Bolton Wanderers FC

If you really have your heart set on implants, then I recommend Bolton.
Are Magicians, by definition, Wanderers?
First-​Hand Experience: Bolton have never been a team I loved, because they’re really just a suburban Manchester team and a smaller version of United and City. That all changed for me when they built the Reebok. It really launched them back into their glory years of the old days, and now having Lennon as manager too, they’re just such a relevant and vibrant team.
I’ve seen them play in person on many occasions, including an amazing match at the Reebok vs Arsenal. I have to give them a 4 just because they don’t always fill the Reebok which for me is very problematic. It should be full and if I lived in Bolton I’d make sure I contributed to the weekly attendance. Prices may be too high? I don’t know.
Bolton is a really great old classic team. Since they’re from a little town just NW of Manchester, they should really be irrelevant, shouldn’t they? Any other town-​near-​a-​city team is basically irrelevant. But Bolton never really has been. They’ve managed to punch above their weight for so long now, and it culminated in the building of what is one of the best stadiums in the UK. Formerly called The Reebok.
Every single review here (see below) are for the stadium, not the club, so Unilocal really needs to move them to the stadium review page, because they are totally out of place.
Anyway.
Bolton formed way back in 1874. They play in the second tier. They were one of the 12 clubs that originally founded the league. They currently have perhaps the best manager outside the Prem — Neil Lennon. So next season you can expect them to be promoted to the Prem, not even kidding.
Sadly out of 73 seasons in the top division, they have never won it. Hopefully they will get back to it one of these days, the stadium certainly deserves it. They have won the FA Cup 4 times, including 1958. They were League Cup runners up in 95 and 04.
Classic team with great support and best of luck to Neil Lennon.

The Macron Stadium is home to Bolton Wanderers, It is quite a nice stadium for a Championship side and quite modern being opened to the public in late 1997 and having Macron (sponsers) across one of the tiers, I do feel it would of been a nicer touch for the fans to write Wanderers or something of that nature, only being called the Macron Stadium since 2014 of course, being Called The Reebok Stadium between 1997 and 2014.
The stadium is also in a great location in Horwich, being in a large retail park and having a hotel what does serve nice drinks. The Retail Park is nice to go in for a meal after the game while traffic dies down around the stadium.
The Macron Stadium, is one of my favourite stadiums in the Sky Bet Championship and they even have a nice club store at the stadiums, just near the steps to get in from the retail park where club merchandise can be bought.
I did come here a few years ago when City played Bolton, it was quite a good game and I enjoyed the atmosphere but the view from where I was sat was not the best it could of been.
Considering it isn’t the best stadium in the world and other things mentioned, I give the Macron Stadium 3 stars.

Casual and hearty food at the pure bar café. It’s not the most delicate food (on flavour or health) but satisfying if comfort food is craved. The fish and chips was ok but the Mediterranean platter was delicious! Cappuccinos are great too. Also a good place to watch a nfl game

It’s a very nice stadium and to watch a football match as an away supporter for £15 is a real bargain considering that it is the Premier League and there are more expensive tickets in the leagues below, but the one thing I didn’t like was that I like lager with a dash of lemonade at the bottom, but the bar staff refused this stating that I would have to buy a pint of lager and the lemonade separate. Is it not to difficult just to put a splash of lemonade at the bottom and fill the rest of the plastic glass with lemonade? after all isn’t the customer meant to be right?
The staff serving behind the counter seemed pretty clueless!
The stadium is ideal for public transport users as the stadium is situated right near Horwich Parkway BR Station.

There really isn’t anything not to like about the Reebok Stadium. It’s wonderfully accessible being just off the motorway. The roads leading to it are wide and well signposted and within the space of a few minutes of leaving the motorway you’re in the car park and walking to the stadium. I’ve been to several matches there and always had a great time. I like the size of the stadium and it has a friendly feel about it, I wouldn’t hesitate in taking anyone there to watch a match. I’ve been to two other Premiership team stadiums, Anfield and Ewood Park, and I prefer the Reebok to either of those. All in all it’s a modern stadium with good facilities and seating and a great venue to go and experience a Premiership football match.

I’m a Bolton Wanderers fan, so feel free to completely dismiss these ramblings as utter whimsical fanboydery (apart from the self-​deprecating bits and world-​weariness).
Yessir, The Reebok Stadium is the home of my beloved Bolton Wanderers and, as new stadiums go, the facilities are pretty good. It’s very easy to get to for the travelling fan and there’s enough pubs in the area for a football to get drunk in.
That said, regardless of the weather, be warned — somehow, the people who designed the ground managed to create a pocket of the West Pennine Moors that has its own microclimate which equates into a biting, whipping wind that envelopes the outside of the stadium, leaving you walking from potentially glorious, sweltering sunshine, to sub-​zero in no time at all. Mercifully, when you get inside the ground, the wind vanishes.
It’s located next to the Middlebrook retail park — make of that what you will. Personally, I find it a bit soulless, but do appreciate the fact that I can buy everything I need for matchday within a 5 minute walk.
There’s also loads of events that go on at the ground (from vintage fairs, weddings, gigs and more) as well as the built-​on De Vere Whites hotel.
It’s hardly a traditional ground, but anyone yearning for the days when football stadiums smelled of urine, fag-​ends and surrounded by potential fire hazards, then you want your head testing.

The Reebok (as it’s known) was completed in 1997 and is the main home ground for the Bolton Wanderers. With a capacity of 28,723 it is one of the nicer stadiums in England. Its new and modern design includes a full covered roof, keeping almost every seat completely dry and out of the elements.
The stadium is easy to navigate around, weather it be grabbing a warm pie or cold beer, using the loos, or getting in and out of the stadium. The biggest issue here is currently the club that calls the Reebok home, but that’s all relative and doesn’t detour away from the stadium itself.

A great stadium for both football matches and other events.
I’ve been to a couple of games at The Reebok — both European matches, as it happens (how many other UK football followers can claim to have seen the mighty Bulgarian giants Locomotiv Plovdiv play live?!) — and I’ve been impressed with the facilities.
Our seats for the match were comfortable, and bearing in mind the size of the stadium I was pleasantly surprised by how good our view was; we were able to see everything that went on except, perhaps, for the very far end of the pitch.
Away from the match the food outlets, shop and other facilities all seemed excellent, and the stewards were helpful too.
The stadium is used for other events too, and is an excellent resource for the people who live here. All in all, a great facility.
