EVERY Tuesday and Friday the Bolton Wanderers Supporters’ Trust will be detailing all their

latest events in a special diary for The Bolton News to keep the fans informed of what they are doing.

EX-WANDERERS star Nathan Blake has warned the new Supporters’ Trust their takeover attempt will not be without its problems.

The former striker is has been on the board at fan-owned Newport County and is currently working with the League Two club’s community trust.

He sent a message of support to the BWFCST, which has now moved beyond 6,000 members, and admits the club might have to take a step back before it moves forward.

“I’ve experienced this first hand at Newport and I’m here to tell you, it isn’t easy. Slowly but surely we have built the club up, from the kids playing at junior level to older fans playing walking football and now I can see signs of progress.

“Newport hasn’t got the size or history of Bolton. It is a fantastic opportunity for the people there to make a difference but what I learned here is that you have to concentrate your efforts in the right areas, or otherwise it can be an uphill struggle.

“You need to make sure that people know what you are doing and why you are doing it. You can’t rely 100 per cent on volunteers and you have to have the right structure, with enough people there to do the job.

“I think people in Bolton are realistic and that they know it might get worse before it gets better. But if you take the pain, the reward feels better.

“With no debts and a clean sheet it can be done. You just have to stick together.”

Meanwhile, the Trust is also investigating payment options for membership and examining how similar operations at Portsmouth and Hearts have gone about things.
