Bolton Wanderers FC
Reebok Stadium
The Ground
For those of you who visited the old Burnden
Park, be
prepared to visit a different world. The stadium, which was opened in 1997
and built by Birse Construction, is simply stunning and can be seen
for miles around. The design is space age in appearance and is unlike anything else in the
country. Each stand has a conventional rectangular lower tier, with a semi
circular upper tier above. This is then topped with some diamond shaped floodlights, that
sit above the supporting tubular steel supporting structure.
The ground is completely
enclosed and has a large video screen in one corner, which replays goals from the game.
This gives you an opportunity to cheer a goal at least three more times after it has been
scored. One unusual feature of the ground is that the teams emerge from separate tunnels
at either side of the halfway line.
