SIR: As a fan of BWFC I was not surprised to see the new stadium called "Reebok Stadium" (BEN April 18) I was, however, gutted to see John Major lay the foundation stone and plaque of commemoration. What is going on? Of all the people in all the world he was picked. Why? His government is slowly crucifying the working class and others i.e. closures of old people's homes, libraries etc. (He will blame it on Bolton Council, but his government holds the purse strings - do not be fooled).

The final insult was Major being presented with a shirt with "Major 10" emblazoned on the back. The average supporter pays a lot of money for replica tops and this was shown on National TV.

Nat Lofthouse should have known better than to present this well known shirt to a very weak PM.

Let's hope he is out of number 10 very soon.
