Shut up you bellend. Changing the name doesn't change much about the actual club, but it might encourage a new breed of supporter.

And what exactly is a "wanderer"? It doesn't even make sense. We might as well be called Bolton Horseshaggers.

A new breed of supporter???

We were named Wanderers for a reason, not just because it sounded good. Besides, I'd miss the fans, (ours and theirs) not singing wanky wanderers. Otherwise, the way we are playing, I would suggest the 'Middlebrook mummy's boys'

We're called the Wanderers because we started off in the 1830's palying an early form of football of up to 20 a side in Turton which was then part of Bolton (players were bussed out from Bolton centre by horse and cart), then moved to Pikes Lane, then moved again.

Biggie and Sluffy have the articles I sent in about the history of the club.

I knew that Wanderlust and was looking forward to being the one to tell everyone else.

I also knew that, but didn't mention it, coz I thought we all knew it.

Blackrod Bootboys.

The advantage in changing the name to this being that a chant already exists which went along the lines of:

And it's Hi Ho the Blackrod Bootboys,
Everywhere we go there's aggro.

Wanderers mean getting out and about, something that has obviously bypassed you through life!
