One Wanderers Family
This is a family club - grandparents, parents and children together - and it stays that way because of how the overwhelming majority of you carry yourselves.
All we ask is that you tell us the moment the very small minority try to spoil it. That is what One Wanderers Family is for. Text or WhatsApp 07542 850 902 with the block, row and seat number if you can, speak to your nearest steward, or report it here through the club website. Discrimination of any kind can also be reported directly to Kick It Out. Every report is treated in strict confidence and every report is acted on.
See It. Report It. Stop It. Love Football, Protect The Game.
A reminder on pyros
A flare burns hot enough to take skin off. It goes off in a stand where children, older supporters and people who cannot breathe easily are sitting shoulder to shoulder with it and they have nowhere to go.
They are also illegal inside a football ground. Anyone caught with one faces arrest, a club ban and a football banning order. Where an incident meets the threshold for criminal action, the club will pursue it alongside Greater Manchester Police, without exception.
The same applies on the trains, where a single device takes a service out of use and strands hundreds of Wanderers who did nothing wrong.
Greater Manchester Police will have more officers than usual around the ground and at Horwich Parkway on Saturday. That is standard for a fixture of this size.
Accessibility
Your match day experience is important to Bolton Wanderers Football Club. Our aim is to deliver access and inclusion for all.
Disabilities are wide-ranging and not always visible; the emphasis on removing barriers to ensure accessibility to services and facilities has changed the focus to enable you, where possible, to come to a match independently here at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.
Should you have any further questions, please contact Daniel Scott, Disability Liaison Officer by calling 01204 328 888 or email dscott@bwfc.co.uk.

Whoever’s ball is closest to the middle after all 3 shots, wins either a signed BWFC shirt or ball or you can risk it all for an additional shot with the chance to win a £2,500 bathroom voucher.
