They need to put their own season tickets on sale first!
It will either be the week before, pay on the gate or the fixture won't even go ahead!

We think it's a mess at CCFC
BWFC in serious threat of liquidation next week.
If they survive you can see them being relegated two years on the trot and out of the league system.

The chances of the game being on are thinner than a thin thing.

Hope they can sort things out. Real chance they don't exist very soon.

That’s what worries me. Don’t want to see it happen to any club.
I’m guessing they haven’t put match tickets on sale either?
No tickets on sale, cant sign players, no safety certificate can be issued for the ground.

Yeah. It doesn’t sound great at all. A lot of their fans (just reading their forum) seem quite upbeat. Obviously, a lot seem pretty miserable too!
I don’t know what’s going on with their takeover though? Anybody got a clue?
The company who agreed the takeover are waiting on the hotel as part of the deal. The hotel has a separate set of administrators and isn't quite as easy to agree a deal. If they cant get the hotel the deal is off

It seems to hinge on whether the entity buying the club can complete a deal for the Bolton Whites Hotel first. It looks like it will go right to the wire and I suspect the Bolton fans are clinging onto hope in total desperation at present. I think Bury are also in some serious bother at present too, being threatened with expulsion unless they can prove they'll pay-off their footballing creditors.

Ah, I read something about the hotel. Bloody hell, what a mess.

Why is the hotel essential? I get that, similar to our situation, any owner would want to maximise revenue, but the potential new owners seem happy to le the club go to the wall if the hotel isn't included. Shouldn't that set off alarm bells about them?

I don't know to be honest, i haven't read enough about it. Perhaps they feel the hotel is essential to whatever business model they have but would a hotel really be that important to the successful running of a football club? I have a bad feeling that Bolton have more years of mismanagement ahead of them.

They are business men, not football men, it's all about assets and a business case, and nothing to do with kicking a bag of wind around for 90 minutes on a saturday afternoon.
You could complain that these people aren't good for football, but there isn't exactly a queue of other investors waiting in the wings, and time is running out!

Except their fans might be singing "sisu IN!"

Was it Bolton who had Paul Appleton as the administrator?

Yeah, think so. That has no bearing though, he does what he has to do as an administrator, just as he did when it was CCFC.

I am guessing that the income from the hotel underpins their business case for their backers

Genuine question - given that their big issue seems to be lack of money, how is it helping them to NOT be putting tickets on sale???
Very sad to see a club in this amount of strife. Whilst I have no particular affinity for them, they were the oppo in the very first game of football I ever saw when I was 8 years old (they looked like Luton in an yellowy-orange away kit). They've clearly over-stretched themselves over many years, but so did money clubs including ourselves. Hope they get themselves sorted, even if they have to "do a Rangers" in order to do so.

I guess it’s the uncertainty to fixtures being played. Ticket money also would probably be a drop in the ocean for their money troubles right now.
Either way, if they do sort it out with 7 senior players and no pre season and a minus 12 points start I would think league 2 is almost certain

Thing that hasn’t helped us that the Bolton players have went on ‘strike’ to not play in front of fans but have happily played behind the doors games. That won’t help when it comes to selling season tickets whenever they go on

Think i read something about the money would go to the present owner/Administrator if sold now, so the new owners won't allow them to be sold until they take over so they get the money.
