It's 125 years since these two Lancashire founder members first played professional league football. I will no doubt be on my own in hoping that the two score lines this season are a repeat of the 1888-89 season (4-3 and 4-1 both to the Clarets).

What a shame it is that this very special anniversary is going to be somewhat spoilt by Sky and an early kick off.  There should really be a full house on t'Turf for this special event but in reality there'll probably only be 15,000 on.

Turf Moor is one of only three grounds still used to this day from that first league season, and yes I can hear some Bolton fans saying that the Cricket Field End where they will be housed is the original stand from 1888. Let me tell you that it isn't, it used to be a slag heap. Very Happy 

The pre season games seemed to have been polar opposites for the two clubs, Burnley have enjoyed their's and Bolton haven't. I personally don't take any notice of these games and Bolton will be a different beast come saturday.

As someone looking in through the window I would say that Bolton have strengthened over the close season whereas Burnley have got like for like in, but maybe with more hunger than before. Baptiste, Tierney and Beckford are very good players at this level and newly signed opposition forwards ALWAYS score against us. So lump it on Beckford to score.

This fixture mirrors last seasons fixture only in terms of it being the first game of the season, other than that it will be a very different game with a different atmosphere. The Irn Bru drinking villain has gone so the home support won't be as noisy or maybe as intimidating to the players (Turf Moor is at its best when there's a villain or an ex bastard player knocking about).

With most games the battle is won or lost in midfield and last season was no exception. Bolton's midfield surprisingly melted and McCann and Marney were truly dominant. It won't be like that this time round and I expect a right battle royale.

Burnley v Bolton Wanderers a reet Lancashire tradition.

Not confidant at all on this game, I'd snap your hand off for a point now, it could get embarrassing , Austin will score.

2-0 Burnley.

Never predict scores for my own side so not starting now, I'd be happy with a point though.

Id play - 

Bogdan

Baptiste Wheater Knight Tierney

Pratley Medo

Hall Eagles Lee

Sordell


Sordell's been a bright spot in pre season so deserves a start, Hall Eagles and Lee are interchangeable so hopefully they'll swap positions should they be getting no luck. 

Holden and Beckford to come off the bench depending on the situation.

Maybe we should play Andrews just to stoke the atmos up a bit but to be honest he isn't popular at the Reebok either. We know what to expect this time and hopefully won't be suffering any hangover from last season so I am expecting a hard fought, close contest with the Whites to shade it with a little bit more quality in midfield and up top.

Didn't go last season but will be there on Saturday COYWM.

I'm exactly the same and I never bet on a game involving Burnley.

Never even touched us on the old pools.

Not sure if that is the match preview you promised us or just a warm up for it - but either way it is a cracking little opener for our season and I thank you for it.

I don't usually do the prediction stuff but knowing Bolton and that we have a question mark about midfield after Spearing went back to Liverpool - will Holden play or not - and defence -I simply don't rate Knight or Wheater - then I'd be happy to start our season with a point.

(Hope Coyle's Wigan gets stuffed though!).

What do you mean promised? I realised that in my joking post that I'd put my foot right in it. Very Happy 

I could give you more but it would revolve more around Burnley rather than Bolton and I don't think that your members on here would want to read that.

I wonder if we'll get a defender in on loan before the game ?

Has that Nixon mentioned anything ?

 Just that we can't even afford wages for a one year deal for moritz.

And we seem to be the only team takin these new financial rules seriously, using it as an excuse someone said

Has Garrp (nearly Garyp is that Very Happy ) been looking at my team sheet?

Can someone please tell him that he's got two Wallace's down and that Shackell is the left sided centreback (post 46) thanks.

Looking forward to it Copper or at least as much as I can look forward to standing on a slag heap for a couple of hours. Towards the end of last season I'd have really fancied us to stuff you any day but without Dawson, Spearing and the improved Alonso the lads stepping in will have to step up if we are to get anything from the game.

The Sparta Rotterdam fans were quite complimentary about our ground, I'll have you know.

They were taken aback by the wooden seats but they put it down to the place having history and character. Very Happy

More likely.
