THE Reebok Stadium, Bolton Wanderers new home at Horwich, took a step closer to completion over the weekend.

Construction workers dodged the thunder and lightning to install the diamond-shaped floodlight assembly on three of the four futuristic pylons.

The fourth was being lifted into place today, ending the steelwork phase of the stadium construction.

Wanderers' chairman Gordon Hargreaves described it 'as the last piece in the jigsaw' as work is now concentrated on internal fabrication.

Meanwhile the table topping Wanderers have collected another award.

The League champions have won the FA's Fair Play award for the first division, with Luton and Wigan taking the second and third division titles.

The winners collect £10,000 under the system which compares goals scored against cautions and sendings-off.

Barnsley, promoted to the Premiership as runners-up to Bolton, finished second in the first division standings.
