Bolton Wanderers have revealed how many season tickets have been sold since the takeover was completed a fortnight ago.
Over 7,500 have been snapped up as of Thursday the 12th of September, incredible considering they were put on sale 6pm on Monday. Should it continue to rise, plus add the additional fans that don’t have a season ticket as well as the away fans they could look to beat their 2018/19 average of 14,239.
? We've sold over 7⃣5⃣0⃣0⃣ season tickets so far! The support has been nothing short of remarkable!
The ticket office phone lines are going berserk and we'll endeavour to get back to everybody. Thanks for your patience. #MadeInBolton?

She told The Bolton News: “This is the power of football.
“The fans have been through so much. They feel like they’ve been hurt and they’ve been trodden on and they feel disgruntled with the club and they feel downbeat and they feel sad.
“Then two weeks after completion there’s 8,000 people who have bought season tickets and for me that is football.
“Thank you, thank you, a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you that have supported us and bought season tickets.
“We will do everything we can to make you proud.”
“We took careful consideration over season tickets,” the chairman said.
“We all know the fans have had a very difficult time and there was a game missed last season, a game missed this season, and we wanted to make sure the price was a fair reflection of where we are today.
“We’re not in the perfect place but we’re a lot better than we were two weeks ago and as we go forward that will get better and get stronger and the fans will see what we’re doing.
“It’s great to talk but I also think it’s great to deliver and I think that’s what we’ve got to do now.”
Manager Keith Hill said: “As somebody who was born in Bolton and lives in the town I know how much this football club means to all our supporters.
“It has been a difficult time for the fans but since the new owners have been in place, there is a real sense of positivity around.
“This is an incredible opportunity for you to get on board and be a part of our future, and we will repay that faith you have shown us. There is no doubt about it, Wanderers will rise again! You will lift us!”
