Wanderers Face Villa Opener

Last updated : 23 June 2005 By Mark Heys
Bolton will begin their 2005-2006 campaign with a trip to Aston Villa after the new fixtures where announced earlier on today.

The Trotters will make the trip to Villa Park on the 13th August before playing their first home game of the new season against Everton a week later. Ironically it was the Toffees whom Bolton faced on their final match of the last season.

Derby games against Wigan Athletic and Manchester City have been moved to a Sunday because of the Whites involvement in the UEFA Cup. The trip to the City of Manchester Stadium is on September 18, whilst the first ever journey to the JJB Stadium takes place on 2nd October.

The games against arch rivals Manchester United take place on New Years Eve at Old Trafford, whilst the return trip is at the Reebok Stadium on April Fools Day.

An away trip to the Stadium of Light to face Sunderland is scheduled for Boxing Day whilst the club wrap up the season at the Reebok Stadium with a home tie against Birmingham City.
