Lambert: We Just Prepared for the Game as Normal
Saturday, 6th Apr 2019 07:40
Blues boss Paul Lambert says Town prepared for Saturday’s game away against second-bottom Bolton Wanderers as they would normally, despite the match having been cast into doubt midway through the week due to the Trotters’ ongoing off-field problems.
As previously reported, the University of Bolton Stadium’s safety certificate was withdrawn on Tuesday with Wanderers unable to confirm that they would be able to adequately staff Saturday’s match until after a High Court appearance on Wednesday.
That hearing, which related to £1.2 million owed to HMRC and other debts, was adjourned until May 8th to allow time for a takeover by ex-Watford owner Laurence Bassini to be completed.
Bolton Game to Go Ahead If Staff Numbers Adequate
Wednesday, 3rd Apr 2019 18:43
Town’s game at Bolton Wanderers on Saturday reportedly will go ahead as planned following this evening’s emergency meeting of the Safety Advisory Group, as long as there are adequate staff at the University of Bolton Stadium.
As previously reported, an update is expected in the morning regarding Saturday’s match and also Bolton’s home game against Middlesbrough next Tuesday.
The fixtures were cast into doubt yesterday when the Safety Advisory Group withdrew the ground’s safety certificate with the Trotters “unable to commit to meet the obligations of its safety certificate until after a scheduled appearance at the High Court”.
