BOLTON WANDERERS - REEBOK STADIUM
GROUND
Away fans are housed in the two tiered South Stand at one end of the ground, where up to 5,000 supporters can be accommodated, although the normal allocation is nearer 3,000. The lower tier is shared with home supporters, but the upper tier is given entirely to away fans. Alex Smith adds; 'away fans should note that the bottom rows of the lower tier are not covered by the roof and therefore you may get wet if it rains'. Whilst Paul Kelly warns; 'the stewards at the Reebok can be a bit over zealous, often throwing out fans for little reason. My advice to away fans is do not even think about celebrating a goal by going further forward than the front row. They'll have you even if you're just on the bit of track behind the adverts. Also you may be told to sit down during the game, take heed and do so. Fans have been removed who persistently stand up during the game'.
PUBS
Always a pain in the arse getting a pint at a Bolton game, just as it was at Burnden Park. At the old ground there were pubs, but always "home fans only". Here it's a case of finding a pub.
From the M61, go past the stadium on your left, move into the right-hand filter lane and turn right at the traffic lights into Lostock Lane. Pass the Barnstormers pub ("home fans only") and The Bromilow Arms is on your your left.
Try the Middlebrook Tavern on the Middlebrook Retail Park, Old Orleans or the bar in the ten pin bowling alley - we're getting a bit desperate now!
GETTING THERE
M6 to Junction 29 and take the M65 towards Blackburn. Leave the M65 at junction two and join the M61 towards Manchester. Leave the M61 at junction 6. The ground is visible from this junction and is clearly signposted.
TRAIN
Horwich Parkway railway station serves the stadium, with regular trains from Bolton's main station. It is only a few minutes walk.
