New ownership is on the horizon at Bolton Wanderers, raising hope for the future – but what about the short term?
Every effort is being made behind the scenes to secure vital investment, and the indications are that at least three strong candidates have come forward.
The fans can only sit, wait, and keep faith that the next owners will be able to restore the stability Wanderers have lost in recent years.
But on the pitch the situation is just as urgent.
Neil Lennon’s team sit bottom of the Championship, the squad looks bereft of confidence, and there is a real danger they could be cut adrift before any potential takeover has a chance to take effect.
And it is here that the supporters can make a difference.
On Monday night Wanderers host Brentford in a game that will be beamed around the world by the Sky Sports cameras.
Someone somewhere will be watching the team of which they are about to take ownership.
This is the perfect time to show what a fantastic club they are buying into?
Prices for the game have been slashed considerably – to £15 for an adult and £5 for over-65, under-23s and under-18s.
The club makes very little – around £67,000 – from the game being televised and though away supporters will also be able to purchase reduced tickets, the inconvenience of 211-mile trip on a Monday night will hit numbers hard.
Lennon and his players have to shoulder their portion of the responsibility.
The manager has been backed to the hilt by fans who appreciate the constraints he has been working under – and players have also been given incredible support home and away, considering a record of just one win in 17 games.
By showing Wanderers their support the fans can give them the best possible shot of three points on Monday night.
The club needs bums on seats, the players need everyone to get behind them from the first whistle. One win could make the world of difference.
For a number of years people had fallen out of love with Wanderers because they did not agree with the way it was being run, or the people running it.
No one can ever doubt the great support they have received regardless of those differences, and it can get even stronger.
This great football club cannot be allowed to drift any further towards oblivion.
It is time everyone stood together.
n Tickets can be purchased in person at Bolton Central, over the phone on 0844 871 2932 or via the club’s website.
