Bolton Wanderers supporters attending the Lancashire derby against Blackpool this Saturday, 21 February, will witness a unique addition to the matchday programme. Professional football freestyler Jay Rosa visits the Toughsheet Community Stadium as part of his nationwide EFL Tour.
Rosa is currently attempting to perform at every stadium in the English Football League. His tour creates a spectacle for fans while driving a serious message about mental health. He supports Mind Charity through these appearances. He uses the platform of football to encourage open conversation and connection.
Where to Watch the Action
The schedule puts Jay in the thick of the fan atmosphere from midday.
- 12:45 PM: Catch the first set at the Leasing Options Fanzone.
- 1:00 PM: He moves to the area outside the Club Shop.
- 1:15 PM: Young fans can see him in the Family Stand North Upper.
- 1:45 PM: A stop at the Well Being Hub aligns directly with his tour’s mission.
- 2:15 PM: The pre-match tour concludes in the Boxoso Premier Suite FanZone.
Half-Time Entertainment
The performance moves pitchside at the interval. Jay will circle the ground accompanied by Lofty the Lion. This offers the full stadium a chance to see the technical skills that have taken him to over 70 grounds since January 2023.
This tour has already reached iconic venues such as Goodison Park and the Stadium of Light. Rosa aims to prove that football can heal as well as entertain.
"It’s about connection," Rosa states regarding the tour. "If showcasing my passion on the pitch helps even one person feel seen... then every mile is worth it."
