Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Not really. We have about as much marketing pull as Chelsea youth squad.

If we signed Rob Earnshaw we could tap into the Welsh market.

Does Nuggy know you have a thing about Earnshaw? With a face that only a mother could love, he must have something going for him. Is it in the trouser department given that Nuggy is widely reported to be a couple of inches short of a toothpick? Whatever it is, you definitely seem to be infatuated with RE.

Nuggy knows I am a free spirit. He got over the Dean Windass incident.

Ah. Dean Windass. You clearly don't pick 'em for their dashing good looks. As Wags go, you're obviously not shallow.

Not that much pull either!  Next year we will have to have players sew their own kits as part of their contracts.  If we bottom out into League One, the players will be serving halftime refreshments.

Hope they serve the halftime refreshments faster than the current crop of shite.

Yeah it's annoying we don't have as much global appeal as Chelsea but is anyone actually surprised by that fact?

Global appeal is all down to marketing the club and, to be fair, Wanderers backroom staff have never been any good at marketing the club in the UK, never mind anywhere else in the world.

Overseas fans are mainly, ie not every single one, fans who have moved abroad and told people about our club. You would be surprisd at how many people in Holland didn't know about Bolton as a club, even when we were in The Premier League, never mind our long established footballing history.

Our "Directors" get paid handsomly, for what?

dont forget the Euromillions lottery tomorrow - approx 160million quid jackpot!!!!

Win and buy me a drink!

I probabaly do more 'overseas marketing' for the wanderers than the club does. My 'local' has a Bolton flag over the front door, a BWFC clock and BWFC hat on the wall. I've brought more than 40 people to the Reebok and Burnden from the US and bought Bolton shirts for guys from Columbia, Costa rica, USA, Mexico, Chile and Argentina.
