Has anyone noticed these new signs

"Welcome to Bolton. The home of Bolton Wanderers Football Club"

Along with the clubs logo. 

Might have been up for a while but I noticed these the other day. 

Must admit I always thought Blackburn had the right idea as you go over the tops towards their place. Nice to see we've done something similar!

State of their writing ability I’d say there’s a good chance they already did that.

Perhaps theyre upset at the sign as Little Lever has the highest population of DMBs in Bolton?

Next door to Radcliffe. An unfortunate pink drift.

As in just up from the Wilton arms on Belmont Road , surely taking the piss

A freak of geography unfortunately. Blackburn boundary is closer than than expected.

Think its from when they annexed North Turton in 70"s. Old Bolton Water Works and Bolton Sailing Club now officially over the border.

Was it a freak of geography or a freak of a 1974 boundary change. Fairly sure Belmont, Lancs was an outpost of Bolton until Greater Manchester swallowed us up, administratively but missed Belmont and Edgworth to become Blackburn with Darwen outposts.

A boundary change would be one of geography then wouldn't it!

Just like the creation of Pakistsn, Iraq, East Germany (and subsequent removal) all changed boundaries.

Thanks for that.

No problem. 

Seemed like you struggle with the concept of geography.

I was pointing out a difference between historical township boundaries and those boundaries created for political reasons.
