The Trotters
For Bolton Wanderers supporters, the Trotters tradition brings together a club founded in 1874, home matchdays at Toughsheet Community Stadium, and the familiar sight of North Stand and East Stand. Milestones such as FA Cup winners (4) and Charity Shield winners (1958) give the present-day club a strong and recognisable sense of history.
