Bolton website says tickets on sale - presumably to home fans - but you need to register on line. I'll be phoning soon to see if I can get away tickets for disabled supporters.

Are you sure? Nothing on their main website and the ticketing site lists no events.

Tickets need to go on sale tomorrow morning at the latest to Bolton fans. Postage deadline will be Wednesday I'd have thought, so you'd potentially be looking at thousands collecting on the day and/or large numbers paying cash on the gate. There is print at home I suppose, but it all seems a bit unlikely.

It's all about money I guess. Any revenues generated ahead of the takeover would go to the administrator and wouldn't all the creditors have a claim against that income? I'm sure the new owners would want a postponement so they can collect the revenues from this fixture at a later date, or they would have to complete the takeover in the next 24 hours max.

Does anyone know what this is?:facepalm:
If you do well you get more points and are higher in the graph, if you do worse you get fewer points and are lower in the graph. You are more likely to beat teams lower in the table than higher in the table.

In essence it's completely pointless as you can learn the same from looking at the league table.

3-0 Cov. 2000 SBA seeing as it will be a last minute thing.

It will be a good time to play them and I shall be there!

no news on anything Bury related since they called off the Accrington match, must be desperate as a Bury fan at the minute...

edited - I think this is the wrong thread! DOH.

But no Bolton haven't signed any more yet either

As Bolton played their first game on Saturday to postpone this one would be unfair on us. Could they be made to play it behind closed doors if they can't get the necessary people in to manage the game? Still would need a police presence I guess.

Team wise I'd be happy enough if we started same again. Maybe Hyam could come in for Rose but we kept a clean sheet so would be harsh to change it. Looking forward to seeing Allen but again it would arguably be a bit harsh to drop any of the midfield. If he were brought in I think it'd be Shipley who made way.

You'd hope wih Bolton's current situation we should win it, but again I can see us wasting chances and it being a nervy affair. I'll go 2-0 to us with the second coming deep in injury time.

EDIT: Now we've signed Godden I expect him to replace Baka. I'll keep my prediction but I'm feeling more confident of us scoring now. If we do manage to get a couple with a bit of time to go I can see us getting a few more. Would be good for the goal difference if we could.

2 players injured after first game. Left back and striker both out for several weeks.

I don't see why we should be punished with the game being behind closed doors.

Would be shocking

So do you think it would be better for the game to be postponed and played when they've potentially got a bigger and better squad, which would also mean an extra fixture to add in later on putting us at a disadvantage in terms of recovery times? As its an away game the loss of income for us would be minimal.

When you say 'we' should be punished I'm assuming your saying the fans being able to watch the game rather the club, but for me a better chance at three points over the chance to watch the game.
