Great to hear those accents from afar. Best way to keep in touch with the Wanderers happenings. If I only understood the in-jokes on some of the songs. Used to be a newspaper!

Perfect for Bolton fans everywhere to keep yourself up to date. The added last word segments are great too for scratching that itch after the games - great to get second opinion from them. Keep up the good work Marc, Henry and the occasional Russ!
