Having just trawled through a number of articles on the Bolton FC Official site there is no mention of the request for fans not to attend. Either it was not provided OR Bolton chose to ignore the request.
Just want to forget about the whole sorry event now but what we have to realise is that we are now playing at a level where there are certain clubs who really don't give a flying f**k about our club, current national health issues or sod all else other than winning football matches by whatever means it takes. BWFC are a prime example.
IF you read the Bolton forums many stated their intentions to be there come what may. No request from us would have stopped them. Unfortunately as it transpired they were supported in their illegal actions by both BWFC players, staff and directors. So be it. If you speak to other northern clubs fans you will discover a universal dislike of their club due to incidents over the years. Congratulations BWFC you've added a few more to the list.
What I'm truly glad about is that fans weren't allowed in on Saturday. Estimates suggest 4 to 5,000 Bolton fans would have been in the town on the day, obviously many without tickets. Mayhem would have ensued and we may have been talking about more serious incidents than a few drunken idiots gobbing off outside the ground.
Would have been nice to beat them on the pitch but it wasn't to be. We live to fight another day.
UTS.
