WANDERERS will hope a bit of treble-winning luck rubs off from the latest addition to the Toughsheet Stadium.

Groundstaff have been able to secure new goalposts for the new campaign, previously owned by Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League winning Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola’s Blues replace their goals at the Etihad every season, which sparks a scramble from clubs up and down the land looking to pick up a bargain.

Around 80 per cent of Premier League clubs are supplied with their goals by Suffolk-based Harrod Sports, whose top-of-the-range equipment costs more than £10,000 plus VAT a go.

Wanderers have some good connections behind the scenes at City and have managed to secure their new posts in time for the season opener against Lincoln City on Saturday.

Ian Evatt is looking to add more goals to his side this season – and would be delighted if he could follow City’s incredible haul of 60 in just 19 Premier League games last term.

But both the Blues and Bolton have also shown that success can be built from the back – and Guardiola’s side conceded just 33 times, keeping a divisional high 13 clean sheets.

Wanderers also topped the defensive tables and though Evatt does want to see his team develop a sharper cutting edge, he does not want to surrender that solid base.

“When you start to work on attacking, finishing and final third stuff, you can lose a bit of what you are defensively and out of possession,” he explained. “We are trying to layer up and improve the team without losing the foundations of what we have built, and sometimes that is a challenging thing. But I do think some of our structure and decision making in the final third is a lot better now.

“We seem to have created a lot more in pre-season and it is great to see the goals going in. It is also positive for me that other people are scoring goals because this season, regardless of our expectations of the centre forwards, we are going to have to share the goals around the team to do what we want to achieve.”
