Bolton Wanderers FC Info

Bolton FC Manager

On October 25, 2007 Bolton FC introduced Gary Megson as their new manager. Megson was tasked with keeping the Wanderers in the top flight, a standing that had become precarious in the past few seasons. Megson was a defensive midfielder in his playing days, bouncing between 9 different teams in his 18 year career. His managerial career has spanned 17 years and 7 clubs. Megson’s most successful stint prior to Bolton was with West Bromwich Albion where he twice led them to promotion into the Premier League.

The club peaked in the 1950s, when they won the FA Cup for a fourth time in 1958. That was the last time Bolton brought home a major trophy, and from that point the club began a slow decline that saw them exit the top flight. The Wanderers bottomed out in 1987 when they were relegated to the fourth division of English football for the first time in club history. Since that point however, Bolton FC has been on a trek back to the top of football, something they achieved in 1995.

Bolton Wanderers Stadium

Bolton FC spent the better part of their early existence “wandering” from pitch to pitch for home games, lacking a true ground to call their own. In 1881 the team found a suitable ground, but remained there for only 14 years. From 1895 until the early 1990s they made their home at Burnden Park. In the early 90s, with Premier League ambitions and a deteriorating stadium, the decision was made to build a new park. Construction on Reebok Stadium began in 1995 and was completed in time for the 1997-98 season. Reebok Stadium seats 28,723 and was named after the club’s longtime sponsor. The decision to give the stadium a corporate name angered many of the fans who saw it as further proof that finances and not football were becoming more important in England. Fans have since warmed up to the stadium name, due in part to Reebok having its roots in the area.

Bolton FC has a long tradition in English football that dates back 135 years. The club was founded in 1874 by Reverend Jon Farrall Wright as Christ Church FC. Three years later however, the club was renamed as Bolton Wanderers FC. The name Wanderers came from the team’s lack of a home field in their early days. It was not until 1881 that Bolton settled at one home ground. Prior to this date they played their home games on several different pitches.

The Wanderers hold a unique spot in English football history as they are one of the founding members of the Football League in 1888. In the early decades of the Football League, the Wanderers were up and down between the first and second tier of the league. The 1920s ushered in a long era of prosperity for the Wanderers as they won the FA Cup three times during the decade, in 1923, 1926, and 1929. Building off their cup triumphs in the 20s, Bolton began a 29 year run in which they never fell from the top flight of English football, lasting from 1935-1964.

Bolton Wanderers begin quest for first major trophy in 51 years. On August 15 Bolton Wanderers Football Club will start off the new Barclay’s Premier League season by hosting Sunderland AFC at Reebok Stadium. The Wanderers’ will be looking to erase a 51 year drought that has seen them fail to bring home any major trophy. A member of the Premier League since 2001, Bolton will be trying to cement their position in the Premier League and improve upon their standing from the past two seasons.

Burnley FC Overview

Burnley FC has a rich history in English football that goes back over 125 years. The Clarets are one of the founding members of the Football League. In 1888 Burnley, along with 11 other teams, founded the Football League. In the early decades of the newly founded league, Burnley experienced success on many different levels.

Burnley’s first game in the 2009-2010 Premiership will mark the completion of an astonishing turn around for a club that was on the brink of being relegated from the Football League all together in 1987.

Burnley FC Manager

On November 22, 2007 Scottish born, Ireland international Owen Coyle was introduced as the new manager at Burnley Football Club. Coyle took over a club that was finally stable on the field and led the team to a respectable 13th place finish on 62 points in the Championship. Coyle’s first full season in 2008-09 would be even more impressive as he led his team to a 5th place finish in the Championship and secured promotion through playoff victories. Coyle was a prolific striker in his playing days. After beginning his career with Dumbarton, Coyle bounced around to several different Scottish teams and even had a spell with Bolton Wanderers. Prior to joining Burnley, Coyle led Scotland’s St. Johnstone to back to back 2nd place finishes in Scotland’s second tier.

Turf Moor – Burnley FC Stadium

The Clarets hold another distinction in English football that is surpassed by only one team. Burnley has played their football on the same ground since 1883, at Turf Moor. Only Preston North End has occupied the same ground continuously for a longer period than Burnley has been at Turf Moor. The stadium can currently hold 22,546 seated, though with Burnley’s promotion to the Premier League, plans are back in the mix to expand seating capacity to 28,000. Turf Moor has played host to one FA Cup semi-final. The game was played in 1922 and saw Huddersfield Town beat Notts County 3-1. The record attendance at the stadium was set in 1924 during an FA Cup 3rd round game as 54,755 saw Burnley host Huddersfield Town. Turf Moor’s North and East end seating stands were rebuilt in 1996 and are at current the largest and newest stands in the stadium. With its promotion to the Premier League secure, the Clarets hope to expand seating in the West and South stands to bring the stadiums total to 28,000.

The club captured its first major trophy in 1914, defeating Liverpool FC 1-0 in the FA Cup final. The club’s first major league championship came during the 1920-21 season when they won England’s top flight after finishing second in the top flight in the prior season. After this point, league success would come at all levels of competition in England, but was interspersed with droughts in their form.

Burnley FC rejoins Premiership, completing turn of fortune for club. Burnley Football Club returns to the Barclay’s Premier League on 15 August, 2009 as they face Stoke City on the road at Britannia Stadium. Burnley FC is returning to England’s top flight of football after a 33 year absence.

Burnley has been up and down through all four divisions of English football in their history, earning them a unique spot in the league’s history. Burnley FC is one of only three clubs to have won a championship in each of the four divisions. In addition to their 1920-21 success in the top flight, they captured another title in 1959-60, and have captured the second division title twice, and once each in the third and fourth divisions.

This past spring (2009), the Clarets defeated Sheffield United 1-0 in the Championship’s playoff final to gain promotion to the Premier League.
