::::::::::::::Headline News:::::::::::::::
Bolton Wanderers, the once famous Lancashire football club have today closed their doors as a football club for the very last time.
Following successive relegations, the club that once rubbed shoulders with the mighty Bayern Munich and Athlerico Madrid in Europe and also had countless victories over English clubs Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea in the Premier League whilst boasting some of the continents elite players such as Youri Djorkaef, Fernando Hierro, Jay Jay Okocha and Nicholas Anelka, now find themselves with no money, no chairman and now no ground. The owners of the B&M Bargains Stadium have refused to allow the Rymans Unibond Conference club the use of the ground as they have ran out of money.
The Bolton manager, ex Wanderer Dave Felgate spoke of his sadness at the demise of this proud club but as they sit languishing at the foot of the league could only comment that after a season of struggle and his inability to bring in any new players, he couldn't see any resolution to the problems at the club. Felgate and his assistant Dean Crombie had only been in charge of the club for 3 months after the man once described as the clubs saviour, Dean Holdsworth, was found guilty for match fixing and was sentenced to two years imprisonment.
There had been indications that the B&M Stadium, which once housed 25000 in its opening match between the Wanderers and Everton in 1997, would be sold off to developers wishing to extend on the current housing site at the Horwich Loco works, The Rivington Heights Phase. If planning approval is secured, Orbit/Peel/Emerson have clarified that the sale of the land, which houses the stadium will be sold to Persimmon Homes, David Wilson Homes and Taylor Wimpey.
As the majority of the Wanderers players are out of contract, they are free to find new clubs but Jason Marshall, the young prospect signed from Southport will command a fee due to his age.
These are sad times for the people of Bolton and for those who have seen the trials and tribulations of the mighty Trotters over the decades, will hope that the final game last week in which the Wanderers beat Coventry Town 1-0 is not the final game and that the Wanderers can somehow find a saviour
