DavidLeesMullet 43 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Some twat on change.org has got a petition up to change the name of the club from Bolton Wanderers to Horwich United, just because the ground is nearer to Horwich than Bolton. As wind-ups go this is a pretty good one, local rivals being mischievous perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pablo 236 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Well Horwich councilors are after moving 'Horwich' into Chorley, so that would actually mean that no pro footy team would be in Bolton at all.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just checked an OS map and everything aye, according to this, the ground is in Lostock/Bolton, middlebrook is in horwich I reckon they adjusted the border when they built the ground to ensure the ground was still in Bolton, as I doubt it would have cut through like that when it was all green fields Quote Link to post Share on other sites
