No Prison in Bolton. It is Only a Town unlike the Sprawling City that is Preston.
Tell me again why your crowds are less than ours at the state of the art Deepdale???

Pretty simple.

We haven't been in the top flight since the 60's whereas you spent about a decade in the Premier League recently.

The fact we average 16,000 with 60 years of pretty much nothing to shout about is pretty impressive. Hard to say what yours or Blackburn's crowds would be right now in similar circumstances.

Bolton is also a much bigger place than Preston if we're going down that route.

Most of the people living in Preston are students aren't they?

Not most, but a reasonable percentage in the centre. Think the campus is 27,000 but obviously a lot of them will commute.

We've never done much marketing to the students which I think is daft. Should be selling half price tickets on campus for run of the mill league games.

Nah, you can get in the bin with your Huddersfield/ Wigan identi-kit stadium.
