FROM THE MANAGER 

IAN EVATT 

IF A WEEK IS A LONG TIME IN POLITICS, THEN WHAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT FOOTBALL? 

We went into last Saturday’s game 

at Accrington Stanley on the back 

of two defeats and a draw without 

troubling the scoresheet. It wasn’t 

for a lack of effort but it is fair to say 

that that mini-run had played on our 

minds and affected our confidence. 

But seven days later - going into 

today’s game against Oxford United 

- and the picture is much brighter 

thanks to the manner in which we 

won at the Wham Stadium and 

Tuesday night’s last-gasp win at 

home to Burton Albion. 

In both of those games we had to 

dig deep and combat a style that 

was designed to frustrate us. 

We showed unbelievable character, 

unbelievable belief and unless the 

group is very much together you 

don’t come back like that. 

This is a really good group. The 

strikers have felt a bit of heat of late 

and I’m delighted that two of them 

have managed to win us the game 

against Burton. 

I thought the last 20 minutes we 

almost played angry after their goal. 

I wanted that energy and intensity 

but it’s so difficult when there’s so 

much disruption. 

Great credit to the players because 

they kept going. We thought after 

Kieran Lee’s one off the post and 

Conor’s chance, that it wasn’t going 

to be our day. But again, they kept 

going and managed to get the 

winner. It would have been easy to 

settle at 1-1 but we carried on. 

We’ve got a great habit of scoring 

late goals. We did last season and 

we did it again in mid-week. 

Our fans showed a tremendous 

amount of patience and could see 

what was happening in that game. 

You were frustrated, we were 

frustrated. But we all stick together 

and when you’re positive, good 

things can happen - and that was 

shown on Tuesday. 

We all stuck together as a group. 

The players did, the staff did and the 

crowd were with them all the way 

and it ended up being a really good 

night for us. 

We’ve got excellent players, we’re 

able to change games and we’re 

able to impact games - and Baka 

and Jon Dadi both came on and 

made such a huge impact. 

Being an attractive football team - 

and we want to play from back to 

front - I think it’s also really important 

we recognise we scored from a long 

kick from Traff and a second phase 

set-play on Tuesday. 

Against those types of teams with 

that many disruptions, sometimes 

it might be that way for us, but we 

found a way to win and good teams 

do that. 

This afternoon will be a different sort 

of challenge and one where we will 

have to show more patience and 

resilience, but I’m confident that we 

will get the job done. 

I’d like to welcome Karl Robinson, 

his staff, the player and all the 

fans who have travelled up to the 

University of Bolton Stadium today. 

Today is our annual Remembrance 

Fixture where we will remember 

those who have tragically lost their 

lives in conflict, thus making the 

ultimate sacrifice. We will always 

remember them and we’ll make 

sure to commemorate their lives 

and show them the respect they 

eternally deserve this afternoon. 

A huge thanks once again to all our 

fans and I hope you enjoy the game. 

Ian.

Wanderers came back from two down to register a first ever 

away league victory at Accrington Stanley on a ground where 

they’d been beaten on each of their previous three visits. 

Things got off to a bad start for Ian Evatt’s men when Shaun 

Whalley was set up by Joe Pritchard to beat James Trafford 

from close range and early into the second half George 

Johnston diverted an effort past Trafford and into his own net 

to leave Wanderers with a mountain to climb. 

Johnston played a key role in Wanderers pulling a goal back 

shortly afterwards when his header across goal was turned 

into his own goal by Harvey Rodgers after latching onto Jack 

Iredale’s cross. 

Kieran Lee brought things level from close range after being 

picked out by Elias Kachunga when the forward had managed 

to latch onto Dapo Afolayan’s deflected cross to steer the ball 

back across the six-yard box. Afolayan proved to be the matchwinner 

shortly afterwards showing great composure on the 

edge of the box to beat his man and rifle a low shot beyond 

Toby Savin.

DID YOU KNOW? 

Despite being founded in 

1893, Oxford United have 

only been known as such 

since 1960. 

For the 70 years prior to that, 

they were officially known 

as Headington United. They 

were renamed in order 

to give their club a higher 

profile.

THE SPINE OF THE TEAM 

GOALKEEPER | SIMON EASTWOOD 

Age: 33 | Previous Club: Blackburn Rovers 

Into his seventh season with Oxford United, Eastwood has made over 250 

appearances for the club and has been a regular between the sticks this campaign. 

Arriving from Blackburn Rovers in June 2016, the Luton-born stopper began his 

career with Huddersfield Town after coming through the club’s youth system. Loans 

at Woking and Bradford City followed before a move to Oxford United in 2010. Failing 

to make an appearance for the U’s during 2010/11, he spent the following season with 

Halifax Town before a summer 2012 move to Portsmouth. 

Signing for Blackburn Rovers after a single season at Fratton Park, he stayed at Ewood 

Park for three years (2013-2016) and made 20 appearances for the club during that time. 

CENTRE BACK | ELLIOTT MOORE 

Age: 25 | Previous Club: Leicester City 

Now an established member of the Oxford defence, the 25-year-old signed 

for United in August 2019, moving from Leicester City for an undisclosed fee. 

Coming through the ranks with the Foxes, Moore never got his break in the 

first team although he gained invaluable experience from two seasons on 

loan in Belgium with OH Leuven. 

A regular in the team ever since his move to the Kassam Stadium, he has 

made 11 appearances so far this season and in total for the club, he has made 

a total of 135 appearances (8 goals). 

CENTRE MIDFIELDER | CAMERON BRANNAGAN 

Age: 26 | Previous Club: Liverpool 

A talented central midfielder and the key cog in this Oxford United team, 

Brannagan enjoyed his best season to date last term, scoring 14 goals in 44 

appearances – performances linking him with a move to the Championship. 

He’s enjoyed a bright start to this season too, and he’s managed 7 goals in 

18 appearances so far. Since his move to the Kassam Stadium from Liverpool 

in January 2018, the Manchester-born midfielder has made a total of 206 

appearances (36 goals). He made 9 appearances for Liverpool during his 

time at Anfield and he also had a brief spell on loan at Fleetwood Town in 

2017. 

STRIKER | KYLE JOSEPH 

Age: 21 | On loan from: Swansea City 

Joseph is enjoying a bright start to life on loan at Oxford United and his goal 

in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Portsmouth was his sixth of the season since joining 

on loan from Swansea City. 

A Scotland U21 international, Joseph has made just 12 appearances for the 

Swans since his £500,000 switch to South Wales from Wigan Athletic in July 

2021 and he spent much of the first half of the 2021/22 season on loan at 

Cheltenham Town. In 22 appearances for the Robins, he scored 4 goals.

THE BOSS… 

Appointed as Manager of Oxford United in March 2018, Robinson is 

currently into his fifth full season at the Kassam Stadium and despite a 

slow start to the season, he’ll be hoping to have his side in the mix for 

a place in the play-offs – as has been the case in each of the last three 

seasons. 

Given his first managerial role at MK Dons in May 2010 at the age of just 

29, Robinson has over a decade of experience coaching and managing 

in the professional game despite being the relatively young age of 42. 

During just over six years at Stadium MK, Robinson managed to guide 

the club into the Championship for the first time in 2014/15 and between 

his time at MK and Oxford, he also spent 18 months or so in charge at 

Charlton Athletic.

MARLAND’S 

MUSINGS 

STANLEY HOODO PUT 

TO BED 

The Wham Stadium, or Crown 

Ground depending on your age, 

has not been a particularly happy 

hunting ground for the Wanderers 

and it was pleasing to finally get 

that first League victory there on 

Saturday. 

The 7-1 defeat there in November 

2019, followed two weeks later 

by an EFL Trophy knockout by 

2-0, set the pattern that continued 

last season when a Tommy Leigh 

goal gave Stanley the points. Even 

the Wanderers youth team were 

knocked out of the FA Youth Cup 

there last season. 

KIERAN LEE EQUALISES

Colchester, Rochdale, Walsall and

the two-legged tie. That Wanderers 

team included future FA Cup 

winner Brian Birch. 

More recently, the youngsters 

have reached the sixth round,

Nottingham Forest in 2013 which 

came after an incredible 8-4 victory 

in the previous round against 

Tottenham at White Hart Lane. 

The Wanderers youth team of

DEMPSEY 

20 | The Wanderer 01204 328 888

A TRUE COMPETITOR – NO-ONE NEEDS TO TELL 

KYLE DEMPSEY HOW HE’S PLAYED. 

The Wanderers’ midfield man 

is his own harshest critic as he 

strives to be the best he can be. 

By his own admission he’s not yet 

at the top of his game on a regular 

basis. 

But Dempsey won’t rest until he 

gets there and already this season 

has heightened the bar with some 

of his performances in helping the 

Whites into the top six. 

“I think this year I’ve shown the 

side the fans wanted to see when 

I joined in January,” said Dempsey 

– one of Wanderers’ top transfer 

targets when he made the move 

back north from Gillingham in the 

winter transfer window. 

“I was unfortunate picking up 

injuries left, right and centre when 

I joined and coming back from 

that knee injury I had, with the 

operation. 

“I think this year I’ve shown – I 

wouldn’t say consistently and I’m 

still harsh on myself when it comes 

to my performances – a lot higher 

level of what I can bring to the 

team. 

“Wycombe was a great day for me 

and it’s now trying to build on that.” 

Dempsey’s two-goal showing 

against Wycombe in his first 

appearance of the season back 

in August underlined the qualities 

the former Carlisle United, 

Huddersfield Town and Fleetwood 

man brings to Ian Evatt’s squad. 

He’s not a man to rest on his 

laurels as he showed with his 

reaction via social media to 

Tuesday night’s epic win over 

Burton Albion. 

“I’ll say it again great character 

from the team!! We keep going 

until the end. We keep the 

momentum going. Below my 

standards but continue to work 

hard to get back to my best,” 

Dempsey Tweeted. 

But that came just four days 

after another power-packed 

performance at Accrington to 

help set up the first of two thrilling 

comeback wins in a row. 

“I was unfortunate against 

Cheltenham to get knocked off 

the pitch and land on the concrete 

which did a bit of damage towards 

my hip,” Dempsey added. 

“I’ve tried to shake that off and last 

Saturday was a great game in a 

different way. 

“To come back from 2-0 down 

with the support we had there was 

absolutely fantastic – especially 

listening to the crowd and seeing 

the joy on the faces when we 

came back. 

“That was absolutely great and at 

home the fans have been amazing 

to me, as well. 

“For me now, it’s to try and kick on 

for the rest of the season and try 

and score as many goals, as many 

assists and put in as many highlevel 

performances as I can until 

the end.” 

After recovering from the hip injury 

that forced him to miss Wanderers’ 

defeat at Forest Green and 

returning via the bench against 

Barnsley a fortnight ago, Dempsey 

has started the Whites’ last three 

games. 

That has coincided with wins in 

the Papa Johns Trophy and six 

points from six in League One to lift 

Evatt’s men back up to fifth spot in 

League One. 

Given the fight for places in 

the Wanderers’ midfield that 

doesn’t guarantee another start 

against Oxford United today, but 


The Wanderer | 21

with several strings to his bow 

Dempsey is able to offer the 

manager a number of invaluable 

options. 

“I think you can see with the squad 

the gaffer has built this year, the 

competition for places is massive,” 

said the 27-year-old. 

“For me, that drives my standards 

on even more. You know you’’ve 

got to do that extra bit in the gym, 

you’ve got to keep yourself as 

sharp and fit as you can and the 

standard of training is incredible. 

“It’s maintaining your standards, 

training as a high level as you can 

and playing as well as you can to 

keep your place in the team.” 

“I had that conversation with 

the gaffer about the versatility,” 

Dempsey added. “I can play one of 

the 6s (holding players), I can play 

the 8 and I can play the 10. 

“I think my main position is the 

8 when we do play the 8. That’s 

been my natural position all my 

life and even on Saturday I felt 

comfortable in there. 

“I find myself in better areas 

and understand that position a 

lot better but I’m working hard 

behind the scenes to learn that 

10 (attacking) role and be able to 

find myself in better goalscoring 

positions and for creating 

opportunities. 

“I’ve also played the 6 a few times 

in my career as well, so I’m familiar 

with that, so it definitely helps me 

and the versatility will always be 

better in my stead when trying to 

keep my place in the team.” 

Dempsey will do whatever it takes 

to perform on a personal and 

collective level to help the Whites 

continue their climb. 

And after a potentially pivotal 

week, is hoping Wanderers can 

continue to kick on from here 

as scrap for places near the top 

warms up. 

“It looked as though at one 

stage Accrington was going 

to be another Forest Green or 

ON OUR PITCH 

WE’RE ABLE 

TO PLAY OUR 

EXPANSIVE WAY 

AND TEAMS 

STRUGGLE TO 

DEAL WITH THAT. 

Cheltenham where we’ve not 

performed to our standard and got 

stuck in the way they play,” he said. 

“It’s a really tough place to go and 

they made it a really competitive 

game but even at 2-0 down we 

believed, lifted the intensity and 

got the ball moving at a lot quicker 

tempo and got the win. 

“On our pitch we’re able to play 

our expansive way and teams 

struggle to deal with that. 

“It’s just coming up against teams 

on tighter pitches when maybe the 

surface sometimes isn’t as good. 

We’ve just got to find a way to win 

and on Saturday we were able to 

do that. 

“Hopefully it’s a turning point for us. 

We’ve got to believe in those types 

of games that even at 2-0 down 

we can come back and we’ve got 

to start games like we ended the 

game. 

“If we start like that for the whole 

game, away from home should 

take care of itself, and then we 

showed the same spirit on Tuesday 

night to win here. 

“Teams aren’t going to make it 

easy but the ability in the squad 

is beyond question and with the 

character we’ve got, we know we 

can find a way. 

“Hopefully we can do the same 

today and that’s the thing with 

League One. You’ve just got to stay 

with it and stay within that top six. 

“It’s a marathon and there are so 

many games to be played. As long 

as we can just keep ourselves in 

the mix and pick up as many points 

as we can, we will keep building 

and see where we go.”

BOLTON WANDERERS IN THE COMMUNITY 

NAME COMMUNITY CAPTAIN TO HELP 

MARK THE PREMIER LEAGUE’S 

30TH-ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS 

DOMINIC RICE, OF BOLTON, HAS BEEN NAMED AS BOLTON 

WANDERERS’ COMMUNITY CAPTAIN IN RECOGNITION OF 

THEIR INCREDIBLE WORK IN THE LOCAL AREA SURROUNDING 

PL KICKS AND HAF (HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES & FOOD) 

Run by Bolton Council, the HAF 

programme was the perfect 

initiative to pair with PL Kicks as 

it provided free meals to children 

receiving benefits of free school 

dinners all while providing them 

with exercise and activity during 

the school holidays at our PL 

Kicks sessions. 

The Community Captain accolade 

is being given to more than 100 

members of the public who have 

made an outstanding contribution 

to their club and local community, 

as part of the Premier League’s 

30th anniversary celebrations. 

Dominic received the accolade at 

the University of Bolton Stadium, 

receiving a PL30 Community 

Captain armband and pennant. 

Dominic Rice, Community Captain, 

said: “It’s a fantastic surprise to 

receive such an award, we need 

you just as much as you need us 

and that’s why the partnership 

works so well.” 

Premier League Chief Executive 

Richard Masters said: “As we mark 

30 years since the Premier League 

first kicked off, it is important we 

celebrate the unsung heroes 

who deliver brilliant work in their 

communities. These people – 

whether they are participants, 

coaches, volunteers or long-time 

employees – are the lifeblood of 

their clubs and their communities. 

“The continued success of Premier 

League football enables us to 

provide unprecedented investment 

in communities and wider football. 

As we look to the future, we are 

committed to investing more than 

ever, to help develop the game 

and provide opportunities to 

people of all ages.” 

PL Kicks is supported with Premier 

League funding to aid partnering 

with Dominic and Bolton Council 

to implement HAF over Easter, 

Summer and Christmas school 

holidays. 

Across England and Wales, Premier 

League investment supports the 

community organisations of all 

92 Premier League and English 

Football League clubs, plus the 68 

National League clubs. 

Over the next three years, 

the League will continue its 

world-leading levels of support 

by contributing £1.6 billion to 

communities and the wider game. 

During the Trophy Tour, the League 

will be announcing new financial 

commitments to benefit fans 

and communities. This includes 

increased investment into the 

Premier League Fans’ Fund, with 

£5m available to support fan 

engagement projects across the 

top four divisions of the football 

pyramid. The League is also 

investing an additional £13.5 million 

into the Football Foundation to 

create small-sided pitches in the 

heart of communities that need 

them the most. The tour will also 

give an opportunity to highlight 

new Premier League investment 

into women’s and girls’ football, 

including the Emerging Talent 

Centres announced earlier this 

summer.

A TIME TO REMEMBER 

TODAY’S GAME IS DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES DURING CONFLICTS 

DOWN THE YEARS, THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED AND SACRIFICED FOR THEIR COUNTRY. 

Before the game we shall hold a 

minutes silence and lay a wreath 

whilst during the game our players 

will be wearing the shirt with the 

poppy on as part of our act of 

remembrance. These shirts will be 

auctioned off to raise vital funds 

for the Royal British Legion. 

On an often-forgotten cenotaph on 

Nelsons Square is a war memorial 

to those who died in action serving 

in the Bolton Artillery. On that 

memorial is the name very dear 

to us here at Bolton Wanderers, 

Harry Goslin. Harry our Team 

Captain of the time Harry was an 

inspirational leader both on and off 

the pitch and in 1939, in front of a 

23,000 strong crowd at Burnden 

Park, the 28-year-old skipper gave 

a rousing speech before leading 

his entire team to sign up at the 

local Territorial Army drill hall. They 

became known as the Wanderers 

at War. 

“We are facing a national 

emergency,” he told them. 

“But this danger can be met, if 

everybody keeps a cool head, 

and knows what to do. This is 

something you can’t leave to the 

other fellow, everybody has a 

share to do.” 

Harry lost his life in conflict and is a 

real hero of our Club, our Town and 

our Country. 

Today we have many guests with 

us who will form a guard of honour 

on the pitch as the players enter 

the field. Amongst these guests 

are those that have served our 

country in more recent conflicts, 

along with family representatives of 

some who lost their lives and were 

Bolton Wanderers fans. 

These include, Julie Hall, founder 

of the Darren Deady foundation 

in memory of her son Kingsman 

Darren Deady, who died from 

wounds sustained in Afghanistan. 

Three troops representing the 

Royal Artillery and Corporal Harry 

Goslin, including SSgt Mark Talbot 

(Staff Sergeant), 

Five troops representing the 

Duke of Lancasters and Kingsman 

Darren Deady including Sgt 

Justin Singleton (Sergeant) who 

is the manager of the Lee Rigby 

Football Team, who play charity 

matches to raise funds for The Lee 

Rigby Foundation. Most recently 

playing against The Darren 

Deady Foundation at Daisy Hill 

FC, to raise vital funds for both 

foundations, to carry out work in 

their communities. This will now 

become an annual fixture. 

We also have with us today 

Corporal Louis Murray, REME 

who drove the custom-built Land 

Rover hearse for The Duke of 

Edinburgh’s funeral and was 

awarded the Queen Victoria Medal 

by the late HM Queen Elizabeth II. 

He also stood guard at the late HM 

Queen Elizabeth II state funeral. 

It is important that during this time 

we all wear our poppy with pride 

and join together to remember all 

those who have lost their lives in 

conflict and those that have served 

their country. We are one club, one 

community, one town. 

Enjoy the game.

MEMORABLE MATCHES 

SEASON 2022/23 MARKS THE 25TH 

ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF 

BOLTON STADIUM. 

Saturday 12th January 2002 

Barclaycard FA Premiership 

Bolton Wanderers 2 

Chelsea 2 

For the third match in a row the 

Wanderers came from behind to 

rescue a point. Missed chances 

and defensive errors conspiring 

to put them behind twice in a 

game which illustrated the fine line 

between success and failure in the 

Premiership. 

After a lackluster first half former 

Wanderer Eidur Gudjohnsen 

fired Chelsea ahead. Their lead 

was to last just two minutes, 

Michael Ricketts dancing round 

‘keeper Carlo Cudicini to level 

matters as he emerged as a 

genuine contender for England 

honours, but, in the 65th minute 

the Londoners regained the lead 

through Mikael Forssell. 

Eleven minutes from time along 

came another equaliser for Bolton. 

Fredi Bobic, making his debut, 

challenged for the ball and it fell 

for Kevin Nolan to send a shot that 

deflected off Marcel Desailly and 

beyond Cudicini. 

In a nailbiting finish Simon Charlton 

was on hand to clear a John Terry 

effort off his own line to earn the 

point that gave Bolton a three 

points cushion from the drop zone. 

Team: Jaaskelainen, Diawara, 

Bergsson, N’Gotty, (Barness),

Barclaycard FA Premiership 


Ipswich Town 1 

Fredi Bobic became the first 

Bolton player in 39 years to 

score a top flight hat trick as the 

Wanderers demolished Ipswich 

with a scintillating first half display. 

Not since Freddie Hill netted all 

three in a 3-2 victory over Sheffield 

United at Burnden Park in March 

1963 had a Wanderer claimed the 

matchball at that level. 

The German managed the feat 

in 38 minutes with a devastating 

display of finishing to all but secure 

Bolton’s Premier League safety 

and virtually condemn Ipswich to 

the drop. Youri Djorkaeff also got 

into the act when Bobic combined 

with Rod Wallace to set up a simple 

finish for the Frenchman after 35 

minutes. 

The second half was a non-event 

compared to the first but that was 

down to Wanderers successfully 

shutting up shop and frustrating 

Ipswich at every turn until the final 

minute when Jamie Clapham finally 

got lucky and fired in a consolation. 

Team: Jaaskelainen, Barness, 

N’Gotty, Whitlow, Charlton, 

Djorkaeff, Nolan, Warhurst, 

(Frandsen), Gardner, (Ricketts), 

Bobic, (Holdsworth), Wallace. Subs

Newcastle United 3 

The Wanderers hauled themselves 

out of the bottom three for the first 

time in three months in a thrilling 

clash that saw them hang on for 

victory after having a three goal 

cushion. 

It was a blistering start, Jay Jay 

Okocha smashing Bolton ahead 

with a shot from the edge of the 

area that found the top corner after 

just five minutes, Alan Shearer 

levelling matters just three minutes 

later. 

In the ninth minute Ricardo 

Gardner found the same top corner 

from a thirty yard free kick. 

On the stroke of half time Michael 

Ricketts made it 3-1 when he rose 

to get above Andy O’Brien to plant 

his header from Per Frandsen’s 

cross out of Shay Given’s reach. 

In the 63rd minute Ricketts took 

advantage of a poor backpass by 

Gary Speed to increase the lead. 

Shola Ameobi reduced the arrears 

for the Magpies and then,in the 

79th minute, a blistering free 

kick from Shearer brought them 

within one goal to make it an 

uncomfortable final ten minutes for 

the Bolton supporters. 

Team: Jaaskelainen, Barness, 

Bergsson, Whitlow, Charlton, 

Frandsen, Okocha, Gardner, 

Djorkaeff, (Nolan), Pedersen,

BURTON ALBION 1 

(Hughes 73) 

TUESDAY 25 OCTOBER 2022 | SKY BET LEAGUE ONE | UNIVERSITY OF BOLTON STADIUM 

Wanderers backed up a late 

turnaround victory at Accrington 

Stanley with similar exploits 

against Burton Albion at the 


thanks to goals from Amadou 

Bakayoko and Jón Daði 

Böðvarsson. 

Dapo Afolayan went closest for 

Wanderers in the first half, firing a 

low effort inches wide after being 

picked out by Elias Kachunga’s 

low pull-back and with just over 

a quarter hour remaining, Burton 

took the lead.

Social Media Man of the Match: Jón Daði Böðvarsson. 

After latching onto Terry Taylor’s 

corner, Sam Hughes rose above 

Gethin Jones to head the ball past 

James Trafford via the inside of the 

post. The goal gave the Brewers 

something to hold onto and they 

almost held onto all three points 

until substitute Amadou Bakayoko 

popped up with a leveller late on, 

guiding a superb half-volley past 

Ben Garratt. 

Kieran Lee was denied by the 

post in stoppage time before 

Böðvarsson fired a shot through 

a crowded box and into the back 

of the net after Garratt had initially 

kept out Kieran Sadlier’s header 

– sparking delirium inside the 

University of Bolton Stadium.

Clifford was thrilled to find out 

he had won the top prize on the

Clifford of Bolton received his 

£1000 cheque through the post

photo of himself and his winning 

cheque.

Bolton Wanderers supporter 

since my schooldays and as I got 

older, I decided to support the 

BWDA, I have done this for over 

thirty years now participating in 

both the Goldline and Lifeline 

weekly fundraisers. I have always 

tried to help them with their fund 

raising.” 

It was Clifford’s son who gave 

him the good news of his win 

on their arrival at Forest Green 

for Saturdays match, “At first he 

thought he had won!” Clifford 

remarked. 

On finding out it was actually 

his winnings Clifford said, “I 

was highly delighted to receive 

the news of my winnings and 

plan to spend the money on a 

winter break to Tenerife.” 

Finally, Clifford said of the 

weekly fundraisers, “I would 

highly recommend the Goldline 

and Lifeline weekly fundraisers, 

not only have you a chance of 

winning great cash prizes like 

me, but you are also helping the 

club with all their development 

projects.” 

Congratulations Clifford from 

everyone here at the BWDA, your 

support means the world to us

‘LOVE FOOTBALL. PROTECT THE GAME’ 

A message about anti-social and criminal behaviour 

To mark the new season, we want to 

make you aware of new measures 

being taken across all of football 

to ensure everyone can have a safe 

and enjoyable experience. We are 

supporting strong action from the 

FA, Premier League and EFL to tackle 

anti-social and criminal behaviours 

that put all of us at risk. 

This reflects the seriousness of 

the risks to fans and staff – pyros 

can burn at 2000 degrees Celsius 

and cause lifechanging injuries, 

while entering the pitch endangers 

players, managers and match 

officials. 

We know those who commit these 

illegal acts do not represent the 

majority of supporters.

ON THE COVER 

Due to this weekend’s 

fixture being our designated 

Remembrance Fixture, we 

have dedicated the cover to all 

those who have lost their lives 

in conflict throughout the years. 

They will never be forgotten. 

Inside the issue, you will still 

find the usual image of a current 

Wanderers player in a home 

jersey that has been worn 

during the time since the club 

moved to its current home in 

1997 - to commemorate the 25th 

anniversary of the stadium. Kyle 

Dempsey is pictured wearing 

the 2012/13 shirt manufactured 

by Adidas - featuring the poppy.
