Letter: Giving up season ticket to take a stand

With a heavy heart I have decided to cancel my season ticket for the Macron Stadium on what is a very sad day for me.

I felt I was left with no other course of action given the conflicting statements coming from the mouths of Messrs Anderson and Holdsworth.

The final nail in the coffin, so to speak, was Ken Anderson saying his funding for the club was "ready and waiting" but had not been required to date.

Is the transfer embargo imposed upon Bolton Wanderers a figment of my imagination or does it actually mean we cannot sign players until our financial situation is resolved properly and to the satisfaction of the League?

I, along with many fans of the club, was left bemused by the club's decision to get rid of several promising young players ahead of the appointment of a manager.

Surely those sorts of decisions should properly be taken after consultation between the owners and the manager and not unilaterally by the chairman.

When a legend of the club, in the form of John McGinlay, expresses real concern about the goings on at the Macron it is time to sit up and take notice.

I will, in all probability, be in attendance at the Macron come August but I felt my small, and probably unnoticed, protest against the way the current owners are running the club and the general lack of transparency needed to be made.

The funding of the club at present and the behaviour of the owners should be giving Peter Kay food for thought for another of his superb comedy programmes.

What an utter twat.

John McGinlay might have been a great player for BWFC but he knows fuck all about big business - not sure why his opinion carries any weight.

We're better off without the likes of Ian Holland and all the other negative twats, and if only one good thing comes from this mess it'll be the loss of these bellends.

Cutting your nose off to spite your face comes to mind.

So everyone moaning about this would rather not see BWFC play at all than sit somewhere else and watch the game.

I understand both sides on this but I think it is ludicrous to fuck it all off than just have a moan and still be able to watch the lads play.

It's time for a holiday. This thread has nothing to do with seats.

I demand you resign.

Haha yes! Not sure why I posted that in this thread!

Mmm, could Mr Holland possibly be a member of the ST writing under a pseudonym? No, perish the thought, I'm sure that well known font of journalistic competence called the Bolton News wouldn't dream of acting as a mouthpiece for a single viewpoint or single group in such a way. Would they?

I've given up paying attention to Iles and the rest of those incompetent butt kissing twonks. Anything bad about Anderson and Holdsworth hits the paper in a millisecond. Anything the steering group does is wonderful and perfect.

As to Mr Holland, well, I failed to renew my ST once under Megson but I'm pretty sure the BN didn't make it a headline event.
