“…the ball hit the net. Somehow Felgate had managed to misjudge the shot and as the Saints fans invaded the pitch the Bolton fans just stood in amazement as their prize drifted away.”

Bolton Fanzine, still only a pound…
…not really, but that was the cry from around Burnden!!
So what’s this site all about? If you’ve not visited before, it was born out of an idea to rejig some old stories from the Bolton Wanderers fanzines of yesteryear to be published as a book. That part was successful. But the book needed a launch pad and along came the site. Fair to say it was a case of biting off more than weI could chew and maintaining and updating has been a bit frenetic and absent (sorry!). That said, there are plans afoot for a further rehash of the site to make it easier to update.
Football and website aside, “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly” book sales have been slow and steady – huge thanks to all who have purchased, reviewed and sent us nothing but praise so far – just hoping the good folk of Bolton realise a great read or a great present is sat waiting on our site ready to be purchased for that special Wanderers fan in their life!!!
Ok, enjoy the site, read the new and archived stuff, consider contributing (we’d love you to), buy the book, buy some back issues and support our sponsors.
Regards Smiley.
We have a book out!
Brought to you by White Love Publications. A 178-page book chronicling some of Bolton’s more memorable, more forgettable and more troublesome matches from the late 70s right up to the mid 90s. Stories that originally featured in the White Love fanzine over 20 years ago and have now been reworked and edited into this ‘must have’ book for all Wanderers fans who lived and breathed the Whites during that period.
EVERY BOOK SOLD raises £s for bwfcrg.co.uk
DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT,

Photo Gallery Coming Soon…
At White Love Towers we are endeavouring to source as much fan photography as possible. Presently we are searching for stuff from the 70s, 80s and 90s. It’s been a tough request as few, if any, fans took cameras to matches back then. At some point we’ll roll it out our request to the 2000s and of course the mountain of European tour pics that many of us have stashed on our hard drives. So if you have a pile of pics from the days when many of our supporters sported moustaches and perry haircuts, get them digitised and mailed over to us. Or just contact us on the button below and we can have a chat about the best way for us to get those old photos off you.
We Want You To Contribute…
Ideally we want the site to grow and diversify with as much input from a broader range of Wanderers fans. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t a literary genius, fire over your thoughts and words and we’ll do the rest where necessary. As mentioned above we are on the hunt for more photography. But also memes, funny stories and more up-to-date articles on present day matters at the club. Some of us old fossils behind the scenes are stuck in a reminiscent world of dreary football and over-flowing toilets!! Send us your thoughts on the current team, Ian Evatt, the owners, having a cashless stadium, the new kit, the next bunch of fixtures, Cameron Jerome, Kyle Dempsey and anything or nothing to do with the Super-Whites!
