THE Bolton Wanderers Supporters’ Trust has announced it will hold its elections during March and April – with interested parties encouraged to stand for election.

Registration is now open for anyone who wishes to become a candidate – but they must register as a trust member by February 14.

Open registration then runs from February 17 to March 16 for members who wish to stand for election.

Those who wish to vote in the elections must register by March 9. Ballot packs will be issued from March 23 with voting closing on April 6. Results will be announced on April 15.

Current board members Terrence Rigby and Maggie Tetlow will stand down but could seek re-election. As a result, four places on the board are now up for grabs.

A statement read: “If they decide to leave the board, they leave with the massive thanks of the members for the time, effort and passion for BWFC displayed over recent years, especially through the troubled period leading up to and including the administration process.”

It added: “An independent and responsible Trust can only help in securing the stability and sustainability of our beloved club and it is hoped that the new board members will be able to bring new ideas as to how such an aim can be achieved.

“It is therefore hoped that as many members as possible will seriously consider standing for election to the board.”
