Has anyone mentioned the weather? A mate of ours moved from the lower to the upper because he was fed up of getting pissed wet through on rainy days and blinded by the sun on sunny days. Both of which don't happen when you're under the roof on the upper. I'm not sure what it's like in the lower but I know the upper is frequented by lots of people who are "getting on a bit" who don't like to get rained on.

It's nothing to do with cost savings, according to the email... We have already received feedback from supporters with varying opinions of whether the club should relocate supporters from the upper tiers to the lower tiers in order to create a more compact atmosphere at future fixtures.

Yeah, keeping East Upper would be better, close the other 3. What is wrong with that as a solution?

The only way I can see this working - the people in the upper tier (like me) prefer the good view - we'll get this in Row Z of the lower tier, but these are probably already all taken by lower tier season tickets. They would have to have a clean slate and wipe ALL season ticket allocations including lower holders. Then give people choice of seat based on how long they have been a season ticket holder. I've had one 25 years - I should be able to decide to sit on the half way line at the back of the lower, even if someone is already there and has had a season ticket 3 years. Or more simply, close 3 of the 4 upper tiers. Keep the west upper open - seems an easy and cost effective solution.

Yeah, checked mine and it says I "bought" a season ticket on 9th September.

Auto-renewal, that's all I wanted to hear, great. Although 7 months instead of 10 so I bet the monthly payments are a couple of quid higher than they were, happy with that, I've had 5 months off paying £44.

Unfortunately, I'd like to be attending the UniBol not the Stadium of Light. My Oxford tickets say this! Each ticket has a single scan barcode\QR code admitting one entry to the Stadium of Light for the game purchased. Unauthorised duplication of any ticket will prevent your entry into the stadium.

Ok, so a lower tier capacity of 15,742. We got more than that 7 times last time in League One. And with cheaper season tickets potentially on the horizon, could be exceeding that a lot this year. So can't see how they could close the uppers permanently.

If anyone has more time than sense, you can go to the ticket website as though you are buying and click on every block and count the number of seats. Can still click on all the upper tiers even though they're greyed out. lower tier has 20 rows of seats all around. upper tier has 23 rows at the peak but less near the corners.

Does anyone know what the capacity of just the lower tier is? Looking at pictures like this, seems to be far more seats in the upper but it's difficult to tell really. Assuming a 50/50 split, would give a capacity around 14000. Last time we were in L1 we hit 22000, 23000, ... https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/bolton-wanderers/attendances/2016-2017

This tweet has caused a bit of an argument on twatter. Loads of people replying saying they should shut them this season. I really can't see that happening. If it did, then it would only be fair if the people who already had STs in the lower couldn't renew the same seat, otherwise all the uppers having to relocate would find the seats with the best views already taken. Would have to be a fresh allocation for everyone. BWFC Tickets @BWFC_Tickets Replying to @KevanLees At this stage, we're planning to keep the upper tiers open. However, this is subject to change pending any decision taken by our new owners.

To be honest, the DD will be spread over 6/7 months this time rather than 10, so it could likely be a very similar monthly payment to what we've had before.

Guess this means the Blackpool Sky game isn't covered, as that would be 18 games. Unless I've missed something - we've had 2 so far, 2 more in September, and Bury off. Out of 23 games leaves 18. Assuming Doncaster gets replayed - do we know that will happen?

The administrators report said £10,000 had already been spent printing the season tickets. Probably means the cards already produced with the side with the picture on, and your personal details get stamped onto the other.

One of advantage of selling ours later means we won't have to pay for the Bury game. Season ticket holders of all other L1 teams will have paid for that.

I think it's a waste of time and money if they send out the big glossy brochure to a lot of existing ST direct debit holders. Just needs an initial quick letter - your season ticket will auto-renew at XX per month over 9 months. Have a week to get back to them if you don't want it or want to change seat. Then they target the rest.

I hope they've kept all the details so it can just auto-renew if you want it to.

Last night's programme notes mentioned it will be lower tier only for the Oxford and Sunderland games - but it has also been rumoured STs go on sale before the Rotherham game. Not sure how this will work, renew your seat in the upper tier but it lets you into a random seat for those 2 games?

So, confirmation it's the kids again tonight. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/17877172.boltons-new-boss-keith-hill-gives-update-bradford-city-plans/ Not sure how we could get away with saying they weren't able to play Doncaster on a Tuesday 3 days after getting a 5-0 drubbing, yet this week, exactly the same situation, they miraculously can. Doncaster are not going to be happy! As for points deductions, the two unplayed games were in different seasons, so can they dish out the punishment for both in the same season? I would like to see the points deduction for Brentford taken off last seasons total post-humously.

I don't know who owns the land, but I've always thought it would be a good idea to have a path down the wasteland between the lanes on De Havilland Way with maybe a bridge then crossing at the stadium https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Macron+Stadium/@53.5800582,-2.5317742,489m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x487b09aab37003ad:0x4ea3dea69347d31c!8m2!3d53.5813723!4d-2.5369749 Getting dangerous walking back now as thousands walk on the road. Clear out that wasteland, get a decent walkway in with some stalls, burger vans. Proper approach to the stadium .

What about Connor Hall, would like to see him used as a sub a bit towards the ends of matches when we're 3 or 4 nil up, get a bit of experience from the 2 elder statesmen strikers we signed yesterday. Is he injured at the mo?

Quality day today. Now just need 4 wins to wipe away that minus sign and the season can begin...

"New car, caviar, four star daydream Think I'll buy me a football team" Seems even more apt today than last week

7, with Bunney all but confirmed and Wright/Murphy strong rumours

Verlinden, Bunney, Buckley, Crawford are all in their 20s. Bridcutt has only just turned 30
