I agree. Many people who live in the 'Bolton area' probably live as close to Old Trafford as they do to the Breezeblock, which is closer to Wigan than Bolton. There's load of people in Blackburn who glory hunted toward the likes of Manchester and Liverpool, so it's surely worse in Bolton, given how much closer it is to Manchester. Bolton has also lost much of its identity in recent years as a town in its own right, instead being part of 'Greater Manchester'. I think that probably makes it difficult to attract younger fans. As you say, our two clubs have had similar sized attendances over the decades until quite recently. They have good owners and a good pricing strategy. We have terrible owners and a poorer pricing strategy, which isn't the worst in the league, but it's not as good as theirs.

I was too busy excitedly finding my favourite "all things Rovers related" gif/jif thingy to even notice the error

Not many teams have to patch up the starting 11 and bench BEFORE the hectic Christmas schedule. We play better away from home, but this one screams of being a stinker for us.

This Rovers lineup… I’m not sure I like the looks of it. I guess it’s the best Ismael can do.

When I saw you’d quoted me I thought you’d be pointing out my error which I was trying to hide with an edit 😁😁 (Atcheson also played)

Wrexham.

Some s****houses in that Wrexham team ..... not least Moore, O'Brien, McClean And with Hyam there too the immutable law of the ex will come into play Our team will not be able to stand up to that lot Wrexham 4 Rovers 0

Atcheson - also CB or?

He's a lying bastard.

and if they could have had their way, he wouldn't be here anymore either But everything is normal, nothing to see here etc etc

Bolton Metropolitan Borough is, the town itself isn’t considerably bigger. Majority of our fanbase now resides in other boroughs regardless. We and Bolton have been similarly supported for a long time..until they got new owners.

Pears is the only one in the line up who started the FA Cup tie vs Wrexham less than two years ago.

I think the only person whose missed more Rovers games this season than some of the players is Elliott Jackson ! Where is he again today, another wedding?

Another honking matchday squad but what can you expect, a summer of neglect was always leading to this and the "injury crisis" excuses will be in full swing in a week or two. Not looking forward to the next couple of weeks at all.

Rovers TV if you are abroad. Very Possible Nipping abroad and buying a match day pass will work.

The absolute state of our bench! That's a 15 yrs of Venkys bench if ever I've seen one Not sure we've bottomed out yet either the fucking dirty wretches

From behind the sofa. (It's not on UK TV so there's no official way of watching. Can't comment on unofficial ways)

Bolton has almost double the population of Blackburn.

Hopefully my withering criticism will enact the reverse curse and Forshaw will in fact have a stormer and lead us to victory. It's the Championship so you never know.

Rovers website Venice is Particularly Nice at this time of year

Well TGH and Montgomery didnt work at all so more open to see how Forshaw does. Henricksson and De Neve will give a bit of energy later in the game, and we will persist with Gueye because we have nothing else. Baradji will get another run out without really showing anything so far. But thats it really.... On paper should be an easy win for Wrexham but hoping for another surprise away result.

Exactly that.
