Bolton Wanderers have offered free coach travel to those supporters attending games in the smog enveloped badlands of Middlesbrough and Sunderland. The usual conditions apply.
There can be no smoking or drinking and you`re not allowed to be under sixteen. Fans will be required to show their match ticket when:
a) Booking
b) Boarding the coach in Bolton
c) Boarding the coach in Middlesbrough/Sunderland
Points a) and b) presume that fans would want to go to the North East for a reason other than football. It`s hard to think of one. Point c) is to deter escapees from those areas.
In addition, supporters must promise to be nice to the manager. Anyone singing naughty songs like they did at Tottenham will get their legs slapped by Fans Liason Officer, Tony Kelly. The preferred chant is ‘Gary Megson, You`re lovely, You`re lovely.` Start practising immediately.
It`s hard to sing through gritted teeth isn`t it?
The official blurb is here.
