been practicing all week.

The sick bay is rather full and Sleepy Sammy is snoring somewhere I can hear him from here and then there is the banned for being naughty so we are a bit short on players who fit into the mad Prof's style of play remember you can't play unless you fit his style of play perhaps we can bash some square pegs into round holes again that's always fun isn't it.
