Away end tickets will be available on the day and there will be no increases for matchday purchases. Tickets are available for visiting Trotters supporters from the away ticket office next to the Bill Shankly Kop on Lowthorpe Road, with cash and card payments accepted, which will open from 1.30pm.
Away fans are housed in the modern Bill Shankly Kop at one end of the pitch. Normally the allocation for away fans is approximately half of this stand (3,000 seats). However for teams with a large away support, then the whole end can be allocated, raising the allocation to 6,000.

Interesting game today.
Will we continue our resilient away form or drop back into last season’s dire approach.
What team will we have?
I would love Oztumer to start but I doubt it.
I think it will be ultra-defensive and hope to grab something on the break.
My first away game of the season today so I hope we will come back happy.

I won't be at the game today as I'm in Leicester for a pre- arranged piss up but I will have my Bolton shirt on cheering from a far. Head says 2-1 win heart says 1-1 COYWM good luck to all wanderers fans across the world.

I honestly don't know what to expect today other than an ultra defensive start so no place again for Oz or Wildschut until we're chasing the game. I think it's too early for Doidge to start but I see him on the bench in case we're desperate. If our luck holds again we may get a point but if North End make one of their fast starts then we could be toast by half time. Definitely one for the "anything could happen" tray today but if I had to stick my neck out I'd go for 2-0 to Preston with at most 30% possession to Wanderers. Come on Parky, make me completely wrong, start an attacking team, look like you mean to win it and keep us near the top.

We have a goalscorer in our ranks, which gives me positivity and some hope. But you're right, he will be on the bench if at all. I love the idea if throwing him in and letting loose but realistically PP will have worked on his team all week and likely to be Magennis in one half and everyone else in the other.
In truth it's hard to see us being as bad at the back as we were lack week. It was just basic things not being done. So if Grounds is back then he needs to learn quickly what it's all about.
Expect a midfield of Lowe Murphy and Vela which always has the danger of being out played and our wide men are all enigmatic. If Ameobi,Noone or Wildschut turn up then it's game on. If they fade and we play Buckley it's hard to see us having a shot on target.
So hard to make a prediction until we see the team but no reason we can't win. Though home fans will be expecting a win.

The new striker we have is not even on the bench I can bet you Conner Hall will start and score for Accrington Stanley, what has this player been doing all month sitting on his arse doing nowt or playing for Forest Green ? Why do we never start with the players we sign ??

Halftime 2-2 I need a rest mate but I might squeeze in a short before the second half. In all honesty how do we really rate PP with his sit back and wait then he does seem to get us the points really is it all about points ?

BSA thinks so chip and I can't disagree. Finished 2-2. It faded off a little in the second half, but the improvements are there to see. I would have put Ollie on in the second half, 'cos I think we needed a ball player. We are scoring goals, which is more than can be said of this time last year.
Hopefully, whites and Ooom can have a happy international break, or can they?
Credit to Pedro for filling the away end with his adverts. If I was KA, I'd put him in charge of sales and promotions> lol
Where's Joanna? Vacation?

Well, after quarter of an hour, I’d certainly have settled for that! Nevertheless, I’m a bit disappointed we couldn’t snatch the winner against a mediocre Preston. Two gifted goals ( one each) helped to give the impression of an exciting game. In truth, it was one in which mistakes loomed largest. Our defence played well after the calamitous start, though Alnwick flapped at too many crosses for the good of my heart. Josh lumbered around up top without really contributing much and Wildschut again flattered to deceive. For me, Williams had an excellent debut and if we can just get Parky to play only one of Lowe and O’Neil in order to make space for Oztumer, we might actually have the beginnings of a functioning midfield ( ie one that is not scared of possession and can pass).
All that said, huge well done to Parky and the team. To go into the international break in 6th position is pretty damned good! I hope everyone on the site has a good break from watching. I think we could be in for an interesting ride this season!
