BOLTON Wanderers fans have confirmed they will be mounting a second protest against club owner Ken Anderson before Tuesday night’s game against Reading.

Thousands gathered outside the stadium before last Monday’s televised game against West Brom in a show of frustration at the way the club is being run.

After a ‘peaceful protest’ outside the stadium there were some isolated incidents of trouble during the game itself, including tennis balls being thrown on to the pitch.

Organisers of Tuesday night’s march have again called for sensible action and have asked those involved to meet at the Nat Lofthouse memorial statue at 7pm to begin a lap of the ground.

The statement, addressed to supporters, read: “Last Monday, we asked you to take part in a protest against owner Ken Anderson before the game against West Bromwich Albion.

“We asked you to voice your discontent by agreeing to meet at the Nat Lofthouse memorial statue from 7pm, before embarking upon a lap of the University of Bolton Stadium where other like-minded fans could freely join the march.

“It was absolutely incredible to see the amount of fellow fans that turned out for the protest, with an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 in attendance.

“We acknowledge there were unsavoury moments from a minority, but the actions of individuals are not reflective of a pre-planned protest which otherwise brought a great deal of exposure to our famous club.

“We are now asking you again to join us outside the ground - same time, same place, on Tuesday night for another peaceful protest prior to the match against Reading.

“We KNOW the protests aren’t going to force a change in ownership.

“We KNOW these protests are not going to be accepted by all.

“But we also KNOW our club cannot and will not be allowed to simply slip away.

“Hopefully we’ll see you again outside the ground on Tuesday night. Same time, same place.

“Whoever’s name is above the door “Whoever holds the key “They’ll never own our football club “It belongs to you and me.”
