Wanderers' chairman, Phil Gartside, got a feel for the high life when he took delivery of the official Barclaycard Premiership flag that will have pride of place at the Reebok.

Barclaycard's Richard Mackey said: "We're a new sponsor and Bolton are a new club in the league. We regard the handing over of the flag as a symbolic gesture. We are delighted to have them in the top flight."
