The town of Bolton only benefits in/around the stadium, as away fans either go straight to/from the stadium, or they go on the lash in Manchester and spend their money there instead. So, the benefit of the PL to Bolton, is very limited.

I hope the board are happy, Phil and his fellow bean-counters really did mis a trick moving us near Wigan......

I know. Fancy moving us away from that renowned tourist trap, Bolton town centre.

It will be sticks of Rock this and Donkey that!

Living and working in Blackpool, the place is buzzing at the moment, my office is on the parade route and the gathering crowd is quite a sight in Tangerine. Most of them are glory hunters mind who were no doubt wearing Rag shirts last week but its impressive all the same

Best bite I managed, I'm starting to realise TW isn't the best place for a wind-up, unless Sir Nut is about, obviously!

Holloway is starting to sound a bit of a prat!

Holloway warns: Get ready for a scrap with my working class heroes

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Bl ... 38283.html

"These lads are going to play somewhere they deserve to be, in the Premier League, because they are top-class human beings. I want to thanks every one of them for what they have given me." etc, etc, etc ........

Thought it was quite funny in the post match interviews. After splashing all across the News that the match was worth £90m and being obviously delighted that they'd won it, telling the whole world they weren't going to make any players millionaires and they wanted to keep them all hungry. Whilst I hear the sentiment, that must've delighted the boys.

Why?

The guy has a personality, and he's done very well. He knows its likely there won't be much to crow about next season so he's enjoying it whilst he can.

Good on him I say!

Wind up people round Bolton town centre?

Sounds a bit risky to me!

Didn't Oyston promise them something like a £5m bonus between them for getting promoted? Of course, it was never going to happen..........

If he brings his dad to the Reebok match then we need to not have the Reebok Rebels around that day.

Holloway will be good fun & quite refreshing ... till we get bored with him. For now, enjoy him. He won't be in post in 12m time ... either sacked, resigned or .... in the unliokely event that things go well ... done an Owen Coyle on them.

Cynical ? Moi ?? ... I'm beginning to think Sir Nit may have a point.

OK, that moment of crisis has now passed. Phew !!

Just a thought, but Bolton have a player on the edge of leaving who's originally from Blackpool if I remember correctly ... one Gavin McCann. Though a Bolton fan, due to his fathers alliegance, he runs a football acadamy in Blackpool and lives in Lytham.

Could be a good option for both.

I think he's a blackpool fan actually. Sure I've heard that ITK somewhere anywhere. Would be a decent signing for them.

Not sure who Gav supports, but his dad is a big Bolton fan for definite.
