Bolton Wanderers’ Development Association has helped fund the first-team squad’s training camp at Loughborough University this week.

Ian Evatt’s side have been based in the East Midlands over the past few days and have used the facilities at a campus that is well known for being a leader in the sporting field.

The trip has in part been supported by the BWDA through money raised by those who back Lifeline, Goldline, Golden Gamble and the Instant Win Scratch Tickets.

Evatt said: “It has been very important for us to get away as a group at this stage of the pre-season.

 “The lads have worked really hard and benefitted from the tremendous facilities at Loughborough.

 “These lotteries play a massive role in allowing us to invest in very important projects. I would like to thank every member, agent and supporter who takes part in these lotteries. We are one club, one community and one town and your continuing support will help us to rebuild Bolton Wanderers.”

Over the past 40 years the BWDA ha raised millions of pounds to support the club with important projects including the training dome at Lostock.

 Bolton Wanderers chairman Sharon Brittan said: “We must never underestimate the support the Bolton Wanderers Development Association provides for our football club.

 “Over the years, they have contributed to so many important projects that have not only benefitted the first team, but have also improved facilities for our supporters too.

 “I am so grateful to all the Lifeline and Goldline members and agents and I would urge those who aren’t already members to consider signing up so that together we can all contribute to the success and renaissance of Bolton Wanderers Football Club.”
