Wanderers fans have seen their Christmas schedule turned upside down after their home game with Derby County was selected for television coverage.
Sky Sports will screen the match – which will now be played on December 27 at 3pm – meaning there will be NO Boxing Day football at the University of Bolton Stadium this year.
As a result, the game at Lincoln City initially slated for December 29 will be played on December 30, with a 7.45pm kick-off.
And that means Bolton will also move their away game at Barnsley, initially planned for New Year’s Day, to January 2, with a 3pm kick-off.
It will be the first time that Wanderers have not had a fixture on Boxing Day OR New Year’s Day since the turn of the millennium.
