  • There was a guy at the club who was very helpful. Told him the name I was looking for and he looked through the bricks with me. As it happened, I found it myself. Donโ€™t know his name but he was everyt

Ah didn't know.

Thought it was a bit lavish to be getting them all done :D

I suspect there is an element of corporate sponsorship involved with Hardscape. Well done to all involved though. ๐Ÿ‘

Pretty damning across the boardย

Just heard the fella from Reebok Joe Foster on radio manc news saying he has been asked for years by the public to connect back with Bolton and he says he would love to now they aren't owned by adidas any more and the message has been sent.ย 

It's mad what football does to your brain.ย I would absolutely cream myself if Reebok came back as stadium and shirt sponsor.

Reebok is on a par with the likes of Dunlop, Hi-Tech, and Slazenger these days

Set him a unit up at the macron! :)

Went to the opening of the exhibition ย  "Reebok and Norman Walsh: The Bolton History of the Running Shoe"ย exhibition in July.ย 

My dad (and another lurker on here ย ๐Ÿ˜Š) as Horwich Harrier VIPs were given a VIP invite (+1 ๐Ÿ˜Š)ย 

Great evening and another part of history which makes our town so special.

Despite the move to the USA the Fosters and the Reebok brand donโ€™t forget their roots - they are Bolton through and through.ย 
ย 

Itโ€™s a great exhibition by the way.ย

To be fair that's your opinion and in some ways understandable as we don't see the brand much anymore over here.

The fact is that Reebok was sold by Adidas for $2.5b only four years ago. It is however seen as an athletics brand not a footballing one. But it still dwarfs those other brands you mentioned.

I'll pop down.

There's no doubt that they're not the same anymore, plus they're made in Vietnam and China.ย 

Can't envisage a scenario where they could come back neither.

He'd have to buy the name for a start, and it might not be easy to get the quality association back.

He'd probably have to start again. At 90 years old, he's going to need plenty of help!

He means the Fosters owning the brand again

It's a massive missed opportunity for the town that the football club has no association at all with the global sportswear brand that was founded here. Hopefully something gets sorted.

Rebook workouts are rather popular amongst the naughty boy fraternity at the football. Or were a few years ago at least.

On a similar note I see Asics have made some mad resurgence and are all the rage now with younguns. They were for the dossers when I was at school.

They helped kill themselves as a football brand by releasing absolute dog shit like this
