Bolton Wanderers to wear commemorative kit against Ipswich Town
Friday 4 March 2016 11:11, UK
Bolton players will wear a special commemorative third kit for the Sky Bet Championship game with Ipswich on March 8 to mark the 70th anniversary of the Burnden Disaster in which 33 supporters lost their lives.
The following day, March 9, marks the 70th anniversary of the crush at Wanderers' former Burnden Park home, during an FA Cup sixth round second-leg tie with Stoke.
Tuesday's game at the Macron Stadium will see Bolton players wear a special third kit which will not carry any sponsor branding as a mark of respect to those who died.
Bolton's website also announced that a special memorial service will be held at the stadium at 3pm on Wednesday and that sales of replica third kit had raised £10,000 for Bolton Young Persons Housing Scheme.
