WANDERERS heroes Sam Allardyce and Peter Reid will lock managerial horns this weekend in a special fundraiser for the Bolton Wanderers Remembrance Group.
The two former Burnden Park team-mates will be in opposite dugouts this Saturday (June 24) as a team of Bolton legends take on BWFCRG members in a charity game which will be the focal point of a day of fun at Atherton Colls’ Skuna Stadium.
Doors open at noon, with the main game scheduled to kick-off at 3pm.
Additionally, the event will feature live music, funfair rides, a wide range of stalls and activities, and even a wrestling show put on by a local promotion.
Tickets are available online and are priced at £5 for adults and 50p for Under-16s. Supporters can also purchase a family ticket for £11, which covers two adults and two children. Booking fees may apply.
The aim of the event is to raise funds for a number of good causes in the local community including Bolton Hospice, Pheniks and the Bolton Wanderers Ex-Player Association.
“We hope that we can sell out and get the crowd going,” said Kelby Makin, who has been working tirelessly to make the occasion possible.
“Hopefully, we will be celebrating a promotion and everyone can have a bit of a party!”
