Bolton Wanderers news: Championship club’s match against Ipswich in doubt due to ‘critical’ IT failure
Bolton’s match at home to Ipswich on Saturday is in doubt because of a ‘critical’ IT failure, the Championship club have announced.This is the latest setback for Wanderers who had been placed under prohibition notice by the region’s safety advisory group (SAG) due to concerns over safety of the fans, however, that was lifted on Thursday before the new problem.2

Bolton were given the all-clear to play the rest of their home matches at the University of Bolton Stadium

“Due to a critical failure of the stadium’s IT system, Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship match against Ipswich Town at the University of Bolton Stadium is in doubt,” read a statement on the club’s official website.“Engineers will be working through the night to resolve this issue and the club will provide an update at the earliest available opportunity.”SAG, comprised of representatives of the local council, police and emergency services, lifted their notice after Bolton managed to “reassure” them over safety issues. Bolton were given the go-ahead to stage matches at their stadium until the end of the season, but Saturday’s game could now fall victim to technical problems.The club’s home match against Millwall last month was placed in doubt due to safety concerns after staff, including stewards and turnstile operators, were not paid their February wages on time, but the game did go ahead.Bolton are desperately seeking to complete a club takeover in time to fend off a winding-up petition over an unpaid tax bill.They were granted a further stay of execution by the High Court on Wednesday when controversial former Watford chairman Laurence Bassini was confirmed as the club’s prospective buyer.

Bolton had been given two weeks to settle their debts at an initial hearing on March 20, but on Wednesday the case was adjourned again until May 8 to allow the proposed sale of the club to proceed.This is the sixth time in the last 18 months that Bolton have faced a winding-up order, which could result in administration or liquidation. The latest one was issued in February by HMRC over debts of 1.2million.The club’s barrister Hilary Stonefrost told the court on Wednesday that Bassini, who attended the hearing, “had proof of funds”.Bassini’s controversial tenure at Vicarage Road lasted only 13 months.2
