Bolton play at the fantastic Reebok Stadium which has been their home since 1997, so the Pie thought it would take a look around. The Bolton Wanderers club badge shows the initials of the club in the shape of a ball, with red and blue ribbons beneath. The ribbons controversially replaced the red rose of Lancashire following the club's move to the Reebok….traitors!
The site of the old Burnden Park ground is now home to Englands first terroist training camp, weekends start from just £50.
Wanderers’ mascot is an 8ft Lion called Lofty, named after the Eastenders character, the hapless "Lofty" Holloway who went on to marry miserable Michelle Fowler.
Top celebrity fans include former Blue Peter presenter Stu (“ooh I could crush a grape”) Francis, DJ and Telly man Vernon (“I’m from Bolton”) Kay and local entrepreneur and average 5-a-side footballer Gareth Cooke.
The Pie continues it's journey next week with a visit to some fantastic new places....be sure to check back to see where the pie ends up next!
