THE BOARDROOM NEIL HART HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF BOLTON STADIUM FOR OUR FIRST OF THREE HOME GAMES IN JUST EIGHT DAYS. The week ahead is indicative of what an incredibly busy time it’s recently been for the Wanderers. Amongst the raft of League fixtures, so many of us also took that memorable trip to Wembley at the start of this month for what proved to be a triumphant high for the club as Ian and his players secured the club’s first cup win in 34 years. I want to take the opportunity to thank the tens of thousands of you who journeyed to the national stadium to back the team and be part of that incredible day. And your outstanding support has continued into the weeks since, with 14,358 already signed up for season tickets for the 2023/34 campaign. This number exceeded all our expectations – there are now already more season ticket holders for the 2023/24 season by mid- April than there are for the current season as a whole! It shows how far forward we continue to move as a club and the fantastic buzz there is about the place. We know that great support will continue as Ian and his team fight for their play-off spot and we hope to see you turn out in your numbers for both the Accrington and the Fleetwood fixtures. The noise and the energy that comes from the stands here at the stadium when they are filled with fans is powerful and really does make the difference. Aside from the football, we recently published our 2021/22 Accounts and were pleased to report increased revenues and shareholder investment. Our objective was to compete at the top end of League One this season and through diligent and careful financial decision making, we have achieved that, and we look ahead with confidence to what the club can continue to accomplish together. We have also been recently nominated for two EFL Awards in the Diversity and Fan Engagement categories. The Diversity nomination is for the fantastic Unity Festival – an event we are honoured to host here at Bolton Wanderers. For the initiative to be held up as a beacon of inclusivity is well deserved and I extend our congratulations to Bolton Wanderers in the Community who play such an integral role in making it happen every year. Our nomination in the Fan Engagement category covers the Memorandum of Understanding now in place with the Bolton Wanderers Supporters’ Trust, the Pick Our Kits survey and the digital Supporter Survey 2023, amongst other initiatives. We place great value on our relationship with our supporters, and open and honest communication with the club’s fanbase is at the very top of our agenda. To see this work recognised is something we are also very proud of. The future of the matchday bus service is a good example of where open and honest dialogue with supporters has helped us going forward. Following consultation and feedback, I can confirm we will continue to provide matchday buses, that we remain in discussions with Tyrers and we hope to bring this to a conclusion in the coming weeks. We will offer a bus service that meets the needs of those who need it most and that works economically for all parties. With the strength on the pitch, the communication lines we now have in place between club and supporters and the incredible backing already in place for the coming season, the future looks bright for Bolton Wanderers. It feels, without doubt, that this proud, historical club is back on the map and once again showing what it is capable of. Long may it continue. Enjoy the game, Neil www.bwfc.co.uk The Wanderer | 7
