Middlesbrough added to pre-season to be played at Bishop Auckland FC.
Not one for the travelling fans, it's best left for Whites living within easy reach.

Who will be travelling to the North East? I used to go on the occasions we played Newcastle but only the fans who don't like to miss a game will be vying for tickets.

As Dion would say "We are limping towards pre-season".

How do feel the PR campaign going so far? I've been doing my Ted Heath impression and shrugging my shoulders.

I'd suggest that the Middlesbrough match probably won't have any fans going to it.

Going to be ticket for Middlesbrough. A few hundred.

What a let-down.
It being Sunday, I checked the Ben expecting to see the top 10 most popular hymns of Wanderers players.

Then they have the cheek, to ask you to pay for the upkeep of the rag.

We've got Spanish lesson for Eoin Toal and yet another article from the interview with Sharon. Mi been dining on that for a week. What more does one want

Isn't it time, Iles painted another bedroom and took time off to browse the Burtons broken biscuits catalogue.

The sooner Sharon gives IE some spends the better.
As for selling, I'm still waiting for IE's annual story of the phone hasn't stopped ringing. Agents wanting everyman he has for peanuts.

There is either nothing happening at the club or the club doesn't want to feed the newspaper stories about potential signings so not to give anyone else in for them any tips to nip in front.

All this Bolton News bashing on here is quite frankly weird.

The Ben deserves everything it gets.
Look at the state of it these days.

The sooner it goes the better. I'd rather it goes in full, rather than via the condensed version route or merger some NewQuest papers have taken.

I think the bn missed a trick not using the taken it's Toal headline. Time yet.

Must be all that hot weather!

Talking of nice weather. I've worked it out, I should miss the first two friendlies.
Question is now, do I extend my stay and miss the Port Vale game? As it will be the usual half a squad each half. I'm tempted to stop away longer and enjoy the wine and grub.

That is probably what is happening, mention your interested in a player and every club with money to spend will be looking at him.

As for the BN, I said earlier that the club had given nothing to report, but it is a bit tedious when he rehashes the same news several times.

Iwon't be back until the 10th of September, however, I will still be watching the games on Saturdays. I'm hoping there are no mid-week games as when the family are over, we will be eating out, unless I organise a BBQ. I think that is the answer, we have a TV lounge next to the terrace where we eat. The son-inlaw likes to take over when it comes to BBQ's, I let him get on with it.

Has anybody looked at the new back of the shirt partner?
Anybody ever used them?

I can't see ebuyer due to security issues. Unless I have a reason to see it, I can't be bothered releasing it so I can see it.

From what I've heard so far, it's probably not worth my while anyway. I have been told "you may shop and F&M, but we all know we just ask you if we want owt they offer"

Just me being curious like

Hmm laptops and pc bits and the like.

I may have to do some upgrading soon so they could be an option if they are any better value and quality wise than what I've got in the past.

Just seen Toal on the bench for NI against mighty Andorra. They are 2-0 up NI and former loanee Connor Bradley has both goals.

We taught him that.

I bought a new laptop in March and because I had searched online I received lots of offers from a host of companies, ebuyer was one of them, and if I remember rightly, they sold a lot of second-hand refurbished machines,

I didn't buy one because I was a little sceptical of the reliability of a used machine. I eventually purchased a new one from Hewlett-Packard.

My previous laptop was from the same company and lasted over 10 years.

Thanks all
You've convinced me, I'll leave ebuyer blocked.

Talk about having the blues.
I know when I'm going away, trouble is there's just over a month to go.
Everything drags on and on.
It's a good job, I've hidden the key to the wine cellar and forgotten where I put it.

Sad news.

Rip Tommy.

I was lucky, to see him quite often prior to me leaving Bolton.
A sad loss.

RIP

RIP Tommy Banks. He was in the team when I was younger and was a formidable full back.Sleep tight Tommy.
