Wanderers take on Luton Town on Saturday afternoon in the final fixture before the play-offs.
After a hard-fought point at Bradford and results in midweek, the Whites have third place well within their own hands.
If you're joining us on Saturday, then here is everything you need to know...

Lap of Appreciation
Our supporters have played a large role in the campaign, travelling the country in numbers, filling away ends and creating the atmosphere that has carried the team into the play-off places.
Saturday provides an opportunity for the players to acknowledge that support.
At full-time, the squad and their families will complete a lap of appreciation around the pitch to thank supporters for their backing across the season.
Matchday Buses will leave 30 minutes after full time, rather than 15 minutes after, to allow fans to stay for the lap of appreciation.
The club wants supporters to share that moment together, so the pitch must remain clear for the lap to take place.
Entering the field of play is a criminal offence. Anyone who goes onto the pitch risks arrest, prosecution, a football banning order and a criminal record. These outcomes affect future attendance at matches and may impact employment or education.
Pyrotechnics remain illegal inside football grounds. Flares and smoke bombs present clear danger in packed stands and place surrounding supporters at risk.
Throwing objects inside a stadium carries equal danger. A single item launched into a crowd can cause injury to supporters, players, stewards or staff.
Courts across the country have issued multi-year football banning orders this season for offences including pitch incursions and the use of pyrotechnics.
Bolton Wanderers will enforce the club’s Fan Sanction Policy where incidents occur.
Supporters who witness unsafe or abusive behaviour can report it through the following routes:
TEXT: 07542850902 (include block, row and seat where possible)
EMAIL: safeguarding@bwfc.co.uk
IN-STADIUM: Speak with your nearest steward
All reports remain confidential.
Saturday closes the league programme and our attention turns quickly to the play-offs.
The support inside the Toughsheet Community Stadium has carried the team through decisive moments this season. The players speak about it often and that backing will be needed again in the matches ahead.
Remain in the stands. Let the players have the pitch for the lap of appreciation with their families.
Matchday Buses
Matchday Buses will leave 30 minutes after full time, rather than 15 minutes after, to allow fans to stay for the lap of appreciation.

Love Football. Protect the Game.
With the 2025/26 League One season entering its final and most decisive phase, Bolton Wanderers Football Club is urging the Wanderers faithful to get behind the team as the club makes its push for promotion.
The atmosphere generated inside the Toughsheet Community Stadium this season has been a factor in results on the pitch. The players know it. The management know it. And that backing matters more than ever.
This is a club that has worked hard to get to this point and a fanbase that has matched that effort week after week. We want every one of those remaining home fixtures to feel like the occasion it deserves to be.
With that in mind, we must address a number of conduct issues that have arisen during recent matches. These involve a small minority of supporters and they are raised here because we will not allow them to undermine what the rest of us are building towards.
Pyrotechnics and smoke bombs
Devices of this kind have appeared in the stadium this season. Possession and use of a pyrotechnic device at a football match is a criminal offence and individuals found with one face arrest and prosecution. The physical risk in a packed stand is serious. Stewards and medical staff have to respond immediately when a device is lit, diverting attention away from the crowd at the worst possible moment.
The FA also imposes fines on clubs where pyrotechnics are used. Those fines are a direct cost to Bolton Wanderers, money that belongs the football club and nowhere else.
Throwing of objects
The same standards apply. A thrown object is uncontrolled the moment it leaves a hand and the person it strikes is a fellow supporter, a child or a member of staff. It will be treated with full seriousness under the club's Fan Sanction Policy.
Abuse of staff and colleagues
A number of incidents have involved verbal and physical abuse directed at club staff. These people are part of the Bolton Wanderers family in exactly the same way as the supporters in the seats. The club operates a zero-tolerance approach on this, without exception. Anyone found responsible faces sanctions in line with our policy and where incidents meet the threshold for criminal action, the club will work alongside Greater Manchester Police to pursue it.
Report it
If you witness pyro use, missile throwing or any abuse of staff or supporters, please report it.
TEXT: 07542850902 (please include block, row, and seat number where possible)
EMAIL: safeguarding@bwfc.co.uk
IN-STADIUM: Speak to your nearest steward. All reports are treated in strict confidence.
The club's full Fan Sanction Policy is available on the official website.
Bolton Wanderers is a family club. Grandparents, parents and children together, willing Steven Schumacher’s men forward. That is what we are and that is what we protect.
Now it is time to make some noise. Back this squad. Back Steven Schumacher. The Toughsheet has been our twelfth man this season and these players need it louder than ever across these final fixtures.
Promotion is within reach. Let's go and get it together.
One Club, One Community, One Town
