Bolton Wanderers’ home mid-week fixtures in the EFL will kick off at 7.45pm from the start of next season onwards, the club has confirmed.
The Whites have mostly kicked off at 8pm since their move to the University of Bolton Stadium 25 years ago in 1997 due to an agreement made at the time with local stakeholders. Matches in the EFL Trophy - now known as the Papa John's Trophy - have kicked off at 7pm.
But following talks with Bolton Council, the Safety Advisory Group, which also includes representatives of the local emergency services, and supporters, evening home games will now start 15 minutes earlier.
