Re: planning ahead...
I don't watch live TV football (free or paid) unless it's my team or an international game of interest (San Marino away to Moldova tickles me more than Germany v France, but I'm just warped I suppose). Even Match Of The Day rarely gets watched now, only if there's some really big thing happened ( 4 ...

Re: planning ahead...
I guess no-one had us as table-toppers (not even us). So what was simply a derby of purely local interest now has greater significance. To be honest I've long wondered about some of these 3rd division games shown live and pondered how many people other than the involved fans take any notice at all....

Bury (A) Moved once, moved again.
From breakfast time on the Saturday now to Monday evening the 24th Oct thanks to Sky. So any exiles that's bought those cheap advance rail tickets for specific trains when they read the game was originally 12noon Sat have been shafted (again). I suppose the argument is that most fans are local, but ...

Re: EFL/Sherpa Vans/Vauxhall Motors/Johnstone Paints draw
Speaking of the Sherpa Van Trophy, did anyone else call Stuart Storer "Shinners" or did I imagine the whole thing. Just you, mate ;) Stuart Storer, blimey. He'd fit into our ugly XI. Up there with Beardsley and Wheater. Can we get a 1 to 11 of ugly Wanderers all in their correct positions? I bet we...

Re: Blades to boycott over ridiculous ticket prices!
I saw this this morning and the prices are jaw-dropping. Bolton need every fan they can get, home and away, and we're talking third division.

Re: Blades to boycott over ridiculous ticket prices!
Just an additional thought - could those Cat A games attract Sky for live coverage, thus hitting the gate even further? Dunno if the opening game is on TV (has it been decided yet??) but there are a couple there which are local derbies that may be of interest.

Re: Sports Shield - New Owners (Probably)
Would anyone in their right mind who isn't seriously loaded consider buying a season ticket? I hope those that do use credit cards, so when - and it's looking more like when than if - the club folds their money's safe??
Are any bookies offering odds that Bolton won't start the season??
