Bolton Wanderers cancel Oldham Athletic pre-season friendly and outline reason for decision

Bolton Wanderers have confirmed that the club's pre-season friendly versus Oldham Athletic has been called off after taking account of the reaction of some supporters to the planned game.

Wanderers were due to head to Boundary Park on Tuesday, 12 July, for a 7.45pm start to face John Sheridan’s side which is gearing up for a first season in the National League. The Latics were recently relegated from League Two.

The Latics were relegated from the EFL for the first time in their history this campaign. It followed a home defeat in April to Salford City which was completed behind closed doors after supporters protested on the pitch against the club's owners.
