Apparently never played for them. Turns out he was a masseur for England under Capello because he spoke Italian.claretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 10:52 amDid he score against us for Orient ? Seeing his name makes me think that for some weird reason

Re: Pre season
Don't think he played for Orient. In his post playing days, he worked for Sam Allardyce at both Bolton & Newcastle.claretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 10:52 amDid he score against us for Orient ? Seeing his name makes me think that for some weird reason

Very near the stadium used for the 1967 European Cup Final and a rather charmless prison .

Re: Pre season
Training camp sounds likely, maybe mid June. Could be quite a different pre season this year. Probably taking ideas from his Man City days.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 8:46 pmTraining camp in Portugal but most of pre season behind closed doors. I hadn’t heard Bolton, just that there was likely to be one pre season away game for fans to attend.
Re: Pre season
Bolton pre season friendly
Re: Pre season
Or maybe not. Bolton have changed it. Sent by a BWFC mate. Showing Bamber Bridge away. Unless that's a youth team. Confusing.

I presume both clubs named further up are the clubs.

Re: Pre season
Just think,10 years from now , we to can dream of playing teams of such quality, until then I suppose we'll have to endure international tours and friendlies.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2023 4:27 pmBolton have confirmed four first team friendlies today against Bamber Bridge, Curzon Ashton, Chester & Salford.

It’s Marc Iles so it will be bang on but Bolton have just announced those other games today with no mention of anything else.

Re: Pre season
Our game on the image above says 8th July. In that Marc Iles article it says the end of July.
Think someone might have got confused?

Re: Pre season
Bumped into someone on holiday connected with the club. They mentioned training camp in Portugal, no games. However returning to Portugal for a game. They only had those rough outline details. Nothing concrete yet.

Re: Pre season
On the new Bee hole end podcast today, one of the guys mentioned the squad going to a pre pre season trip to Portugal not long after FA Cup final for 10 days, then having 10 days off then back to the training ground for full pre season

Re: Pre season
I’ve posted this a couple of times. We are going to Portugal in June for a pre-pre-season training camp. The players then have another break of ten days before pre-season starts.123EasyasBFC wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2023 5:44 pmOn the new Bee hole end podcast today, one of the guys mentioned the squad going to a pre pre season trip to Portugal not long after FA Cup final for 10 days, then having 10 days off then back to the training ground for full pre season
It’s because of the abnormally long period from the Cardiff game to the first game of next season. We will be going back to Portugal again during pre-season.

Re: Pre season
Hoping what I have been told (above) is true. Imagine announcements will be made in the next two weeks.1989_claret wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 10:45 amI believe we will be playing a friendly in Portugal either Saturday 22nd or Sunday 23rd July. Hopefully it is open for fans to fly out and enjoy a weekend and take a game in and not behind closed doors. No idea when it will be announced though.

I think it’s a brilliant idea, especially for any early new signings and for the likes of foster, obafemi and Ekdal who only came in JanClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2023 6:08 pmI’ve posted this a couple of times.

Re: Pre season
It's a shame there isn't a game abroad that supporters cannot attend. Most Premier League clubs have high profile games all over the world. I don't buy the secret tactics thing, we surprised the Championship last season but VK is hardly going to revert to Sean's 4 4 2. The Club has bonded with supporters over the last year and should keep up the could the good work with an attractive away friendly. Not Horwich

Re: Pre season
So all games are "behind closed doors" so far?
Shame, I loved the games in Ireland. 2018 I did the Ring of Kerry with family before then went to Cork for the game. Was cracking weather and a great trip.

Fortunately our club let the manager decide our pre season schedule
