Bolton FC Facts
Bolton Wanderers FC Crest
Bolton FC has a long tradition in English football that dates back 135 years. The club was founded in 1874 by Reverend Jon Farrall Wright as Christ Church FC. Three years later however, the club was renamed as Bolton Wanderers FC. The name Wanderers came from the team’s lack of a home field in their early days. It was not until 1881 that Bolton settled at one home ground. Prior to this date they played their home games on several different pitches.
Bolton FC Manager
On October 25, 2007 Bolton FC introduced Gary Megson as their new manager. Megson was tasked with keeping the Wanderers in the top flight, a standing that had become precarious in the past few seasons. Megson was a defensive midfielder in his playing days, bouncing between 9 different teams in his 18 year career. His managerial career has spanned 17 years and 7 clubs. Megson’s most successful stint prior to Bolton was with West Bromwich Albion where he twice led them to promotion into the Premier League.
Bolton Wanderers Stadium
Bolton FC spent the better part of their early existence “wandering” from pitch to pitch for home games, lacking a true ground to call their own. In 1881 the team found a suitable ground, but remained there for only 14 years. From 1895 until the early 1990s they made their home at Burnden Park. In the early 90s, with Premier League ambitions and a deteriorating stadium, the decision was made to build a new park. Construction on Reebok Stadium began in 1995 and was completed in time for the 1997-98 season. Reebok Stadium seats 28,723 and was named after the club’s longtime sponsor. The decision to give the stadium a corporate name angered many of the fans who saw it as further proof that finances and not football were becoming more important in England. Fans have since warmed up to the stadium name, due in part to Reebok having its roots in the area.
Bolton Wanderers begin quest for first major trophy in 51 years. On August 15 Bolton Wanderers Football Club will start off the new Barclay’s Premier League season by hosting Sunderland AFC at Reebok Stadium. The Wanderers’ will be looking to erase a 51 year drought that has seen them fail to bring home any major trophy. A member of the Premier League since 2001, Bolton will be trying to cement their position in the Premier League and improve upon their standing from the past two seasons.
The club peaked in the 1950s, when they won the FA Cup for a fourth time in 1958. That was the last time Bolton brought home a major trophy, and from that point the club began a slow decline that saw them exit the top flight. The Wanderers bottomed out in 1987 when they were relegated to the fourth division of English football for the first time in club history. Since that point however, Bolton FC has been on a trek back to the top of football, something they achieved in 1995.
The Wanderers hold a unique spot in English football history as they are one of the founding members of the Football League in 1888. In the early decades of the Football League, the Wanderers were up and down between the first and second tier of the league. The 1920s ushered in a long era of prosperity for the Wanderers as they won the FA Cup three times during the decade, in 1923, 1926, and 1929. Building off their cup triumphs in the 20s, Bolton began a 29 year run in which they never fell from the top flight of English football, lasting from 1935-1964.
Blackburn Rover Info & Facts
Blackburn Rovers F.C. Crest
Blackburn Rovers Manager
Sam Allardyce took over as manager of the Blue and Whites in 2008 after managing Newcastle United from 2007-2008 and the Bolton Wanderers from 1999-2007. Known as “Big Sam,” Allardyce played professionally for the Bolton side that won promotion to the First Division in 1977-1978, as well as in the United States, bringing many American football tactics to the sport known as football to the rest of the world.
Blackburn Rovers Stadium
No club in the Premier League has been in their current home longer than the Blue and Whites have taken the pitch at Ewood Park in Blackburn, Lancashire. Open since 1882 next to the Darwen River, the stadium is comprised of four stands and seats over 31,000. Owner Jack Walker completed massive renovations at the site in 1994 that saw the construction of new, two-tiered stands at Darwen End and Blackburn End, along with the Jack Walker Stand, replacing the Nuttall Street Stand. Only the Riverside Stand remains unchanged.
While the Rovers have never achieved a level of success comparable to Chelsea, Manchester United, or Arsenal, they are one of the few clubs to have been founding members of the Football League and Premier League.
Manager Kenny Dalglish moved into a new position of Director of Football after his success as manager of the club, but the Rovers struggled to stay at the top. The club sold Alan Shearer to Newcastle United after the 1994-1995 and relegation followed after the 1998-1999 season. In 2000, Jack Walker died, but the Rovers gained their promotion and won their first League Cup in 2001-2002.
It wasn’t until owner Jack Walker took over the club that the Rovers would find success again. Flush with money, the Rovers made several key moves that allowed them to win the Second Division in 1991-1992 and finally return to the First Division. Walker continued spending money in the summer of 1992, shelling out a then-record 3.2 million pounds for young centre forward Alan Shearer, along with numerous other expensive acquisitions. In 1993-1994, those moves and others paid off for Walker, as the Blue and Whites finished runners-up in the Premiership to Manchester United. During the following off-season, Walker once again emptied his pockets to acquire Chris Sutton. The following season, Walker’s efforts paid off, as the Rovers won the Premiership for the first time since 1914.
However, the coming years would prove to be much more unkind to the Riversiders. Though they won league titles in 1912 and 1914, their FA Cup win in 1928 would be the last in a long, long time. Mediocrity finally led to relegation in 1935-1936. They managed to return to the First Division after the war, but suffered relegation once again in 1947-1948, remaining in the Second Division for ten years. Promoted in 1958, the Rovers mostly struggled through the following seasons until being relegated again in 1966, the beginning of a period that would see the formerly-proud club spend time in the Second and Third Divisions for 26 years.
Started in 1875, Blackburn experienced a great deal of success during the 1880s, winning three FA Cups. The Rovers then became one of the 12 founding members of the Football League in 1888, finishing in fourth place in the inaugural season. In 1890, Blackburn purchased Ewood Park during the midst of two more FA Cup wins that included the first hat trick in an FA Cup final, a feat achieved by William Townley.
