Ever dreamt of walking down the home tunnel at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, the imagined roar of the Wanderers faithful ringing in your ears? Or standing on the very spot in the dugout where many managers have masterminded famous victories? Well, now is your incredible chance!
We're throwing open the doors for a brand-new, immersive stadium tour that takes you deep into the soul of your amazing, historic football club.
This isn't just any walk around the ground it is your opportunity to connect with the moments that have defined us. You'll get to explore the inner sanctum – our home dressing room, feel the electric anticipation of lining up in the players' tunnel and you'll step out onto the hallowed pitchside, seeing the view from Steven Schumacher’s spot.
Our stadium has been the stage for some truly spectacular nights, hasn't it? Remember those unbelievable UEFA Cup adventures? You'll be standing where we took on European opposition, where the atmosphere was absolutely bouncing for nights like our historic first European home win against Lokomotiv Plovdiv and the unforgettable clash with giants like Atlético Madrid under the floodlights. This tour takes you right behind the scenes to where these incredible memories were forged.
But our rich story, the one that binds us all, began long before our current home. We'll take you on a journey back to our very foundations as Christ Church FC way back in 1874 and through the 102 cherished years at our spiritual home, Burnden Park. Imagine the generations of fans, the dreams realised, the sheer emotion soaked into that legendary ground. We carry that spirit with us and you'll feel how that legacy continues.
Through thick and thin, triumph and challenge, one thing has always defined us: our "One Club, One Community, One Town" ethos. This tour will also shine a light on the incredible work of Bolton Wanderers in the Community, showing how our club is embedded into the heart of Bolton, making a real difference to the lives of people in our town every single day.
As we proudly carry forward our incredible legacy, approaching nearly 150 years of history, these tours are a celebration of everything Bolton Wanderers stands for – our past, our present and the exciting future we’re building together.
And who better to share his thoughts than a man who has created so many magical moments in a Wanderers shirt, Club Legend John McGinlay: "This is your chance, Wanderers fans, to get right into the soul of Bolton Wanderers. To walk where heroes have walked, to feel the history that lives in these walls and to understand what this club means to our town. From the roar of Burnden Park that I remember so well, to the incredible nights we've had here – this is where our memories are made. On these tours you will feel the heartbeat of our club and our community. It’s an experience every Wanderer should have!"
