HUNDREDS of excited youngsters and their parents partied the night away at the Junior Whites' Christmas Party held in the Premier Suite at the Reebok Stadium.
Wanderers manager, Sam Allardyce, and coach Sammy Lee made a special appearance - along with Father Christmas and Lofty the Lion.
Unfortunately players were unable to make an appearance as they were busy in training for the match against Wigan - but Big Sam did pass on an apology.
The Junior Whites were joined by members of the Bolton Evening News kidZONE club, who joined in with a disco - then danced the night away with local band, Bedheads.
Sam and Sammy took time out to sign autographs for the youngsters, who were aged up to 16.
Junior Whites programme manager, John Ashley, said: "It was a great night. There were about 800 youngsters there, aged up to 16, accompanied by their parents - so you can imagine the noise.
"Sam Allardyce and Sammy Lee got a warm reception and signed loads of autographs and I think all the youngsters enjoyed themselves."
The next Junior Whites' event will be a beach party on January 16 at 6.45pm in the Premier Suite at the Reebok Stadium.
