How much extra business did it generate? The fact that they made another after sly says it must have worked. And no they are clearly not big wanderers fans? That's why were sponsored by ROK mobile, Fibrelec and flirted with QuickQuid. Want nothing to do with us. Can't make them support us but should be off the bloody board

I really have to wonder why we spent millions on that crappy new screen, which i've yet to hear a good word about when we could have spent the money on...like paying the bloody tax man. Shocking really. I think I could do a week by week bullet point on calamities that this club has made in the last 7 years or so. Not quite millions in fact more like £50000 the money came from the fund raising group and as such has restrictions placed on it ,hope you now understand .

It appears that if you have a spare eleven grand you can purchase a lithograph print of LS Lowry's 'Going To The Match' Pity BWFC don't have any type of Burnden Park copyright, they could have made a fortune and help keep the club afloat.

Yup Owdonlad. My understanding is that the money raised from the lotteries can only be spent on infrastructure projects. e.g The screen, academy, buildings etc. Guess that where we got the money to sign the planks we have in the squad.

Well, I'm proud our University is trying to help now, last year we helped put hundreds of thousands into the kitty with the Fibrlec sponsorship, more recently we paid for some pitch side and in ground TV advertising (which I really don't think is value for money with the megre amount of time it's on) and today we got an all staff email saying free tickets for any staff or students for the 19th Dec vs Fulham with free light refreshments. That must be putting a few bob in the kitty If we can get an extra couple of hundred if not maybe a 1000 in the crowd surely it'll add to what should already be a great atmosphere.

Well HMRC have issued the dreaded winding up order.
How much bleaker can it get.
Does Eddie Davies just sit back and watch us go into administration? How could he have been the owner and sat back and watched us not pay the tax man??
STRUGGLING Wanderers have received a devastating blow in the form of a winding up petition from HMRC.
The club has confirmed it has received the petition, which has been issued because of an unpaid tax bill of around £600,000 and further raises the prospect of Whites choosing to go into voluntary administration and accepting a 12 point deduction.
A club spokesman said: "Bolton Wanderers can confirm that the club has now received a winding up petition from HMRC in respect of unpaid PAYE and VAT for the month of November.
"Despite requests from the club to HMRC to give it further time to either conclude a sale or raise additional funds, HMRC has proceeded with due process and duly served a petition."
The club is now seeking short-term funding options in order to pay the bill, which include the potential sale or lease of the Whites hotel and office buildings at the Macron, where more than 300 staff are still unsure whether or not they will be paid before Christmas.
Trevor Birch, advisor to the board and owner at Bolton Wanderers, said: “Quite clearly the club remains in a critical financial position. We will continue to try and finalise a sale or alternatively raise some short term funds needed to give the club a breathing space and time in which to consider its options.” Promoted stories
The petition will now be advertised publicly in the next few days — and The Bolton News understands a High Court hearing has been scheduled for January 18.

I heard £2M at the time and the club expected to recoup most of that(god knows how) and no I still don't understand why a cash strapped club would spend any money on a screen when they had one in good working condition. I'm not sure what I would have spent it on but i'm sure there were better options. Who's decision was it? and could they not have "relaxed" the rules on what it can and can't be spent on. Surprised Phil didn't use it for his own helicopter pad.

All around the ReeMac!!! Keough's, AO.Com. Jones Homes, Emerson Group, Scan Computers, Franking Sense, Warburtons, Peel Holdings.. With hindsight, or foresight, can't make me mind up, there'll be thousands and thousands of new homes built all around the ReeMac, from the Loco Works to Botany Bay, Buckshaw Village to Farnworth, a new bus and rail terminal in the centre, with some of the best new colleges and Universities to leave neighbouring towns full of envy. Also, f anyone's had a drive around Cutacre, Westhoughton recently, you'll notice thee largest industrial estate being constructed for the likes of Aldi, Amazon, MBDA etc, so there's plenty of activity around Lancashire and Gtr Manchester for years to come and therefore a brighter future and plenty for the next generation to look forward to. It would be a devastating blow if our wonderful Wanderers had no part to play in the next generation. It's looking more and more likely that the great 'White Elephant' could be an interfering blot on the Lancashire/Manchester landscape as it'll either be hosting lower league football or be demolished for more new homes !!!

Starting to feel like that bad joke Q."How do you keep an idiot (Bolton fan) in suspense?" A. Tell you tomorrow.
What is going on? It must have been 5 weeks since we learned that the club was to be sold, I know there are lots of things to sort out but on several occasions i've heard that we will find out more in the days to come. At one point Dean Holdsworth brought his gang of cockneys and that an announcement was going to be coming shortly.
Lead to believe the Stelios bid is off, but there was mention of 4 bids. Not expecting an hourly update but a little bit more information might not be so bad. So far all we've had to go for is Dean Holdsworth twitter pictures.

I think we need to be patient and hope - this written on way to Charlton where I'm very unlikely to heed own advice

Interesting that a new company, Sports Shield BWFC Limited, was created on December 9th.

Stelios bid involved flotation on Canadian stock markets - that reportedly was unacceptable. Deano and Thai bids theoretically still live? But neither has so far come up with the dosh presumably ??
