The Reebok Stadium - All the brown tourist signs were put up last week around the ground, followed by a big sheet with the Macron sign on being placed over the old blue Reebok sign today - extremely classy :(
Don`t think we missed a trick on this one, however it cant be long before our sacred name becomes something else - if only for the TV companies.
Anyone know if Reebok have been bought out by Macron?

No buyout just a straightforward rebranding after Macron won the naming rights.

Bloody hell, I must have been concentrating on the road yesterday when I drove past the Reebok/Macron and didn't notice any of the changes. I'm sure I saw/heard something in the local media up here last week about Bolton sponsoring an educational academy to be built on the estate on which the ground is built.

Bog awful ground to get away from as like the AJ Bell Stadium (Sale Sharks & Salford Reds ground), it's built too near to a motorway junction and causes log jams on the motorways way beyond what they should be for the size of crowds that all these teams get.

I've never been to the Reebok, but I once had to go to Bolton for a work meeting, and on the way back got stuck in one of the worst traffic jams I've ever encountered, right next to the Reebok.

I've been and it was terrible.

I went for the league cup semi. It was bland, boring and small.

Been a few times and wouldn't disagree with PWS.

I stopped off for a break from driving and ended up at the supermarket near the ground (a saturday, but they were away from home) it was insanely busy then so I'd hate to know what its like for a game

I like the stadium, but having been to Burnden Park who wouldn't!

Weren't we the first team ever to win there?

There is a hotel on site. So after the game, pop into the bar and have a sit down. That way you miss the queues!
