FROM THE MANAGER
IAN EVATT
GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY OF BOLTON STADIUM FOR
THIS AFTERNOON’S SKY BET LEAGUE ONE FIXTURE AGAINST CHELTENHAM TOWN.
Welcome to Wade Elliott, his staff
and players, and all the travelling
supporters who have made their
way up to the North West today.
​Like us, Cheltenham are in the
semi-finals of the Papa Johns
Trophy later this month, and will
be wanting to make sure they get
to that fixture with a good run of
form under their belts. They are a
difficult team to play against and
we’ll have to show our usual good
energy and sharpness in front of
goal if we are to get the result we
want.
​Looking back at the last couple
of games, I am obviously happy
with both victories following the
disappointing defeat against Derby
County. It was an uncharacteristic
performance by us but to bounce
back immediately with successive
wins has been very pleasing.
​We had to dig deep and show
some real resolve to beat Forest
Green after our game plan turned
on its head. Much has been written
about the sending off and I don’t
wish to add anything further, but
to play the majority of the game
with a man down in those
circumstances and to see
out the victory illustrated
our battling qualities and
appetite to win.
​Last weekend, at The Valley,
it was a different
kind of game. The
Addicks have been
on a good run of
form since Dean
Holden came in and
it was always going
to be a challenge to
beat them on their own soil. We
got off to an excellent start with
that sublime free-kick from Aaron
Morley and could have scored a
few more before they got back
into it just after half time. But we
got our just rewards thanks to Dion
Charles who showed his natural
instinct in front of goal to restore
our lead.
The only criticism I could find from
that game was that we should
have put the game beyond them
in the first half. But we are creating
plenty of chances in games and
the goals will come.
​The transfer window closed earlier
in the week and I am more than
happy with the business we have
done over the month. A lot is made
of the deadline day itself but the
recruitment process is ongoing so
that when the window opens, be
that in the summer or in January,
we are ready to get recruits in.
This window has been no
exception and we are delighted
to have brought in Randell
Williams, Dan Nlundulu, Shola
Shoretire, Cameron Jerome, Victor
Adeboyejo and Luke Mbete.
​Cameron and Victor joined in
time for the Charlton game and
will be a tremendous boost for
our frontline. Cameron’s
experience will be
invaluable, while
Victor has showed
his prowess in front
of goal for Burton
this season.
​Luke is the
latest player we
have brought in on loan from a
top Premier League club, joining
the likes of James Trafford and
Conor Bradley, and the recent
acquisitions of Dan and Shola.
That the top clubs are letting
their young talents join us on a
temporary basis highlights the trust
and faith they have in how we go
about our business.
​Huge thanks to Sharon and
the Board for their support in
strengthening the squad, while full
credit must go to Chris Markham
and the recruitment team for their
work in identifying the right type of
players to enhance our squad.
Following the departure of Dapo
Afolayan and Amadou Bakayoko
earlier in the window, we also said
goodbye to Will Aimson while
Kieran Sadlier joined Leyton Orient
on loan until the end of the season.
​We received an offer we felt was
acceptable for Will. Exeter offered
him a really good contract and we
thank Will for everything he’s done.
​In the last six weeks, in particular,
he was outstanding and his
professionalism has been superb.
​‘Sads’ is at an age where he wants
to be playing regular first-team
football and wants to be starting
every single week, and at the
moment we couldn’t offer him that.
​We always try to do right by our
players and we allowed him to go
out on loan.
​Enjoy the game and thank you for
your loyal support.
Ian.

Ten-man Wanderers held on for
an important three points against
relegation-threatened Forest Green
Rovers at the University of Bolton
Stadium.
Dion Charles’ superb finish gave
Wanderers an early lead, but the striker
was sent off in a case of mistaken
identity following an altercation
between Elias Kachunga and Brandon
Cooper.
The visitors inevitably had plenty of the
ball during the remaining three quarters
of the game but Ian Evatt’s side showed
tremendous commitment and the
willingness to cover ground to see out
the game and keep a clean sheet.

The Robins
FOUNDED:

[ LAST FIVE SEASONS ]
DID YOU KNOW?
The team started life in a deep red
playing kit which inspired a nickname
of “The Rubies.” In 1903 they adopted
the colours which are still worn, red
and white. Over the years the style
has varied, including plain shirts and
hoops but striped shirts have proved
recently popular. The new colours
led to a change in nickname to “The
Robins” which is still used today.

THE SPINE OF THE TEAM
GOALKEEPER | LUKE SOUTHWOOD
AGE: 25 | ON LOAN FROM READING
Currently on loan from Championship side Reading, Southwood has been a regular
between the sticks for the Robins this term with 31 appearances so far. During that
time he has kept 10 clean sheets.
Capped once by Northern Ireland on the international stage, the Oxford-born stopper
came through the youth ranks at Reading to make his senior debut whilst on loan at
Bath City during the 2017/18 season with his Royals debut coming in September 2020
after spending the previous season (2019/20) on loan at Hamilton Academical.
Making 26 appearances for Reading last term, Southwood fell down the pecking
order in the summer following the arrivals of Joe Lumley and Dean Bouzanis at the
Madejski Stadium and subsequently joined Wade Elliott’s side on loan.
CENTRE BACK | CALEB TAYLOR
AGE: 20 | ON LOAN FROM WEST BROMWICH ALBION
Having only turned 20 years of age a couple of weeks ago, Taylor has gained an
invaluable education and experience during his time on loan at Cheltenham Town
from Championship side West Bromwich Albion this season.
Playing a couple of times for the Baggies’ U21s side in the Football League Trophy
in 2020/21, last season he made three first team appearances for the club.
Starting in a 6-0 EFL Cup defeat to Arsenal, Taylor came off the bench in an FA Cup
defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion and also in a league victory against Barnsley.
This season, he has made 30 appearances for Cheltenham and scored his first
senior goal in the Robins’ 3-2 home defeat to Derby County on his 20th birthday in
the middle of last month.
CENTRE MIDFIELDER | LIAM SERCOMBE
AGE: 32 | PREVIOUS CLUB: BRISTOL ROVERS
A vastly experienced midfielder at this level, Sercombe adds guile and know-how to
Cheltenham Town’s midfield department. Familiar with the South West of the country, he came
through the ranks at hometown club Exeter City to make his professional debut for the Grecians
in August 2007.
He would go onto make a total of 263 appearances (23 goals) for the club before a move
to Oxford United in May 2015. Spending two seasons with the U’s, Sercombe made 101
appearances (22 goals) before signing for Bristol Rovers in May 2017.
Impressing during just over three years at the Memorial Stadium, he racked up 127 appearances
(19 goals) before Cheltenham Town completed his capture. Playing a key role in Cheltenham
Town’s title-winning campaign in 2020/21, he’s well beyond a century of appearances for the
Robins with his career total standing above 600 appearances.
STRIKER | ALFIE MAY
AGE: 29 | PREVIOUS CLUB: DONCASTER ROVERS
May has enjoyed the best spell of his career in the professional game since his
move to Cheltenham Town three years ago from Doncaster Rovers. He has 10
goals to his name so far this term, with 4 goals in his last 6 appearances.
Last season, he managed an impressive 26 goals in 53 appearances following
on from the 13 goals he managed during Cheltenham’s League Two title winning
campaign (2020/21). The Kent-born frontman spent time in the youth ranks at
Millwall before dropping into non-league to get his senior career underway.
Catching the eye with prolific goalscoring at Erith & Belvedere and Hythe Town, he
was offered his chance in the professional game by Doncaster Rovers in January
2017. During three years in South Yorkshire, he made 117 appearances (23 goals).

THE BOSS…
The 44 year-old former midfielder took charge of Cheltenham Town
last summer following Michael Duff’s departure to Barnsley. A former
teammate of Duff’s at Burnley, Elliott was promoted to the position of
Head Coach from his position on Duff’s coaching staff after the latter
swapped Gloucestershire for South Yorkshire.
Currently 18th in League One and four points above the relegation zone,
Elliott will primarily be aiming to steer the Robins clear of the bottom four
whilst looking to at least match last season’s 15th-place finish.
As a player, Elliott was released by hometown club Southampton as
a teenager and dropped into non-league with Bashley before being
offered his chance in the professional game by Bournemouth. After five
years at Dean Court (2000-2005), he spent six at Turf Moor with Burnley
(2005-2011) before finishing his career with spells at Birmingham City and
Bristol City.

MARLAND’S
MUSINGS
One hundred years ago on
the 3rd February 1923 the
Wanderers continued their
march towards a place in
history with a second round
FA Cup tie against Leeds
United at Burnden Park.
Since the first-round success
at Norwich City, Bolton had
played two First Division
games both against Sheffield
United, drawing both, 1-1 at
Burnden and 2-2 at Bramall
Lane.
The only change to the cup
side was at left back where
Percy Thirkell came in for
the injured Alec Finney. This
was to be his only FA Cup
appearance for the club, he
remained with the Wanderers
until 1925, joining Tranmere
THE LADS OF ’23.
Rovers where he played 175
games. He passed away in Bolton
in 1997 aged 96.
Second Division Leeds United had
risen from the ashes of Leeds City
who had been expelled from the
League in 1919 for paying players
during the First World War. A crowd
of 43,341, the best of the season
to date, saw the Peacocks take
the lead through inside left Jack
Swan and it looked like they were
going to be disappointed until cup
talisman David Jack, who didn’t
touch the ball for a 23-minute spell
in the first half, equalised.
This proved to be the catalyst as
the Yorkshire sides defence began

MATTERS WITH
CLUB HISTORIAN
SIMON MARLAND…
to collapse. Captain, Joe
Smith, (pictured) put Bolton
ahead with a cross-drive
and Jack weaved his way
through a crowd of players
to put the ball into the net
from close range to secure a
3-1 win and qualification for
the third round for the first
time since the war.
Greater tests were to lie
ahead when the draw was
made. A visit to Leeds
Road to face cup holders
Huddersfield Town wasn’t
the draw from heaven but
Bolton took solace that they
had already dented their
championship hopes by
completing the double over
them without conceding a
goal.

#29 VICTOR
ADEBOYEJO
20 | The Wanderer 01204 328 888

VICTOR ADEBOYEJO WILL STEP OUT AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF BOLTON STADIUM FOR THE FIRST
TIME THIS AFTERNOON.
But he already knows he’s
following in big footsteps as a
Wanderers’ player.
Adeboyejo’s signing by the Whites
just over a week ago means
he’s travelling the same path
as boyhood inspiration Jay Jay
Okocha.
And for a Nigerian-born player
successfully making his way in the
professional game and about to
mimic his idol, it means a lot.
“He was a massive hero,” said
Adeboyejo as he looked forward
to donning the same colours as the
player remembered as an-all time
Wanderers’ great.
“I’m sure a lot of young Nigerian
boys growing up would say to
anyone that would ask that Jay Jay
was their uncle!
“I was definitely one of them. He
was a big player for Nigeria and, of
course, for Bolton in his time here.
“He’s someone I’ve looked up
to and to be here and see the
impact of how big the club is, is just
amazing.”
Okocha, of course, starred for
Wanderers in their Premier League
days, helping the side managed by
Sam Allardyce qualify for Europe
and reach the final of the League
Cup almost two decades ago.
That makes him a tough act
to follow but with Wanderers
looking upwards under Ian Evatt,
Adeboyejo will do what he can to
try and mimic his countryman on
the route back towards the top.
“However I can help I’m going to
look to try and do that,” he added.
“Fighting at the right end of the
table and pushing for promotion.
It will be nice to help out as much
I can.”
THERE’S
NOTHING
THAT BEATS
A WINNING
FEELING
AND GOING
ON THAT
JOURNEY
BACK
SMILING.
Adeboyejo’s arrival from
Burton Albion will certainly help
Wanderers’ cause as they look to
stay with the pace at the top end of
League One.
The 25-year-old had scored 13
times this season for a Burton
side fighting to beat the drop after
spending just six months with the
Brewers.
Getting the chance to play as a
central striker, having previously
operated in wider attacking
roles during a four-year spell
with Barnsley interspersed with
loan spells at Bristol Rovers and
Cambridge United, saw him
blossom.
And in a Wanderers’ side fluent
in attack and capable of creating
plenty of chances, Adeboyejo is
looking to flourish further.
www.bwfc.co.uk
The Wanderer | 21

“That was the idea, going into
the season and showing what I
can do playing regularly and I’m
grateful to Burton for giving me that
opportunity,” he added.
“I’ve always seen myself as that
sort of focal point and I wanted to
be that.
“I was able to show my qualities
and I’m grateful for the opportunity
to be here now. Hopefully I can
continue with it.”
Adeboyejo was able to share in a
winning start last Saturday when
he came off the bench at Charlton
Athletic to help Wanderers secure
an impressive 2-1 victory at
Charlton Athletic with an eyecatching
cameo full of pace, power
and penetration.
He looked immediately at home
after meeting his team-mates for
the first time as he boarded the
train to London, where he grew
up and launched his career with
Leyton Orient.
That followed a quick turn-around
to conclude his signing from Burton
ahead of the Friday deadline to
feature at The Valley.
And first impressions were certainly
positive – from all sides.
“Everything happened so quickly
but the manager and the boys
welcomed me - and the fans as
well,” Adeboyejo said.
“To see that many fans away at
Charlton at 12.30 on a Saturday
was incredible. The welcome there
was amazing and to get the win
there as well was an even bigger
bonus.
“There’s nothing that beats a
winning feeling and going on that
journey back smiling.”
Adeboyejo certainly has a smile to
light up a room and, like Okocha
before him, has all the attributes
to become a big favourite as he
relishes the prospect of a first
appearance at the Unibol and the
hunt for a first Wanderers’ goal.
“It would have been nice to
have scored last week, but that’s
coming. There’s real quality
everywhere in the team,” he
added.
“It’s amazing for me to know that
I’ve just got to get myself in good
areas and good positions and
those sorts of opportunities will
come.
“It was good to see the boys up
and close and to start training with
them this week.
“It takes a bit of time to build
relationships but the welcome from
everyone has been amazing, so I
don’t think it will take too long to
get going.
“And if the away support is like that,
then what’s it going to be like at
home?”
Perhaps he should give Jay Jay
a ring.

Wanderers continued their hot-streak with another
impressive victory on the road at Charlton Athletic in
front of the Sky Sports cameras.
Aaron Morley’s 4th-minute free-kick gave the Whites
the perfect start. His effort from 30 yards out found the
net via the inside of the post, leaving Ashley Maynard-
Brewer with no chance.
Ian Evatt’s men dominated the first half but led by
just a single goal at the break, and Charlton found an
equaliser less than a minute into the second half – Albie
Morgan’s shot from the edge of the box beating James
Trafford.
The three points were to ultimately head back to the
North West and following an error from Ryan Inniss, Kyle
Dempsey headed a loose ball across the box to Dion
Charles who fired the ball into an empty net, and it was
a goal that would prove decisive.

SLEEPOUT AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF BOLTON STADIUM!
Bolton Wanderers in the
Community, in partnership
with Bolton Wanderers
Football Club and Urban
Outreach, are hosting the
first ever BWFC Sleepout
event at the University of
Bolton Stadium this March.
The event will aim to raise
funds to support both the
club’s official charity and Urban
Outreach as they work to support
some of the most vulnerable
people living in Bolton.
Open to those aged 18 and over,
the event will take place pitchside
on Friday 10th March and will offer
business leaders, BWFC fans and
the local community the unique
opportunity to spend the night
sleeping under the stars at the
home of the Wanderers.
Money raised from the BWFC
Sleepout will be split between
the club’s official charity, Bolton
Wanderers in the Community and
Urban Outreach.
Bolton Wanderers in the
Community deliver projects and
initiatives to support children,
families and older adults who
may be experiencing hardship
and multiple disadvantages,
exacerbated by the current
economic climate.
Urban Outreach deliver services
to move homeless people and
those who are difficult to house
into suitable and sustainable
accommodation – so no one has
to resort to living on the streets of
Bolton at any time.
Speaking on the event Phil Mason,
CEO of Bolton Wanderers in the
Community said: “We are hoping
that this event will help to raise
awareness of homelessness in
Bolton and to support the vital work
that is undertaken in this area.
“I will be taking part in the Sleepout
myself and will be joined by the
CEO of the club, Neil Hart, who is
also making the commitment to join
in this great event.
“I would encourage the local
businesses, business leaders
and BWFC supporters to join me
in spending a night out under
the stars at the University
of Bolton Stadium for this
fantastic cause”.
Dave Bagley MBE, CEO of
Urban Outreach added “Our
ability as a town to be the
hands and hearts that hold
the hurting is unprecedented
and once again it’s our
great privilege to be in
partnership with the heart of the
Borough – Bolton Wanderers in the
Community and Bolton Wanderers
Football Club.
“Only together can we own the
aspiration that no one should be
without a home, and we remain
committed to seeing a dream
fulfilled that no one sleeps rough in
our great town of Bolton.
“I will be there and hope to
drag a few good friends to raise
money and awareness to ‘comfort
the disturbed and disturb the
comfortable’.”
The BWFC Sleepout is an overnight
event that will take place on Friday
10th March from 8pm – 8am.
Registration for the event is free
and fundraisers are asked to raise
a minimum of £200.
This event is open to those aged
18+ and the closing date to sign up
is Friday 24th February.
To register your interest, please

EQUIPPING CHARITIES IN THE TOWN
Here at Bolton Wanderers
we have just launched a new
programme that will help 50
Bolton-based charities develop
their digital skills.
The Bolton Digital Skills
programme is aimed to provide
learning and guidance to Boltonbased
charities around how to
effectively utilise social media to
raise awareness of their work.
Via a scoping and mentoring
exercise carried out by Bolton
CVS, a lack of skills, confidence
and resources in how to use digital
tools was identified as a leading
area of concern for many of the
1,672 organisations operating in
the town.
From this research, a partnership
was formed between the
club, Bolton Wanderers in the
Community, Bolton CVS and
Lightful - experts in the field of
training non-profits with digital skills
– and the technology company
that will lead the programme.
The Bolton Digital Skills
programme will enable charities
to access the support needed to
transform their approach to digital.
With an increased awareness
of their work, the hope is that
fundraising levels will be raised
across the board for the charities
taking part.
Our own Sharon Brittan, Chairman
of Bolton Wanderers has been at
the forefront of this development.
Sharon said, “There are so many
incredible and inspirational
charities operating in Bolton and,
as a club, we are passionate to
support their vital work where we
can.
“We are confident that through this
innovative new programme, the
organisations involved will gain
the tools needed to effectively
promote their work online, raise
more funds and, in turn, be able to
positively impact the lives of even
more people in our community.“
Vinay Nair, CEO and Co-Founder of
Lightful said: “So many charities in
Bolton do vital work - yet they often
struggle to convey this effectively
online. Lightful has worked with
thousands of charities across the
UK and around the world, helping
them to create a digital strategy,
improve their storytelling and raise
awareness and funds for their
work.
“We are thrilled to be part of this
partnership with Bolton Wanderers
in the Community and Bolton CVS
and we are excited to support
these brilliant charities to make the
most of the power of digital and
deliver even more impact in their
communities.”
The Bolton Digital Skills
programme will culminate in Bolton
Wanderers’ Unity Festival in the
spring, during which charities will
have the chance to showcase their
work at the club and celebrate
their roles in making Bolton a
better place to live.
Sanctioned and funded by Bolton
Wanderers’ board of directors,
the hope is the programme will
act as a blueprint for future,
similar initiatives, assisting more
organisations to grow their
supporter base and deliver positive
impact across communities.
My thanks go to all who have
helped launch this programme to
make a real and lasting difference
to so many charities that support
vital work and needs in Bolton.
Enjoy the Game,

MEMORABLE MATCHES
SEASON 2022/23 MARKS THE 25TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
BOLTON STADIUM.
Sunday 12th December 2010
Bolton Wanderers 2
Blackburn Rovers 1
Barclays FA Premer League.
A late winner secured the points
for ten man Wanderers as an
unwanted jinx came to an end.
Not since 1998 had three Premier
League points been secured
against Blackburn on home soil
and it was all the sweeter with
former manager Sam Allardyce in
the opposition dug-out.
After a scoreless first half Mark
Davies, who had picked up a
yellow card for a lunging tackle on
Martin Olsson, received a second
yellow for a challenge on Phil
Jones after 55 minutes. Rather
than shut up shop the Wanderers
went on the offensive and went
ahead ten minutes later.
THROUGHOUT THE SEASON CLUB
HISTORIAN SIMON MARLAND WILL LOOK
BACK AT SOME MEMORABLE GAMES.
Substitute, Fabrice Muamba,
received the ball at the far post,
strode past Gael Givet’s challenge
and squeezed his shot inside
the post. Despite the numerical
disadvantage Bolton looked likely
to increase their lead until three
minutes from time when on loan
Manchester United striker Mame
Diouf struck Rovers equaliser.
Threre was no time for deflation.
Sam Rickets played a long ball up
the middle, Kevin Davies chested
down into Stuart Holden’s path
and the American midfielder rifled
his volley past Paul Robinson
for a winning goal that lifted the
Wanderers into sixth place in the
Premier League.
Team: Jaaskelainen, Ricketts,
Cahill, Knight, Robinson, Lee,
(Muamba), M. Davies, Holden,
Petrov, (Taylor), Elmander, K.
Davies. Subs not used: Bogdan,
Steinsson, Klasnic, Rodrigo, Blake.
Attendance: 24,471
Sunday 6th May 2012
Bolton Wanderers 2
West Bromwich Albion 2
Barclays FA Premier League.
The Wanderers were well on their
way to securing Premier League
safety after going into a two goal
lead against West Brom.
In the 24th minute Mark Davies
was bundled over in the penalty
box and Martin Petrov stepped up
to convert the penalty. (Pictured).
Things got even better after 75
minutes when Petrov’s cut back
from the left was turned into his
30 | The Wanderer 01204 328 888

own net by Albion full back Billy
Jones. Nearest relegation rivals
QPR were drawing at home to
Stoke leaving Bolton outside the
bottom three.
Things started to get nervy when
Chris Brunt pulled one back for
Albion and, when news came
through that QPR had taken the
lead, the Wanderers moved from
coasting to desperate defending.
In the 90th minute the Wanderers
surrendered possession for
the umpteenth time and James
Morrison came up with Albion’s
equaliser.
The following weekend, as the
football world was enjoying the
Aguero moment at Manchester
City, the Wanderers fell through
the relegation trap door with a
2-2 draw at Stoke City as events
contrived to deny them the three
points that would have ensured
safety.
Team: Bogdan, Boyata, Ream,
Wheater,(Knight), Ricketts, Eagles,
Reo-Coker, M. Davies, Petrov, (Lee),
K. Davies, Ngog, (Klasnic). Subs
not used: Jaaskelainen, Alonso,
Miyaichi, Vela.
Attendance: 25,662
Friday August 10th 2012
Bolton Wanderers 2
Barcelona B 2
Pre-Season Friendly
Bolton headed into the following
weeks season Championship
opener at Burnley on the back
of an impressive performance
against Barcelona B.
After the Wanderers had struck the
woodwork twice in the first half,
all four goals in the game were
scored in the space of 18 second
half minutes as Bolton twice came
behind to earn a draw. Cristian
Lobato broke the deadlock with
a crisp left foot strike ten minutes
after the interval and Bolton
equalised when Martin Petrov’s
cross was turned into his own goal
by Sergi Gomez.
Barca ‘keeper Oier Olazabal made
a sprawling save to deny Benik
Afobe his fourth goal in as many
days and instead it was full back
Ivan Balliu who nudged the visitors
ahead by converting from a tight
angle in the 67th minute.
After a period of Bolton pressure,
in which Olazabal thwarted both
Petrov and Matt Mills, Marvin
Sordell found space in the six yard
box to plant a free header into the
net to bring Bolton back level for a
second time.
Team: Bogdan, Mears, (Riley), Mills,
Eagles, (Lee), Andrews, (Pratley),
Petrov, (Wylde), Knight, (Ream),
K. Davies, (Afobe), M. Davies,
(Vela), Ricketts, (Alonso), Sordell,
(O’Halloran). Subs not used:
Lonergan, Lynch.

ABOUT THE TRUST
JOIN THE TRUST
NEWS FROM THE
BWFCST
After the close of what we hope
will turn out to be another a
positive January transfer window,
Thursday evening saw this year’s
trust AGM take place in the
Platinum Suite.
Our chair, Terence Rigby, updated
members on trust activities during
the last 12 months, the most
important one being the renewal
of the Asset of Community Value
ACV) listing of the stadium. On
behalf of BWFC supporters
worldwide, the trust would again
like to place on record their
appreciation of the encouragement
received from Football Ventures
and Neil Hart during the ACV
renewal process.
Terence then went on to highlight
several other areas where club
and trust collaboration has had
positive results, including season
ticket pricing, ‘23/’24 kit fans vote,
primary schools family season
ticket offer and, of course, the
introduction of the Fanzone.
Add in the ongoing positive
LET’S DO THIS TOGETHER!
developments being put in place
through the Disabled Supporters
Working Group and things are
looking good off the field.
The willingness of Ian and Neil to
engage with the trust members
present during their Q&A with
Jacko merely emphasises the
status of the relationship between
the club and the trust. Indeed, on
behalf of the club, Neil encouraged
fans who aren’t already trust
members to take advantage of
the trust offer of a half-price first
year membership. This discount
will hopefully attract new members
and strengthen the relationship
between club and supporters. This
can only help the project underway
to stabilise our club and ensure
a sustainable future - something
that seemed such a very remote
situation in August 2019!
During the AGM a motion was
debated that called for the trust
to do more to engage with both a
younger and wider group of fans.
This is something that both the
club and the trust want to happen.
To this end, we ask those of any
age, gender or ethnicity and who
have questions about how to
become more involved with the
operation of the trust to please
get in touch with us on enquiries@
bwfcst.co.uk .
Annual trust elections will take
place in March/April and if anyone
feels like they can contribute
to the operation of the trust,
there has never been a better
time to become a member and
join the journey! If you are not
already a member, you can join
by visiting www.bwfcst.co.uk or
by using the QR code on this
page. If you are not already a trust
member, you can now join at the
reduced subscription of £5 for your
first year’s annual membership.
This special offer has been agreed
during dialogue between trust and
club and is more evidence of the
positive relationship that exists.
Let’s do this together!!

MY FIRST EVER SEASON TICKET I LOVE BOLTON WANDERERS ALFIE RUSHTON
GOLDEN GOAL PROVES A GREAT SUCCESS.
With a winner nearly every
match our newest fundraiser has
proved to be a great success
with our fans this season.
1801 tickets are produced for
every game, 1800 tickets are
printed with three separate times
on (minutes and seconds) and
then we have 1 ticket with 00
mins and 00 secs which is the
ticket to have if there is a draw.
This proved to be a lucky ticket
over the festive season with two
of our home games ending in a
draw. These were the games V
Derby County on the 27th and
the game V Plymouth Argyle on
the 7th January 2023 and here is
one of the 00 – 00 winners Paul
Clements.
Paul, a season ticket holder,
bought his ticket from our seller
Sam in the North West stand,
then came into the shop after
the game to claim his cash and
went home happy.
Our most recent winner was
Richard Singleton of Southport
who was thrilled to match his
Golden Goal ticket to Dion
Charles goal time of 5 minutes
and 8 seconds!
Season ticket holder since the
90’s, Richard bought his ticket
from our seller Jason who is
based at the Club Shop.
He will be using some of
his winnings to frame a shirt
he managed to get Bolton
Wanderers Legend Stelios to sign
so it can take pride of place on
his wall.
Thanks to everyone who helps
us raise funds for the BWDA by
buying Golden Goal on a match
day and we hope a few more of
you will be winners before the
season is over!
Back on sale today throughout
the Lower concourse, Fanzone,
Hotel, outside the Club shop and
throughout the hospitality areas,
priced at just £1 could you be
going home with £500?
Don’t forget the fundraiser are
CASH ONLY. Thanks!

‘LOVE FOOTBALL. PROTECT THE GAME’
A message about anti-social and criminal behaviour
To mark the new season, we want to
make you aware of new measures
being taken across all of football
to ensure everyone can have a safe
and enjoyable experience. We are
supporting strong action from the
FA, Premier League and EFL to tackle
anti-social and criminal behaviours
that put all of us at risk.
This reflects the seriousness of
the risks to fans and staff – pyros
can burn at 2000 degrees Celsius
and cause lifechanging injuries,
while entering the pitch endangers
players, managers and match
officials.
We know those who commit these
illegal acts do not represent the
majority of supporters.

ON THE COVER
January signing Victor
Adeboyejo is pictured in
the 2014/15 season home kit
manufactured by Macron. He
is standing in the entrance to
the stand from the concourse

Stadium. To mark the 25-year
anniversary of football at our
current home, a different player
features on the majority of
programme covers this season
wearing a different home kit
worn since 1997 in a different
location in and around the
stadium.
