Fans can pre-order tickets for collection by calling 0871 871 2932.

if your a bolton fan you go tomorrow. i went aldershot away relegation play offs. this is a piece of cake compared to that. it's not a surprise we have'nt sold out, nowt to do with megson just have a crap fan base. it's in our history. look it up. no megson when we sold about 12000 tickets for home tie semi final league cup. no gartside or megson when we were murdering the opposition with free flowing football with todd as manger 100 goals and 98 points. 13000 at some home matches. i could go on. yeah the football is shocking, but im a bolton fan so i go.west brom, derby etc put us to shame.
Not sure I buy into the attendances argument though. Lets face it West Brom & Derby have not got 6 other premiership clubs on their doorstep - one of which is Man Utd who are probably equivalent to two clubs attendance wise. Add to this the myriad of championship and lower league clubs in the same patch and I think we do OK. Could be better though.
Wigan coming up at a time when attendances have been fallin generally has not helped.

Jussi future to be resolved
Jaaskelainen set to depart Bolton
Jussi Jaaskelainen's future will be resolved shortly, his agent has confirmed, although he will almost certainly not be at Bolton.
The Finland shot-stopper has been at The Reebok Stadium for 11 years, playing over 300 times for The Trotters.
However, Jaaskelainen is now set to depart the club when his contract expires this summer, and his representative Peter Harrison has confirmed that Bolton have shown little interest in securing his future.
"We have had one round of talks with Bolton and that was some 12 months ago, since then we have heard nothing," Harrison told skysports.com.
Interest
Now a host of clubs are believed to be showing an interest with Middlesbrough the latest side strongly linked.
Tottenham, Aston Villa and West Ham all have a long-standing interest in the Finn, although clubs from Spain, Italy and Germany are also attracted by the promise of landing him as a free agent.
"There are several clubs showing an interest and we would expect a deal to be tied-up soon," Harrison added

25,000 tickets sold so far. (Sunderland have taken their full allocation). The above confirmed by ticket office just now. YOU HAVE UNTIL 7.30 TONIGHT, TELL YOUR MATES!!
When you state 25,000 tkts sold, is that counting the 3,500 Sunderland have sold?

I enjoy the banter, the atmosphere, seeing players like Cahill, Gardner, Al Habsi perform. Megson may be doing his best to ruin our team but so far he hasnt made me hate everything about the matches. If you havent been to any games since Anelka was sold how do you know what the games have been like???
Dont know which team Jon W has been watching if he has only seen one poor performance at home this season. I,ll be back when I see some ambition.The sale of Anelka and the Lisbon fasco were the final straws for me(yes I know you can only have ONE final straw but you get my point!)

We arent good enough. The manager is too negative. But I have been to all the home games this season and in the league we have been on the front foot for most games, we may have been poor v City and Fulham but certainly we were the better team in both games and the only team likely to score. If you think we werent trying to score in those games you plainly didnt go to them. I dont think I have said anything that anyone could disagree with - I have enjoyed watching most games at the Reebok this season because they have been close, well contested games, and we have tried to win most or all of them. If only we could just get Megson to pick our best players.

ive always said the reebok is a lifeless stadium, killing the enjoyment of football, but watching football itself has always been enjoyable. this season though its been worse than watching a sunday league side, certainly in terms of passion, but also skill
