Your Verdict
With regards to Stayaway fans, I think that they should stay away because
the team and Sam should know that the fans who do spend their hard earned
cash following them do so, week in and week out - and are more passionate
about the team than those who pick or choose their games. more...
As a season ticket holder at the Reebok and Burnden since 1978, I am probably what Sam would call a loyal fan. more...
I
think that it is true there was a little disappointment (missing out on
Europe despite being well placed for a long period) and uncertainty (Sam
seemed likely to leave at a number of points)
which did make fans think a little about renewing season tickets. more...

To the whingeing, moaning, missing fans, giving every conceivable excuse possible. more...
It was a shame to see so many empty seats at the recent home game against
Tottenham but not a surprise. more...
I will always have a season ticket and attend the majority of games, but I
can understand why some fans are now choosing to stay away. more...
As a former Boltonian, I'm pleased to say my wife & I (residing in Johanesburg, South Africa for the last 10 years), will be catching our first live game finally at the Reebok, for the Boro game. more...
I would just like to say, I'm not sure at all about the size of our squad especially if Campo gets injured. more...
