Supporter of the Year

You've all seen this knocking about and ignored it.

Lets be honest, theres dozens and dozens of lads on here who will piss all over the winner of this.  My vote personally would go with Marc, but does he honestly care 😂.

There are however a group of lads you've all seen at every home and away game, who would care about this, not only would they care, it would make their entire lives.

Lewis, Alfie, Freddie, Louie, Jude, Olly and Parker.

We've all seen them, thats a fact.  Every single home and away game.

Heres pictures of them at Ipswich, port vale, forest green, derby, barnsley, carlisle, longridge, accrington, morecambe, wembley, shrewsbury, fleetwood, sheff wed and Lincoln!

If we can drop an email to media@bwfc.co.uk  I honestly think as proper young kids travelling the length and bredth of the countery week in and week out they really deserve it.  Far more than some other campaigns out there.

Lewis, Alfie, Freddie, Louie, Jude, Olly and Parker.

Saw this on FB

What a great evening at the University of Bolton Stadium. Last night saw the first Supporter of the Season Award, which was sponsored by the Supporters’ Trust. 

The club and the trust have worked together to find a special kind of BWFC fan who not only represents our great club with passion and commitment, which is common to all committed Wanderers, but who goes the extra mile to make following the Wanderers as joyful and pleasurable an experience as possible. 

The start of the process was to invite nominations from all Wanderers fans for possible candidates for the award. Nearly 200 nominations were received with some names featuring several times. 

A panel comprising senior club and trust members faced the difficult task of selecting that one special supporter. And boy, the job was such a difficult one. 

Some amazing stories have been uncovered and all panel members were blown away by the levels of passion and commitment shown. 

However, one candidate stood out, and his name is Stephen James!

This guy has for many years, selflessly helped Wanderers fans across the globe to engage in their passion for our club. 

A lifelong Wanderer, Stephen has been the link for our fan base in Norway for years now. He organises many aspects of their regular trips to England to follow the Wanderers. He put himself at the disposal of one of the Norwegian supporters, Glenn, who this season made his very last visit to the Unibol whilst struggling with his Motor Neurone Disease and arranged for Glenn to meet Gethin who, as we know, recently lost his own mother to the same terrible disease. 

Stephen (Ste to those who know him) was also massively involved in helping the Latams with all aspects of their recent amazingly successful Wanderers pilgrimage. 

He designs, produces and sends Wanderers themed flags, shirts and scarves to the various Wanderers groups around the world - all at his own expense and without any desire for recognition. 

He continues to engage with Wanderers fan groups across the world, from the USA to Japan, from Norway to Argentina, and all this for no other reason than he is a Wanderer to the core and just wants to spread the word! 

So well done Ste - you deserve this award!

Thank you to all who nominated their favourites and we look forward to running the same again next season - a season where our fans have picked the kit! How’s that for fan engagement!

But Ste’s award doesn’t tell the whole story. 

The panel felt it only right to make specific mention of some of our super fans whose stories meant they were very close to winning the award themselves. 

Stories like that of Paul Rushton, a well known Wanderer who houses an extensive collection of BWFC memorabilia in his own home and has lent items to Bolton Museum. Paul also runs a weekly score prediction competition on his Facebook page which generates great engagement with so many fans.

Stories like that of Mark Torkington, who lives in Nottingham and despite not driving has attended every home and away game this season using public transport, a feat which perhaps deserves a separate award!

Stories like Lewis, Alfie, Freddie, Louie, Olly and Parker, a group of young lads who follow the Wanderers home and away and who feature regularly on social media posts on their travels watching the Whites. 

Stories like Taylor Jones, who despite losing his father to cancer last year and also recently being diagnosed with cancer himself, managed to overcome his immense problems to make it to Wembley for the Papa Johns Final win.

And who can forget the amazing story of the Latams whose first overseas trip from their home in Argentina included a Wembley trophy, a Bank Holiday visit to Exeter and a first “home” game at the Unibol. 

There were so many other great candidates - unfortunately too many to mention individually.

Fair enough 

Reading between the lines they've decided to award @Marc505 with a car for next season
