A break from cup action and back to what really matters. A league one fixture in between 3 cup games. On a run of 4 straight league wins over the Christmas period (doesn't that seem a long time ago now?), 2nd in the league 2 points off top with 2 games in hand and 2 points off 3rd and 4th with a game in hand. In a good place but Bolton can't allow their heads to be turned by the cups. Today's opponents Cheltenham a different proposition to the one that Bolton beat 3-0 the 2nd league game of the season. As easier a game as I can ever remember. Looking back to October Cheltenham were beaten 3-2 at Blackpool and sat bottom with 5 points from 14. Since then Cheltenham have picked up 18 points from 11 including wins over Oxford and Portsmouth and have a fighting chance of staying up. Team news. Evatts rotation leaves today's side picking itself. The only issue seems Dempsey or Maghoma. Likely starting 11. Baxter. Forrester Santos Toal. Dacres-cogley Maghoma Sheehan Thomason Williams. Adeboyejo Charles.

Ah it wasn't. Burton have re-scheduled their game to get this one on. Also news on watching logistics.
Cheltenham were due to play at Burton Albion next Tuesday night, but that game has been postponed to facilitate the Robins’ re-arranged trip to Wanderers.
The Whites would like to thank both clubs for their co-operation in agreeing to the switch.
Tickets issued to Wanderers’ fans for the original date for the Cheltenham game can be re-used but anyone unable to attend the revised fixture and wishing to claim a refund can do so at the ticket office at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.
Anyone who booked hospitality will also be able to re-use that booking or claim a refund or credit note if unable to attend the revised fixture via clubbolton@bwfc.co.uk.
The club will also be in touch with anyone who bought a match or audio pass via Wanderers TV to issue a voucher code for next Tuesday.

Made it to work despite the snow. Still snowing and guess match tonight is in serious doubt. Will update at lunchtime and possibly start the Luton thread.

That would be another hiccup with the fixture list. I hope that someone at the ground had the common sense to take a look at the weather forecast and switched on the undersoil heating if so. the club need to get plenty of salt for spreading around the concourse and recruit the help of fans to spread it.
I remember a night game several years ago when the snow had been very heavy, I parked on a pile of snow that had been shovelled together as there were no other parking spaces. The game went on as scheduled.
Let's hope that we can get the same result tonight.
