Readers of The Bolton News have made suggestions as the naming rights for the home of Bolton Wanderers are set to be sold off.

The stadium is due to be known by its fourth different name since it was opened as the Reebok Stadium in 1997.

Since then, the iconic Horwich stadium has also been called the Macron Stadium, and its current guise - the University of Bolton Stadium, or UniBol for short.

Upon hearing that the stadium's name will once again be subject of a bidding war, Boltonians have had their say as to how they would like to see it named.

Bolton Wanderers partner with Sporting Group International to rename UniBol

Many people say they still call it the Reebok Stadium, regardless of its multiple names since those days.

One said: "Always the Reebok, no matter what name it gets it will still be Reebok to us locals."

Another suggested: "Lets just call it Bolton Wanderers Football Stadium and be done with it."

There were a couple of suggestions for local pasty favourites Carr's to have its name attached to the stadium. including the "Carr's Pasty Stadium", or the "Carr's Pasty Dome".

There is also a school of thought that would have the stadium named after Wanderer's legend Nat Lofthouse.

Other mentions include the "Middlebrook Stadium", and the less serious suggestions of "Goaly McGoalface".
