Bolton issued prohibition notice and facing prospect of playing behind closed doors
Bolton could be forced to play their next two Championship home matches behind closed doors after being issued a prohibition notice by the club’s safety advisory group.The safety group, which is comprised of representatives the local council, police and emergency services, informed the EFL on Tuesday that it has placed the notice on Wanderers under the Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975.1

No fans will be allowed to enter the University of Bolton Stadium for either of Wanderers’ next two home matches

It was decided by the group that Bolton could not guarantee fans at the University of Bolton Stadium would be safe.The shock news comes a day before the club are due in the High Court, facing a winding-up petition from HMRCfor 1.2million in unpaid tax and other debts.Bolton’s players have also gone on strike over club staff not being paid their wages for March. The club told the group it could not address its concerns until after the court hearing, which gave the safety experts little choice but to rule that all supporters will be prevented from entering the ground for the home games against Ipswich on Saturday, April 6, and Middlesbrough on Tuesday, April 9.In a statement, an EFL spokesman said: “Whilst disappointed, the EFL understands the rationale for the position taken by the safety advisory group at this time.“However, we still hope the fixtures will take place as planned. We will work with the club and offer them any practical assistance that is available to us in an attempt to find a successful and timely resolution to the issue.”

Bolton did manage to beat QPR on Saturday – which led to the Hoops sacking manager Steve McClaren – but the games against Ipswich and Boro are must-win games if they are to have any chance of catching 21st-placed Millwall, who also have a game in hand and a much better goal difference.The stadium blow also comes only two hours after the latest update from chairman Ken Anderson on Bolton’s website, in which he makes no mention of the safety certificate problem but does urge the players to get back to work, while denying reports that the club’s sale is in trouble and that he is holding out for a large payment.
