Wanderers' fan Craig Palmer is making a dash across the world in the hope of seeing his beloved team in action on Sunday.

The 25-year-old adventurer will fly back from New Zealand to London on Saturday - but he doesn't have a ticket for the vital Premiership clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Now his mum, Jean Palmer of Briggs Fold Road, Egerton, is appealing for anyone with a spare ticket for the game to help her son.

Craig was a Wanderers' season ticket holder before setting off on his trip of a lifetime which has taken him to Thailand, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.

Now he is planning a break in his tour in the hope of watching Bolton Wanderers retain Premiership status.

Anyone who can help can contact Craig's brother, Gareth, on Bolton 301333 or Jean on Bolton 431032.
