    Facts n stats
    Peter Kay, Vernon Kay and Danny Kay are all from Bolton.
    Fred Dibnah too.
    Bolton have won four FA Cups and have spent the longest in the top division without winning it.
    Boltonians are said to be the friendliest in the country.

    Perm any 11 from 18 or so today. Someone on here said Tymon and Lenihan are going to play. Maybe. Odubajo and Robbo could do with a rest. Lenihan looked good t'other week for the ressies.
    I'm always positive but things are shaping up nicely for the play offs. Seems a renenwed sense of quiet confidence within the team.

    Jako in goal again?

    Jakupovic

    Lenihan Dawson Davies Tymon

    Elmo Hudd Hayden Maloney

    Diomande Akpom

    Could be completely wrong. I think Diomande needs more games than anyone to get him going.

    Regulation 2-0 win to City.

    They're playing for places in the playoffs.

    It'll be another cup team. I can actually see Chazz's team above being the one.

    Regulation 0-4 to us.

    Facts and stats, man, people want facts and stats...

    Robert Whitehead was the great-grandfather of the von Trapp kids from The Sound of Music and he developed the first effective self-propelled naval torpedo.

    John Harwood invented the self-winding watch.

    Bolton is the largest town in Britain.

    The ship closest to RMS Titanic as she sank, the SS Californian and the first ship to come to the aid of the Titanic, the RMS Carpathia were both Captained by people from Bolton.

    Bolton Wanderers have spent 73 seasons in the top division of the English league. That’s the longest any English team’s stayed in the top division without ever actually winning the league.

    Reebok, was founded in Holcombe Brook, a small village just six miles north east of Bolton in 1890 where they drove nails though shoes to make the first running spikes. The company was originally called J.W. Foster and Sons, changing to Reebok in 1958, after Joseph’s grandsons Joe and Jeff found the name in a dictionary won in a running race by Joe Foster as a boy.

    Boltonians are officially the friendliest people in Britain

    Bolton was originally called Snapon, until a court case by a tool supplier.

    Bolton has one of the top mountain rescue teams in the country - despite not having any mountains.

    The most famous quote in British sporting history was uttered by a Bolton commentator. When England won the World Cup in 1966 it was Farnworth-born Kenneth Wolstenholme who uttered the immortal words "There's some people on the pitch. They think it's all over...it is now."



    Peter Kay's dad was the match commentator for our game against Bolton.

    I expect Maguire to start, I'd quite to see him move to the left with Dawson on the right, to see how they get on.

    I'm with Happy. Regulation 4 nowt stroll.

    When I say "with him" I don't mean "with him". I couldn't ever be "with" a man who can't stick a concrete post in.

    Is this a euphemism?

    Or are you literally dissing a man's fence erecting prowess?



    3-1 to us BTW.

    I wanted to play one of those in the school band, but they gave it to the fat kid.

    Now here's a stat for you

    The Tigers have had more (215) and faced fewer (140) shots on target than any other side in the division.
