It was a bold move, but yesterday saw Bolton Wanderers play their first ever rugby league game when they travelled to the KCOM Stadium to play Super League side Hull FC.
Although many experts and observers expected an absolute pasting, possibly with even the score running into three digits, Wanderers adapted to their new sport pretty well, only losing 6-0 thanks to an unconverted try and a penalty goal. With maybe a bit more skill on the ball, Wanderers may have even managed to cross the touchline themselves and create a real upset.
Oh hang on, it was a football match. With Bolton Wanderers losing 6-0 to Hull City. What an embarrassment that was. It’s a wake-up call if anyone needed it that this side overall, is at the ability of nothing else other than a relegation battle. Will there be room for manoeuvre to improve the side over the course of the month? I’m sure we all know the answer…
