DavidLeesMullet Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 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
Rudy Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 We’ve been in Horwich since 97 and it wasn’t funny then Quote
Underpants Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 As pisstakes go its a bit lame. It's also a bit sad that someone has gone to the effort in setting it up. Quote
Good Knee Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 What would happen to Manchester United the only games they plain Manchester were at Maine Rd when OT got bombed. Quote
Duck Egg Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Horwich is in Bolton. Same as Beswick is in Manchester. Salford though... Quote
tomski Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Reminds me of an adult running with a 6 year olds idea that he’d called in the playground. Good one Quote
Horwich Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Supposed to be an adult from Mansfield Can’t remember his name Quote

To be fair they used to play at the Velodrome car park before they moved to Stretford (not Salford). Quote
Ghana White Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I take the persons obsession with us as a compliment.. love pathetic stuff like this, we're in league two and still matter enough for other fans to do crap like this.. keep it coming Quote
Pablo Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 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

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
