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.

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.

Official Matchday Bus Service

The official matchday bus service is in operation for this league fixture. Please note that standard timetables apply to ensure you reach the stadium safely for kick-off.

Sink Your Shot

We will have the Sink Your Shot half-time game. There will be two brave contestants talking part in the “Boss Your Bathroom Challenge”!

Now think of this as footballs twist on curling or bowls, whichever you fancy. The rules are simple:  the contestants will each take turns to kick the ball onto the plughole cover. The goal? To get as close as possible!

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.

 

Together Against Racism

Bolton Wanderers is proud to support the EFL's Together Against Racism campaign, taking place from 16-26 October 2026 with the Club marking the campaign during its fixture against Middlesbrough on Friday 23rd October.

Wanderers' players will players will warm up in dedicated t-shirts supporting the campaign ahead of the Sky Bet Championship clash, live on TV.

The campaign unites the EFL and all 72 Clubs in challenging racism wherever it occurs and reinforces the message that racism has no place in football, online or within our communities.  

At Wanderers, we remain committed to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome, valued and able to enjoy football free from racism and all forms of discrimination.

A key focus of this season's Together Against Racism campaign is encouraging supporters to report racism directly to Clubs as soon as it happens. Evidence from across the EFL shows that early reporting gives Clubs, stewards and authorities the best opportunity to identify offenders and take action.  

Last season, 63% of live racism incidents reported directly to Clubs resulted in an individual being identified and action being taken, making direct reports more than twice as effective as incidents reported after a match. Almost nine in every 10 successful identifications came from reports made directly to Clubs on matchday.  

Paul Holliday, Group Head of Communications and Marketing, said: 

"Everyone at Wanderers is proud to support Together Against Racism and stand alongside Clubs across the EFL in sending a clear message that racism will not be tolerated.

The strength and power of football lies in its ability to unite people and create a sense of belonging but that can only happen when everyone feels respected and welcome. Reporting incidents of racism plays an important role in helping us achieve that. 

If you witness racism, we urge you to report it immediately through the Club’s reporting channels or to a steward.  Your report can make a real difference, helping us investigate concerns, take appropriate action and create a better matchday experience for all our supporters."

If you do see any behaviour that needs reporting, there are multiple ways to do so: 

  • Text: 07542 850902 (please include block, row, and seat number where possible).
  • Email: safeguarding@bwfc.co.uk
  • In-Stadium: Alert your nearest steward immediately. All reports will be treated with the strictest confidence.

For other ways of reporting racist or discriminatory behaviour, please use: https://www.kickitout.org/report or https://www.efl.com/inclusion/report-discrimination

Together, we can ensure football remains a place where everyone belongs.
