BOUNCING baby Nathaniel Campion is believed to be the youngest ever Wanderers season ticket holder -- after his parents signed him up at just SIX DAYS old.
The tiny tot, who is named after Wanderers legend Nat Lofthouse, has his own seat at the Reebok Stadium next to his family.
His dad Warwick paid £112 for the child's ticket after a vacant seat came up next to the family's four-seat "plot" within days of Nathaniel's birth.
Nathaniel is most likely to sit on a neighbouring seat with his grandma, but his parents wanted to make sure that he also had his own spot.
Last week, the Bolton Evening News featured little Jake Parsisson who at nine-months-old, was believed to be the Reebok's youngest season ticket holder.
Mr Campion, who is named after the Super Whites' 1950's half-back Warwick Rimmer, said that, says Nathaniel will not be attending the first game of the season this weekend due to bad weather the family managed to find the vacant seat after writing to the club to explain about their new arrival, who is now four-weeks-old.
Mr Campion, aged 31, who lives in Holcombe Avenue, Kearsley, said: "We're worried about the cold and rain at the moment, but as soon as the weather picks up, he'll be there with the rest of us cheering the team on."
The family said they could not have Nathaniel missing out on any Wanderers action, saying it was their tradition for children to start supporting the Super Whites early.
Grateful grandfather John sent the club a picture of the baby with a letter of thanks after the ticket was confirmed.
And young Nathaniel's picture featured in the match programme for the Charlton game on Saturday, which the family will keep as a momento.
Mr Campion and his mum and dad, Susan and John, have always been season ticket holders at the club, and Warwick can only remember three seasons in 31 years where he has not held a season ticket, and he is so keen on the Wanderers that he even bought his wife Amanda a season ticket seven years ago -- as a wedding present.
She has now become a dedicated follower of the club, and attends all matches with her husband.
Mr Campion said: "We had already renewed the family ticket when Nathaniel arrived.
"So he had to have his own seat. We are so proud that he will be the youngest season ticket holder.
"I went to my first match at six months old. I can't remember it, but I'm proud to say I've been watching the Wanderers all my life, and I'm sure Nathaniel will be the same."
