Bolton in secret plot to woo Roy Keane?

Bolton Wanderers stick two fingers up to the prawn sandwich brigade

Roy Keane didn’t often endear himself to non-Manchester United supporters, but he certainly struck a chord with real football fans when he complained about the ‘prawn sandwich’ eating fans that have taken over the corporate boxes of Premier League football stadia in the last 15 years.

Avid readers of the club’s official newsletter, which drops into my inbox every Friday, may have noticed Wanderers’ own two-fingered salute to the prawn sandwich brigade.

Bolton Wanderers: Prawn sandwiches not welcome

The section advertising ‘Corporate Opportunities’ and ‘Hospitality Offers’ leads to two error pages on the official BWFC website… and everyone knows that when you see ‘page not found’ on the internet they might as well have written ‘fuck off, you’re not welcome here’.

Is this just a cock-up from a commercial department still reeling from finishing in the relegation zone in a league against its rival Premier League commercial departments, or is someone at the club secretly buttering up Sunderland boss Keane for if and when it goes tits up for Gary Megson this season?

And am I Bolton Wanderers fan hoping its the latter, or would that be heresy?
