Bolton Wanderers - Reebok Stadium Guide


Stadium Info
The Reebok is a modern, all-seater stadium with a capacity of 28,723 which was completed in 1997, replacing the club's old ground, Burnden Park. Despite the improved facilities and larger capacity (and resultant larger ticket revenues), this move was unpopular with many of the club's fans. Most new grounds tend to be unpopular at first however and in recent years it's been much more appreciated. There are no bad views within the stadium and all seats have unrestricted views.

Away Fans
Up to 5,000 visiting supporters can be accommodated and are allocated the South Stand behind one of the goals. Generally, the allocation is nearer 3,000 however and when this amount is taken the lower tier can be shared with home fans The upper tier however, is reserved for away fans. The leg room and facilities within this stand are very good and the view is fantastic.

Where To Drink
The Beehive is located on Chorley New Road, with the advantage of fans being able to park their cars there for £5 and claim the monies against drinks at the bar. The Bromilow Arms is a five minute walk from the ground located in Lostock Lane. It’s a friendly pub with a mix of home and away fans. Car parking is also available at £2.50 per car.

The Reebok Stadium is located on the Middlebrook Retail Park which has plenty of fast food outlets including a Nandos, Burger King, Pizza Hut, a BWFC themed McDonalds and several other themed restaurants.

Parking
Parking is freely available at the stadium at a cost of £6 per car. It is advisable to leave your car here in the secured car parks as there's little parking in surrounding areas. However, if you are determind to park on the roads to save a few quid, try parking at the Beehive pub which is on the roundabout (half a mile past the stadium coming from the motorway) where you pay £5 per car but get it all back at the bar.

By Train
The nearest / closest train station to Bolton Wanderers's Reebok Stadium is the Horwich Parkway train station which is just 100 yeards away. It is situated on the Manchester Airport to Preston and Blackpool North/Blackpool North and Preston to Manchester Airport line.
