Wanderers are aiming to leave Burnden Park with all guns blazing.

They have switched their final home game against Charlton Athletic to a Friday night fixture to ensure they will have all their international stars available.

And the April 25 game will see Wanderers fans back on the Embankment when the curtain comes down on 101 years of football at the famous old stadium.

Charlton have agreed to take a reduced allocation of spaces for their supporters enabling Wanderers to give the Embankment back to Bolton fans for what is certain to be an emotional night.

Wanderers would have had to postpone the Saturday, April 26 game anyway with the likes of John McGinlay, John Sheridan, Gerry Taggart and Per Frandsen involved in World Cup games the following week. Switching to Friday night means the international players will not be hit by the five-day call-up.

Burnden chief executive Des McBain said: "We are grateful for Charlton's co-operation and would also thank them for readily giving up around 2,500 visiting spectator spaces on the night.

"They have agreed to take just the 250 seats in the visitors' section which means we will be able to accommodate more of our own supporters on what will be a very emotional evening."

Wanderers aim to finally get round to playing staging their twice-postponed Lancashire FA Youth Cup first round tie against Everton on Tuesday, February 18 (ko 7pm).
