BRILLIANT that Bolton got promotion and fantastic to see all you fans celebrating on the pitch after the sold out final match.

The question is where were you all during the season when the club was dangerously close to bankruptcy, when players went unpaid and staff didn't know from one week to another whether they'd have a job the next week?

A core of 16,000 to 17,000 fans supported the team every home game but where were the other 7,000 who showed up for Sunday's glory game all season?

The club faces a winding up petition for its unpaid loan to Blu Marble with a High Court date set for May 22 and if placed into administration presumably will start next season in the Championship on -12 points. With half the squad out of contract next month how many will be looking elsewhere for better job security?

Maybe some of this might have been avoided had those absent 7,000 showed up through the whole season and not just on Sunday. You all know who are and you should hang your heads in shame!
