Re: Looking for info
Can't see many of the residents around that area wanting to sell up and that would have also have cost a lot of capital.
Or is that also a load of baloney?

It is till you get on the motorway then its a breeze.Lord Kangana wrote:Attendances have been consistently higher at the Bok than Burnden.
I think the argument is that they could have been higher with a more central location. I see the merit of the argument, but then you could equally argue that the Reebok has attracted a larger crowd from the West of Bolton and perhaps parts of Wigan, Chorley etc etc.
Its completely unprovable.
Traffic is a bitch though.
I can't imagine 20 thousand plus crowds in the centre of Bolton being any better in regards to traffic!

Re: Looking for info
To be honest, despite the shenanigans with regards to directors not opening it to bidders, I think it was the easiest option for them to move it to Horwich. Burnden wasn't a big enough area to fit something the size of the Reebok on (with all the added infrastructure), and I know Caps mentioned the Greyhound track, but I don't think that was either.
I just wish they'd build another exit either further up Chorley New Road (where GM Waste used to be) or a direct slip road on to the motorway. The former is more achievable. Simply because, and I believe I've mentioned this before, the traffic is a bastard.

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Its not the shortest thats for sure. But once you're on the motorway you're clear of the traffic. Rather than sitting in a queue for longer!Lord Kangana wrote:Its not the quickest way to north Bolton etc.

Re: Looking for info
I got that pissed off with the traffic I've started using the bus service, for £1.50 return its great, but usually the missus drops me and the old man off, and we get the bus back for a quid
When they are ready to leave the coppers stop the traffic and the buses sail through

Aye the buses are great.. Which is one of the reasons why I'm baffled that people moan about the accessibility of the ground

And my bus gets me home over an hour after the final whistle
The car takes 45 minutes from said whistle
And when you're on the bus, you're sat with bus wankers
And Mannerheim, what the bollocks are you doing using the motorway
Get parked off Chorley New, nearer to Horwich than The Beehive..up to Chorley Old and its game on
