Neighbours’ ‘misery’ over estate behaviour nResidents say situation has become worse since leisure centre closed By Nick Statham
nick.statham@nqnw.co.uk
RESIDENTS say ‘horrendous’ anti-social behaviour on an estate is making their lives a misery. People living on the Flower Estate in Harper Green told councillors at their area forum meeting,at Farnworth Cricket Club’ that the problem had spiralled out of control. Pat Duckworth, chair and treasurer of the Flower Estate Residents Association, said that the issue had become much worse ever since Harper Green Leisure Centre closed down one year ago. It is now owned by Harper Green School and youth activities such as the Kid-a-Quid clubs the association ran four nights a week at the centre have not been replaced. Ms Duckworth said: “Since 12 months ago, because Harper Green Leisure Centre closed down it has resulted in antisocial behaviour escalating
FORUM: Cllrs Champak Mistry and Sue Haworth beyond control. I have tried and tried on several occasions to contact Harper Green School with no result whatsoever. I have told them that if they reopen the
leisure centre in the evenings I would do what I have done for the past four years previous to it closing down. “I raised something like £21,000
to keep the leisure centre open. Any child in Farnworth up to the age of 16 was able to go into the centre for two hours a night for free. “We raised all that money for that and 12 months ago, when they shut the leisure centre, that finished and, as a result, the anti-social behaviour in the area has escalated beyond control.” Another resident, who said she lived near the Carnation Road roundabout, said the last six months had been ‘horrendous’ She said: “For 32 years I have lived on that roundabout and in the last six months two people have put their houses up for sale and so have we. “Why should we move out of an area we have lived in all our lives?” Ward councillor Sue Haworth said she had feared the leisure centre would not reopen to the public when she sat on the Children’s Services and Culture scrutiny committee. She said: “I was concerned about that as I knew the worst case scenario was that the academy would not back using the leisure centre for community use.”
Party on: Political group goes official
THE borough’s newest political movement has taken an important step in its bid to become a force at the ballot box. Farnworth and Kearsley First has been officially registered as a political party by the Electoral Commission. The group applied in July after agreeing its constitution and appointing Peter Flitcroft as party leader, Paul Heslop as

election officer and Vic Gethin. The party says it wants a better deal for the Farnworth, and Kearsley and ultimately it would like the towns to break away from Bolton Council - a move dubbed ‘Fexit and Kexit’. Mr Flitcroft said the group was delighted to be officially recognised as a political party. He said: “It’s a big step for us and hopefully it will lead people
to take us a little more seriously. We are now trying to broaden our membership and get people more actively involved in the party. The party leader added that the group now had the foundation to move forward and start challenging at the local elections. He said: “We have obviously got nine seats to be targeted in Farnworth, Kearsley and Harper
Green over the next three years. “ We will soon start the process for selecting candidates and campaigning to get the people of Farnworth and Kearsley motivated behind us. “It’s an exciting time for us, with the right backing behind us we can make our mark.” The group will officially launch as a political party at a public meeting later this month.

Liv’s Trust CIO will help support under 25s across Greater Manchester who have an interest in musical or dance education. Steve Goodman, Olivia’s stepgrandfather, who she called ‘Papa’ is running the trust with a group of trustees of family and friends. He said: “We’re starting small and we hope to be able to provide musical instruments or even a pair of dance shoes for those who need them.” Mr Goodman, who lives in Radcliffe, hoped as the trust grew it would be able to go on to provide bursaries and scholarships. It will be officially launched on November 25 at Bury Town Hall.
HAPPY: Kyle meets his idol, the magician Dynamo
‘He has gone to his dad in heaven’

“Everybody has been fantastic, all the posts on Facebook have been about Kyle. “He has just been so strong and such a fighter for the last nearly four years.” Kyle lost his father, Gary, to bowel cancer when he was just nine months old. And Mrs Buckley said the pair would now be reunited. She said: “He has gone to his dad in heaven, he can go and have some good time with him now, he never really met his dad. “I’m going to miss him incredibly, but I have all the good memories of him to keep forever.” Kyle was with his mother, step-father Robert Coen and three-year-old sister when he died at home in Atherton, where they had moved from Deane. Mrs Buckley broke the news in a heartbreaking Facebook post. Writing on the social media site, she said: “This morning at 5am our special brave little boy Kyle Peter David Buckley passed away peacefully, at home in his own bed. “No more suffering now baby boy, you can go spend another life with your dad in heaven now, love you so much and will miss you loads, xxxxx.” Martin Witter, teacher at Ladybridge High School, in Deane, where Kyle was a
pupil, also paid an emotional tribute to him. He said: “The whole Ladybridge family is devastated to hear the tragic news of the loss of our dear Kyle. He was an inspiration to all of us with his bravery and determination. “We will miss him terribly and our thoughts are with his family at this most difficult time.” John Bradford, landlord at The Brooklyn in Great Lever, held a number of fundraising events for Kyle. He said: “We were so, so sad to hear that news. He was a brave lad, he has been here many times, we have done a few things for him, it’s a close thing to us here.” Our readers also took to our Facebook page to express their sadness over Kyle’s death. Rachael Storey said: “What a brave brave boy. He has taught the world a lot of important things. What an inspiration he is. Prayers and thoughts are with his family. Carry on shining Kyle in heaven. A light like yours cannot be turned off, it just shines in another place where we can’t go just yet.” Susan Eckersall added: “RIP brave little man, prayers go out to his mum and family, he will be met at heaven’s door by his dad, and this must be a comfort. xx” And Helen Bradley added: RIP Kyle.

XxX Bolton comic Peter Kay donated £75,000 to the Make Kyle Smile fund last month, raised through a special Q&A event he held at the Manchester O2 Apollo. It was hoped that the money could help find a special treatment for Kyle which would extend his life or cure him. But recently his family said medics were unable to help and they were concentrating on keeping Kyle as comfortable and happy as possible. Last week one of his
dreams came true when he was visited by his idol, the TV magician, Dynamo. Kyle was first diagnosed with Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma in 2014 and received intensive treatment. A drug he was given to combat the disease had an adverse effect and he became deaf in July, 2014. He fought hard, but relapsed in May, 2015 before he was given the all-clear in December of that year. But in March, 2017 a scan showed that Kyle’s cancer had returned.

HURRICANE IRMA
Hurricane couple are saved by links to home
n Friends come to rescue of publican pair celebrating anniversary in Florida Nick Statham
nick.statham@nqnw.co.uk
A COUPLE who were in Florida to celebrate their silver wedding anniversary when Hurricane Irma struck relied on their Bolton connections to survive the giant storm. John and Grainne Bradford were forced to flee their hotel in Miami Beach when the government ordered a mandatory evacuation of the area. The pair, who run The Brooklyn, in Great Lever, had not booked on a package deal so were effectively ‘out on the street’ with no help. Mr Bradford said: “They knocked on the door and said everybody has to be out by 3am, the hotel is closing. We said ‘where do we go’ and they said we had to do whatever we needed to do. “They threw us out on the street. The only things were the shelters, or to head for the airport. “We didn’t think going to the airport was a good idea and the shelters are like big sports halls, with tiny beds. They are safe but a bit hectic, and a bit scary as well as we’ve never done anything like that.” The 58-year-old publican said that seeing a deserted Miami was chilling in itself. He said: “The place was like a ghost town, I’ve never seen anything like that. “We were among the last ones out and for a big, busy city to be like that is scary in itself.” Fortunately Florida-based singer Martin Gallagher, who hails from Bolton, and had performed at the Brooklyn, offered them shelter while the storm raged. Mr and Mrs Bradford are friends with Mr Gallagher’s daughter, Selina Scott, and the musician learned of the couple’s predicament via Facebook. He drove to Miami picked them up and headed 180 miles up the
DESTRUCTION: Trees snapped and fell as Irma hit Florida coast to Melbourne The couple sheltered in Mr Gallagher’s conservatory when Irma hit. Mr Bradford said waiting for the huge storm to pass had been ‘an experience’ like no other. He said: “There was lightning and mad rain and half the trees snapped in the back garden, it was a bit scary. It went on all night, I couldn’t really sleep. “If you have never been in one, you don’t know what it’s like.” He added: “The morning after a lot of branches had come down, a lot of palm trees had blown over and all the big signs were damaged. And all the lights they have hanging up in America were all over the place. “But all the damage was superficial, we got away with it really, because all the houses were intact.” The torrential rain also had a dra-
matic effect on their surroundings. “ There was a grass verge, about the size of a bowling green, in front of where we were staying was full of water, it was like a lake, it was unbelievable,” said Mr Bradford. After the storm the power was out and the couple then headed north to Orlando, where friends from Bolton —Francesca Derbyshire, her dad Harold ‘Macca’ McKenzie and brother Thoms Burke —had offered them space in their holiday apartment.” Mr Bradford added: “It was a Bolton thing, without the two families that helped us, God knows what would have happened. We would probably still be out there now. I can’t say how much they helped us, I can’t put it into words.” The couple faced huge queues at Orlando International Airport but finally arrived home on Thursday morning.
Get ready a fun-filled colour rush A RUSH of colour will sweep over Bolton tomorrow as more than a thousand people gather for a messy day out. The Bolton Hospice Bubble Rush kicks off at 11am in Queens Park. Around 1,300 have signed up to take part in the sponsored 5k event which sees them running, jogging, skipping and walking through mountains of colourful bubbles. Spectators are invited to come along and watch, with registration opening for participants at 10am to 11.30am. There will be a big group warm up before it kicks off at 12pm.

Hospice events coordinator Grace Wood said: “We can’t wait to host Bolton’s second Bubble Rush and with the weather set to be sunny it’s going to be a fantastic day full of frothy fun!”

Brain-injured danger driver spared prison nJudge told how he has been left with memory and speech difficulties By Joanne Rowe
joanne.rowe@nqnw.co.uk
A DANGEROUS driver who was left in a coma after smashing into another car has been spared jail. After hearing how Curtis Constantine suffered brain damage in the smash in Darwen Road, Bromley Cross, on April 7 Judge Elliot Knopf told him: “You have paid a heavy price and I accept that. It is the particular circumstances that cause me to draw back from imposing an immediate custodial sentence.” Instead 23-year-old Constantine, of Darwen Road was sentenced to 17 months in prison, suspended for two years and was banned from driving for three years after which he will have to take an extended driving test. Nicholas Clarke, prosecut-

ing, told Bolton Crown Court that Constantine, was driving a Ford Fiesta on Darwen Road. Witnesses described him as speeding in the 30 mph limit, overtaking a row of traffic waiting at the junction with Hospital Road and crossing through a red light. Further down the road Constantine clipped the wheel of a Renault taxi and lost control, ploughing, head-on, into a Renault Clio in which Bethany Howlin and her friend Emily Bradshaw were travelling. “Thankfully the two young ladies in the Clio were wearing their seat belts. Both of them were able to walk away from the car with relatively minor injuries,” said Mr Clarke. But Constantine was thrown through the passenger window
SENTENCE: Curtis Constantine of his car and suffered serious head injuries. The court heard that the trained plasterer was in hospital for six weeks, has been left with cognitive, memory and speech difficulties and is unable to work. At the time of the smash Constantine was on bail for offences including driving having taken cocaine and whilst banned.
He was due to be sentenced for the offences three days after the crash. Constantine pleaded guilty to dangerous driving on April 7, driving whilst banned and without insurance. He also refused to allow a blood sample taken after the crash to be analysed. “Just what that may be said to indicate would be a matter for speculation,” said Judge Knopf. Constantine also admitted drug driving and driving whilst banned on December 2 last year. Kevin Liston, defending, stated that Constantine feared he could have left his 10-month-old son without a father. “He accepts, with hindsight, that he behaved in an idiotic and dangerous manner. It has been a sobering experience to say the least. “He is grateful that it has happened to him and not to a third party. “He is going to serve his punishment for his conduct on a daily basis for the rest of his life.”
PLANNING
Play area security concerns
PLANS have been revealed to build play areas in Westhoughton — but councillors have raised concerns about security. An application was submitted to change the use of land at Acorn House in Dams Head Fold to hard and soft play areas. The land would be divided into three areas — a toddlers play area, a pre-schoolers area
and an out of school club play area, which would include swings and a climbing frame. The proposal was discussed at a recent planning committee meeting at Westhoughton Town Council and members voted to recommend the application for deferral. The response from the town council said: “This planning application was deferred and
the town council requests clarity on the security of the play areas, which are unfenced and open to the road, clarity on the impact on the senior citizens’ bungalows, which are across the road, and clarity on pollution control.” To view the plans for the play areas, search for reference number 01675/17 at planningpa. bolton.gov.uk

A FORMER Wanderers star dubbed ‘Twinkle Toes’ by legendary team-mate Nat Lofthouse has celebrated his 80th birthday. Brian Riley, who turned out for the Whites in their famous sides of the 1950s marked notching up his eight decade with a special bash surrounded by his family and friends. And the one-time Burnden Park ace, who now has dementia, showed he hadn’t lost his old touch as he gamely headed and kicked a football for the cameras at Lever Edge Care Home, in Great Lever. A room at the home was specially decked out with balloons, banners and bunting, while guests tucked into food and enjoyed some party tunes. But Mr Riley’s highlight appeared to be when footage of The Whites 1957-58 FA Cup winning side appeared on the screen. He cheered, raised an arm in the air goal-celebration style and said: “The best, the best there was.” And with the help of his daughter, Anne Bennett, he was able to regale partygoers with some stories from his career. One centred around the time Wanderers took on Russian side CDSA Moscow At Burnden Park in 1957. The great-grandfather, who comes from Deane, told the room: “They were very, very good but we kicked-off and it wasn’t all flowers and roses for them because we were playing the better. “I thought I was playing quite well, and Nat Lofthouse as well. Half time came and we were five in front. They couldn’t get to grips with us, the Russians.” Mr Riley also reeled off the names of several old team mates, including Eddie Hopkinson, Roy

THEN AND NOW: Brian during his 80th birthday celebration and, inset, a headline on his Wanderers debut Hartle and Ralph Gubbins, saying they were ‘all good players’. It was from this game that Nat Lofthouse began calling him ‘Twinkle Toes’ – due to his nippy play – having previously given him the nickname Hank Riley. Another highlight of Mr Riley’s career was setting up Nat Lofthouse’s 200th league goal at Burnden Park, on his debut against Sheffield Wednesday. He also lined up against Manchester United’s Busby Babes shortly before the Munich air tragedy. His one goal in eight first team appearances came in a 3-1 win against Birmingham City at St
Andrews, in April, 1959. Mr Riley left Wanderers in 1959 after signing in 1956 and went to play for Weymouth and then Buxton. While at Buxton he was badly injured during a game and was forced to retire from football after 10 years in the game. The injury was so severe he wore a calliper for two years and it was feared he wouldn’t walk again. He went on to retrain as an electrician and worked for De Havilland and Chloride Motive Power. Mrs Bennett said: “I’m so proud that after the injury, which was a terrible time for him because he was football mad, he was be-
sotted with football, he dreamed about it all his life. “But he had responsibilities for three children, me, Christopher and Stephen and he had to change over.” His son, Christopher Riley added: “It was an achievement to be a professional, there are more about now, there are more academies and more opportunities. But it was an achievement for somebody to come up and make the grade in such a difficult environment – and he was only small, about 5’5”. “Nat Lofthouse remembered him and it was nice to be remembered because he was a real legend.”

‘Pride and joy’ stolen n High-performance car

A RARE high-performance car was stolen in the early hours yesterday after intruders broke into a house and stole the keys. Burglars struck at the property in Manchester Road, Burnden, just after 1am with owner Anthony Grime being awoken by the burglar alarm. The 31-year-old woke to see two people driving away with his £28,000 Audi S1. Mr Grime said: “ I jumped out of bed, looked out of the front window and saw two people jumping into the car and speeding off. They were in and out in less than 20 seconds. “They came in through the back door using a locksmith tool to rip the lock barrel out and the lock on the door was a security lock certified to all the latest and greatest standards. They didn’t take anything else. They left my wife’s car keys and her bag. ” He is now urging anyone who has seen the ‘distinctive car or has information to contact police in a desperate bid to get his car back. Mr Grime said: “I am glad the car keys were downstairs and that they did not come upstairs. My

Manhunt after tube bombing n Huge counter-

Witnesses described scenes of terror and panic as the blast sent a “fireball” and a “wall of flame” through a District line service at Parsons Green station in west London. Police suspect the explosion was sparked when an explosive device was detonated, and have launched a huge counter-terrorism investigation alongside MI5. The device is being forensically examined while detectives are scouring CCTV and examining witness statements for potential leads. London Mayor Sadiq Khan told LBC radio “there is a manhunt under way as we speak”, while Scotland Yard said detectives are making “fast-time” inquiries to establish who was responsible, adding that there

Writing off student loans ‘could cost £20bn’ WRITING off the loans of students who started university after tuition fees were trebled to £9,000 a year could cost the public purse £20 billion by 2050. A new analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies concludes that while making such a move now would not have an immediate effect, it would increase government debt in the longer term. If tuition fee debt was written off after a General Election in 2022, three times as much around £60 billion - could be added to overall debt. The future of tuition fees has been subject to intense debate, sparked in part by a Labour party election pledge to scrap the charges for future students. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn also suggested that he wanted to look at ways to “deal” with the debt of those who have paid £9,000 a year in fees, although shadow education secretary Angela Rayner insisted this summer that the party has “no plans” to write-off existing student debt, adding that they had never promised to do so.
A MULTI-JAB that could package the whole range of childhood vaccines in a single injection may be on the way. Scientists in the US are developing a new method of containing vaccines in microscopic sealed “coffee cups”. They are designed so that their “lids” degrade at specific times, allowing the contents to spill out. The technology could lead to a whole collection of vaccines being incorporated into a single jab, including boosters that are released after a specific time period. Lead scientist Professor Robert Langer, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), said: “This could have a significant impact on patients everywhere, especially in the developing world where patient compliance is particularly poor.”
BADGER culling has begun in 21 areas across England as part of efforts to tackle tuberculosis in cattle, the Environment Department (Defra) has confirmed. Licences for 11 new schemes in Devon, Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset and Cheshire were announced as part of an expanded cull programme which could see as many as 33,000 badgers killed. Culling is now under way in the new schemes and in eight operations in Dorset, Cornwall, Devon, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire which first began in 2015 or 2016. Supplementary culling is also being carried out in two areas in Somerset and Gloucestershire which have already completed a four-year pilot cull. The Government has committed to rolling out culling to more areas.

A TINY dog had to be rescued by a specialist firefighter when it got its head stuck in a biscuit jar. The pug and Chihuahua crossbreed puppy - known as a chug got into trouble as it tried to eat up the final crumbs in the jar at its home in Southampton. A fire and rescue service spokesman said that the owner of the dog - named Buddy - used washing up liquid in a bid to free it but when this failed, contacted the fire service. Animal rescue expert Anton Phillips said: “This was an unusual job and it was strange being able to see the animal’s doleful expression through the glass. I was keen not to risk breaking the glass as this could have injured the animal.”

Investigation launched after report of rape n Woman, aged 19, being supported by specialist officers By Saiqa Chaudhari
saiqa.chaudhari@nqnw.co.uk
A POLICE investigation has been launched after reports that a young woman was raped in Bolton town centre on Wednesday. Officers cordoned off Newport Arcade yesterday morning. The passageway connects Newport Street and Coronation Street, near the Octagon car park. Police say they received a report at 4pm, on Thursday, that a 19-year-old had been raped on Wednesday. The teenager is being supported by specialist officers as inquiries continue to establish time and location, but police believe the report of the attack is to have taken place in the town centre and taped off the area. The investigation is in its early stages and police are
appealing who may have information to contact them. A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: “Police attended the victim’s address and specially-trained officers are now supporting a 19-year-old woman.” He added that Newport Arcade was taped off ‘as part of police enquiries’. The spokesman said: “Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting incident number 1247 of 14/09/17, or anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.” One shopkeeper said: “It is a shock, it is horrible to hear this. It makes people scared and the council are investing money into the town. The passageway is used by so many people to get to the car park.” The report of the rape comes two months after an investigation was launched after the attempted rape of a woman in a churchyard. Police were called to Bolton Parish Church, Silverwell Street, on July 6.

Cannabis company is the first in the region
n Business has faced
obstacles in venture to make good a drug By Rosalind Saul
rosalind.saul@nqnw.co.uk
THE Boltonian behind the first North West company to produce a legal cannabis product has hit out after facing problems selling it. Lancashire osteopath Nick Tofalos has set up CBD One, a company selling cannabis oil. A former drama teacher at Thornleigh College, Nick has been working in health care for 12 years, running two practices as well as a health food shop in Garstang. Cannabidiol, known as CBD, is one of the chemical compounds found in cannabis. It was made legal in the UK after being classed as a medicine earlier this year. Despite being above board and having hundreds of interested customers, Mr Tofalos, aged 47, has faced obstacles. This include the service

feels like organisations are lined up to try and prevent this happening regardless of the law.” TBD, the cannabis compound which makes people
‘high’, has been removed from the legal products which come in different forms, including an oil which can put on the tongue or put in liquid and digested. CBD has been known to help people suffering from cancer and chronic pain, to anxiety. The former Canon Slade pupil who lives in Earby, came up with the idea and launched the website with the support of his family from Smithills. It follows the death of his brother Constantine, a former Bolton News photographer, at the age of 42 in 2012 after battling multiple sclerosis. He explains: “The only thing stopping us getting something like the product was it being illegal. there was nothing I could do but watch my brother waste away. “It is at the back of my mind and you want to help other people through those difficult times!” CBD One imports the oils from Holland and is signed up to the Cannabis Trade Association - the industry’s regulatory body.

‘Incredible challenge’ to get rid of suicide nBosses aim to cut
tragic figures to zero as part of reforms By Rosalind Saul
rosalind.saul@nqnw.co.uk
BOLTON is aiming to make suicides a thing of the past. Health bosses are setting out plans to reduce suicide rates to zero as they look to reform the way care is delivered in the town. At Thursday’s meeting of the Health and Wellbeing Board of Bolton Council at the town hall, assistant director of public health, Sue Longden said a draft suicide prevention partnership strategy had been produced. The “No more suicides in Bolton” plans are part of an overall aim to improve the health of the Bolton population. Mrs Longden said: “It feels

ties, successful businesses and healthy, engaged residents. “It is not just about helping people live a long time, but living a long time in a healthy and fulfilled way.” In January, The Bolton News reported how a inter-
im report on suicide rates in Bolton by Public Health found the town records around 30 suicides per year — lower than the national average. However, it also found an increase in suicides in the most deprived fifth of the population — making up a third of suicides across all of Bolton in 2014, but accounted for 58 per cent in the first eight months alone of 2016. Details of the strategy are to be agreed later this month as part of the ongoing work of The Population Health and Prevention strategic partnership which is also looking at reducing falls and social isolation. Mrs Longden added: “Some people say this will take years and years, but it doesn’t have to. It can happen very quickly, in a period of months of the prevention strategy being implemented to help prevent falls and the like, which reduces the numbers going to hospital.”

We can work it out: Bolton Wanderers boss Phil Parkinson adamant a first win is close ahead of Ipswich
OF course Tuesday’s game wasn’t a great game but we only let one goal in which, fair play to Parkinson, was an improvement on Saturday’s performance against Boro. But now maybe there might be a little light starting to shine above the Macron with the lifting of the embargo. This season, up to Thursday’s announcement, Parkinson has had to make do with his 25 man squad. He has had to try and bond that team, building their confidence up and probably he knows his squad of misfits is not up to Championship standards. Without the option of getting new players, he has had to try and see the good even if it’s not there all the time but, with a few key signings, things really could be better. Maybe give a trial to some out of contract players. I looked at some of those players and didn’t think there were so many great ones out there. Joe Ledley, good strong central midfielder at this level and, for Wales, Kris Commons, another good pedigree at this level too. Sulley Muntari, defensive midfield. My personal view on Spearing is sorry but no thanks. If he had any true feelings for our club he would have signed some sort of deal. Even a pay as you play would be better than sitting out the past three months because he thinks he is worth a Premier League wage. Personally, I think any of the three I

Most read stories mentioned before would be better signings for us. As for Parkinson, maybe now he can try and improve the squad and maybe it’s fairer to see what he can do with a little money and some new players than beating him up for decisions he has no power to change and has had to deal with. I’ve never seen any manager deal with such conditions and yet still got us promoted last year. Mikey160165
Battle time
WE need to be brave, we need to start the game the same way we finished the game against Sheff Utd.
IT was very sad to learn of the death of young Kyle Buckley. The 12-year-old lost his brave battle with cancer early yesterday morning and his devastated mother broke the news to the world. While it is devastating news for the family and all who knew Kyle, as his mum, Carol, said, he is no longer suffering and is now with his dad, who died when Kyle was just nine months old. Despite his illness, Kyle spent the past four years battling and fundraising efforts on his behalf
We did not get anything from that game but had the ascendancy. When the opposition face us, they face us with confidence, they know where we are in the table, they know we are not free scorers, and let teams have most share of possession. It is my opinion that if we applied a bit of shock and awe, took the game to them and ran at them, even if we lose the ball, it does not matter because all you need to do is upset their way of thinking and they could be in for a shock. We need to keep our shape, we need to battle and give an extra 50% but more than anything,
especially after that special news on Thursday, we need to display an unstoppable confidence going forward as a team. dafkaren
Bolton Wanderers Football Club emerge from EFL transfer embargo after 630 days
Surprise us
I’M as happy with this news as the next White — if it’s really true that the embargo is lifted forthwith (when I read the report and Ken’s quote carefully, it’s not a 100% done deal yet). Details a bit sketchy. Who knew that Ken had such money up his sleeve /
under his mattress/in his Swiss bank account? Of course, I’m assuming that he is putting his own money in and not relying on loans and refinancing as proof of funding..? I guess it doesn’t matter (does it?) now that we are out of the embargo. Now Ken can take the next step to full acceptance amongst Whites fans and make money available for signings (of course only out of contract players at present), competitive wages and provide Parky with a war chest for the January window. Come on Ken, continue to surprise and please us loyal Bolton fans. TonyH78
Brave Kyle was an inspiration to everyone Comment
were often featured in The Bolton News. There were numerous events held to try to raise money for specialist treatment for Kyle and these were always well supported,
whether it was friends at Ladybridge High School, or community events in pubs and stores. Comedian Peter Kay even sent the youngster a special message of encouragement. Despite the tragedy of losing Kyle’s father, Gary, and then Kyle also being diagnosed with cancer, the family achieved so much to raise awareness of this dreadful
disease and were always positive about the future. Kyle was a brave little boy who will be terribly missed. His death will leave a big hole in the lives of so many people, but his family can be proud of the way he confronted his illness and was an inspiration to those around him. This should be his legacy, with positive things done in his memory.

Escaped prisoner went to see mum
nHe walked out after learning about a cancer diagnosis By Joanne Rowe
joanne.rowe@nqnw.co.uk
A PRISONER who went on the run after learning his mother was ill with cancer has been sentenced to a further six weeks behind bars. Bolton Crown Court heard Dean Worthington had been serving a two year jail term for burglary and theft at HM Prison Prescoed in South Wales. But on July 27 he walked out of the open prison and returned home to Bolton. Police arrested him at his address in Cheriton Drive five days later. Mark Friend, defending, told the Honorary Recorder of Bolton, Judge Timothy Clayson that in July 37-yearold Worthington found out that his mother was seriously ill and applied to be transferred to a prison nearer to
her home in Farnworth. But he feared permission would not come through before his due release date on November 24. “The unfortunate irony was that, after he had escaped, the prison authorised the transfer. He was not aware that the transfer had been granted,” said Mr Friend. Worthington pleaded guilty to escaping from prison and appeared at Bolton Crown Court for sentencing via a video link from Forest Bank jail. Judge Clayson told Worthington that he will now spend half of an additional six week sentence in prison for the offence. He told him: “It is appreciated that anybody in custody who learns of the ill health of a relative is going top be seriously concerned. “Had you stayed put you would have, in fact, been moved to a more convenient prison.You were not at large for very long and your personal circumstances are significant mitigation.”

Extension plan’s a ‘win-win’ n Bid for two-storey
extension welcomed by council members
By Alex McIntyre
alex.mcintyre@nqnw.co.uk
THE proposed six-classroom expansion of a primary school has been hailed as a ‘win-win situation’ that will help to keep children in Blackrod. The plans submitted by Blackrod Primary School are for a two-storey extension at the rear of the school, which would be linked to the building via a single-storey corridor. Members of Blackrod Town Council welcomed the plans and voted unanimously to support the planning application at a recent meeting. Cllr John Price, who represents Blackrod North, said: “It is a welcome addition because it is obviously what Blackrod needs. It will help to stop Blackrod children being allocated spaces at schools outside the village. “Anything we can do to avoid that is brilliant. Obviously the school itself is an exceptional school so it is a win-win situation.”
The planned extension comes after Bolton Council increased the number of pupils going into reception from 30 to 45 last year following a record demand for places, caused by a rising birth rate and the closure of Scot Lane End Primary in 2008. This increase means the school in Manchester Road will grow from 210 to 315 pupils over the next four years. A design and access statement submitted with the application said: “The new rooms to the extension will mainly consist of six new classrooms, a resource area, WCs, stores, ancillary spaces and circulation. “The existing building will
largely remain the same with some internal refurbishment. The rooms generally consist of academic classrooms, offices, WCs and ancillary spaces. “There will be a slight increase to the rear hard play area to meet the children’s basic needs and fall in line with the guidelines of BB103 to accommodate the increased number of children.” There would be no chance to the external features of the existing building and the extension would be clad in dark grey or black brick.

John Edmondson takes us into the Yorkshire Dales to discover a remote tarn
NATURE NOTES
Sophisticated predators of the skies get set to strike
W
ALK over Wild Boar Fell, Yorkshire Dales’ fourth highest peak, and visit a remote tarn that remained nameless until June this year, when it was dubbed Swarth Fell Tarn as a tribute to Alfred Wainwright. Wild Boar Fell, part of Mallerstang Common, was brought into the Yorkshire Dales National Park in August 2016
1 From Cotegill Bridge walk northwards along the B6259 to Aisgill Farm. Immediately after crossing the gill turn left, go through a metal gate and follow the track to pass under the railway viaduct. Aisgill is the highest point reached by main line trains in England. It was the scene of a fatal rail accident in January 1995 when a northbound train was derailed across both tracks by a landslide and struck a few minutes later by a southbound train. Go through a metal gate then turn right and walk above a wall on the right, passing a small waterfall on the left. At the top of a slope where the wall bends right keep straight on over open fell, passing a sheepfold and reaching a limestone pavement. Keep left of a tumbled wall ahead and join the waymarked Pennine Bridleway, curving round the edge of a slope. On reaching a wall at the top of the ascent (High Dolphinsty) turn left. Ascend the ridge path up to a cairn on the summit of The Nab. The path bears right passing cairns to reach the 2,323-feet top of Wild Boar Fell, reputed to be where the last wild boar in England was killed. An Ordnance Survey column enclosed by a stone wind shelter marks the summit. Near the edge of the scar on the left are 11 tall pillars and three shorter ones. These are similar to those on other hills in the area but it is not known who built them or why. From a distance they look like people, which suggests that they may have been built to deter Scottish raiders. 2 Continue ahead along a faint path with a fence on the left and after passing a cairn descend to the corner of the fence and a wall on the right. Cross the stile and view a “brooding little stretch of water where its dark, peaty surface is constantly being ruffled by the wind blowing through the fellside gap,” as described by Ron Scholes, cartographer, author and friend of Alfred Wainwright. This tarn has recently been named Swarth Fell Tarn as a tribute to Wainwright. 3 Walk uphill alongside a wall on the right passing a small shallow tarn on the left.

POISED several metres above the meadow a kestrel hovers on rapidly quivering wings. Facing directly into a slight breeze, head facing downwards, he constantly adjusts wings and fanned out tail to ensure he remains in exactly the same position relative to the ground, thus enabling him to detect the slightest movement below. After a few seconds he drops a metre, hovers, then drops another metre as if he is being let down on a string. Three metres above ground he closes his wings and plunges into the long grass. Seconds later he flies up with what may be a vole and zooms into the nearest tree to consume his meal. Voles comprise the kestrel’s main diet and he detects their urine trails in the grass which emit ultra-violet rays. Beetles, grasshoppers and a range of insects are also taken. Contrast the kestrel’s hunting method with that of the sparrowhawk.
A kestrel hovers above its prey A master of ambush, he employs a lightning smash and grab approach. He may fly fast and direct at low level across a meadow hoping to put up a feeding flock; speed over a hedge and swoop rapidly down on the other side to catch unwary prey or jink through light woodland, his comparatively short rounded wings having evolved for just such a purpose. Both raptors are consummate hunters in their own right. ALTHOUGH summer is drifting inexorably into autumn, we can still enjoy a wealth of visual delights among the flora and fauna. A notable example is heather, its purple spikes putting on a magnificent display this year. Then there are aural pleasures too. Despite the fact that birdsong is at its minimum now, the robins are beginning to sing their wistful refrains proclaiming territorial rights which they will fiercely defend from now on right into next spring, scrapping with any rivals trying to usurp them.

THE BIG INTERVIEW
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2017
‘I really want to focus on my acting’ Diana Vickers tells John Anson she’s putting her singing career on hold - for the time being
S
HE’S won a West End theatre award, had a number one single and album, appeared in a number of high profile shows around the UK and yet Diana Vickers still feels she has to prove herself. Now 26, the Accringtonborn star admits that to many people she’ll forever be Diana from the X Factor. At just 17, she reached the semi-final of the TV talent show back in 2008. But she’s taking it all in her stride. “I’m older now so I have the self confidence which I need to have because even though I have all this body of work behind me, people do just look to the X Factor,” she said “They don’t see all the work I have done in the past nine years.” Diana’s latest role is in the new musical Son of a Preacher Man, which comes to Manchester’s Palace Theatre later this month. And even in this production, directed by Strictly Come Dancing favourite Craig Revel Horwood, Diana found she was faced with usual preconceptions. “Craig said to me at the start of rehearsals he was thinking, ‘oh Diana, she was in Little Voice and X Factor but can she really act?’” she said. “But I quite like that in a way, I get a kick out of people saying ‘Oh wow, we didn’t think you were that good’. I like surprising them.” In Son of a Preacher Man, Diana plays Kat, a girl who is unlucky in love who goes to the site of a former legendary Sixties nightclub where the Preacher Man would hand out advice to lonely hearts. The club has long gone but his son is now trying to recreate the magical place. The show features the songs of Dusty Springfield. “I get to sing the more uplifting ones like Stay Awhile, I Only Want To Be With You and Son of a Preacher Man,” said Diana. “They are real classics and you just want to do them justice every time you go out there. When you get to sing them you appreciate how
beautiful they are. But this is such a great show to be part of. It is a more intimate show. “It’s not a big jazz handsstyle musical, it’s on a much smaller scale than that and there is some great music and a bit of dancing, which you’d expect, seeing that Craig Revel Horwood has directed it.” Craig, who TV viewers know as being the Mr Nasty of the Strictly judging panel, is, according to Diana, “a big pussycat”! “Craig is so lovely,” she said. “He’s very direct and he tells you how it is but he’s actually quite laid back. Even on tech week which is the hardest week of all when the director usually loses their rag, he was really supportive and quite chilled. “I think that’s because he’s also seen the other side of it as a performer so he knows what you’re going through.” Diana has also enjoyed being involved in a show from its inception. “It’s my favourite when I get to do something new,” she said. “I love that. You
I have a much clearer vision of where I want to get to get to put your own stamp on it. You are creating the role which is very exciting. It’s also a bit nervewracking because you’re not quite sure how people will react to it and whether they will like it. But when we leave the stage every night the audience are on their feet dancing and clapping. It’s getting great reactions.” Son of a Preacher Man also stars Bad Girls and Coronation Street star Debra Stephenson and Ian Reddington, Tricky Dicky in Eastenders. Having spoken to Diana a number of times during her career you can sense she’s far more focused, far more mature than the naive teenager who first won over the judges on X Factor. “Obviously I am older now and things are different,” she said. “I can take more responsibility

SHOWBIZ INSIDER DAISY KINCAID brings you her pick of the week’s celebrity stories
New dad Benedict Cumberbatch has said playing a parent who loses a child was “a very unpleasant place to go to”. The Sherlock actor plays author Stephen Lewis in the BBC One adaptation of Ian McEwan’s awardwinning novel The Child In Time. The book is centred around Lewis and his wife Julie (played by Kelly Macdonald) and their struggle following the loss of their child. He said: “When you’re dealing with something like the loss of a child it’s pretty distressing, I won’t lie. It was a very unpleasant place to go to.” Anna Friel will play the mother of a boy who wishes to live as a girl in a new miniseries called Butterfly. The three-part ITV series will focus on 11-year-old Max, who dresses as a girl at home and makes the decision he no longer wants to hide his identity to the outside world. Butterfly, penned by Tony Marchant will highlight the decisions the family must make to support and protect the boy. Filming begins in Manchester early next year.

I love doing comedy but I also want to do more drama. I just want to learn and get better as an actor.” Although film roles would perhaps increase her profile more, Diana says she will not abandon the theatre. “Oh no,” she said. “I could never not do theatre, I adore it. As for my music, I do enjoy it but I really do want to focus on my acting, I have got this drive to get there. And I want to put all my energy into it and perhaps get that

Radiohead and Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer have collaborated on a song to be featured in a five-minute prequel video for BBC One’s Blue Planet II. Zimmer and the band have worked together on recording an orchestrally re-imagined version of Radiohead’s song Bloom, which originally featured on their 2011 album The King Of Limbs. The new sevenpart series will be broadcast later this year on BBC One .and will be narrated by Sir David Attenborough and scored by Zimmer. Singer-songwriter Seal has said it has been a “lifelong dream” to create his new album, a collection of covers of jazz and swing classics. The soul and R&B star will release Standards on November 10, a homage to artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Nina Simone. He said: “This is the album I have always wanted to make.”

Top chef Nick Cullen is inspired by a walk in the countryside
COCKTAIL CABINET
Raise a glass to wonders of faraway travel
I
DO a lot of walking these days and my rambles often take me into the countryside or to some of the more rural areas in the region. Over the past couple weeks I’ve invariably stumbled upon a few wild blackberry bushes with fruit ripe for the picking. I love blackberries and have good memories of foraging for berries when I was young and taking them back home to be turned into a crumble or pie. Blackberries are popular all over Europe but Britain has a particular liking for them; in fact the act of ‘blackberrying’ is considered to be a seasonal hobby in the UK! Traditional folklore says that you shouldn’t pick blackberries after Michaelmas (September 29), after which time the Devil apparently leaves his stamp on them they become unfit to eat. If you do fancy a bit of blackberry picking head for unpolluted, quiet areas away from the roadside and passing foot-traffic. Be sure to give them a good rinse before eating too. Of course, you could just go to the market and buy some – there are plenty around at this time of year. However, wild blackberries, eaten straight from the bush, taste so much better than anything you’ll ever buy in a supermarket. Blackberries freeze well too so if you have a glut of them just bag them up in portions for a later date. Classic blackberry dishes include good old British crumbles and pies as well as homemade blackberry jam, summer pudding and trifle. Blackberry sauce is also a really nice accompaniment for rich meats like duck and game, adding a certain freshness and a zingy contrast to the meat. Blackberries are also great in smoothies or added to cocktails and fizzy wine. You could even make your own blackberry liqueur by infusing a good quality spirit with the fruit. This dish makes the most of the vibrant fruits and berries of the season. Combining them with warm spices and rich red wine creates a flavoursome autumnal dessert. Serve with a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream for a really decadent dish.

Add the red wine, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and orange to a large saucepan. Heat the liquid until the sugar is dissolved and allow to boil for three minutes. Remove from the heat and add the plums and peach slices. Allow to cool completely before stirring in the berries. Divide between bowls and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Kirstie’s really at home in the kitchen
Tasty tabbouleh is one of Kirstie’s great recipes
TO keep that summer vibe lingering for longer, try Kirstie Allsopp’s recipe for tabbouleh. She may be known for being a property guru but Kirstie’s now turned to her other passion, cooking with her debut cookbook, Kirstie’s Real Kitchen, and this is one of her all-time favourite dishes. She says it’s easy to mix your own spices for the recipe: “Simply use a pinch each of coriander, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg to make a teaspoonful of flavouring.” Tabbouleh (Serves 4) 25g bulgur wheat 50ml boiling water 300g ripe tomatoes 2 large bunches of flat-leaf parsley Small bunch of mint 6 spring onions
3tbsp lemon juice 4tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1tsp mixed ground spices Salt and freshly ground black pepper To serve: At least 8 small Romaine or Little Gem lettuce leaves 4 ready-made flatbreads Put the bulgur wheat in a small bowl and add the boiling water. Stir, then set aside for 20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed. Drain in a sieve to be sure. Meanwhile, use a sharp knife to remove the stalk and hard core from the tomatoes. (You can also skin the tomatoes and remove the seeds if you like, but I don’t usually bother.) Quarter what’s left, then cut into dice and put into a large serving bowl.
Pick the parsley and mint leaves, discarding the stalks or saving them for a stock. Chop the leaves finely, and do the same to the spring onions. Add them all to the tomatoes and mix well. When the bulgur wheat has absorbed all the water, use a fork to fluff it up and separate the grains. Add it to the tomatoes. Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil into the tomato mixture and season to taste with salt, pepper and your chosen spices. Mix well. To serve, arrange the lettuce and flatbreads on four serving plates. Offer the tabbouleh in its bowl and ask people to help themselves, scooping tabbouleh into the leaves. n Kirstie’s Real Kitchen by Kirstie Allsopp, photography by Rita Platts, is published by Hodder & Stoughton, priced £25.
IF you’re fond of a cheeky cocktail that looks good enough to travel halfway round the globe to drink, then Around The World In 80 Cocktails is a first-class find. “Travel has always been a part of the cocktail’s DNA,” says writer and bartender Chad Parkhill. “As travel and commerce have made the world better connected, the world of cocktails has become more diverse.” Here are three of Chad’s recipes for armchair travellers... Flame of Love Martini, Los Angeles, USA By the 1970s, the Dry Martini had wandered a long way from its origins in the martinez (predecessor of the modernday martini). Gin was out, and vodka was in. Ingredients: 60ml vodka, 5ml fino or manzanilla sherry, peel of an orange. Method: Remove the peel from the orange in swathes. Build vodka and sherry in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir to chill. Take a chilled Martini glass and flame all but one of the peel swathes by holding a match between the glass and the peel and squeezing the peel so the orange oils are directed towards the flame and the glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass, flame the last swathe of peel over the drink, and drop this last twist into the drink. Japanese Slipper, Melbourne, Australia Outside of Australia, the Japanese Slipper is regarded as a curiosity: a small footnote in the history of 1980s drinks. Ingredients: 30ml Midori, 30ml Cointreau, 30ml, lemon juice, maraschino cherry, to garnish. Method: Build ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake thoroughly to chill. Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry. Quarantine, Manilla, The Philippines The Philippines has had an outsized impact on the history of mixed drinks. Without the galleon trade route between Manila and Mexico, tequila as we know it might not have existed. Ingredients: 45ml white rum, 7ml gin, 7ml dry vermouth, 7ml lemon juice, 7ml orange juice, 7ml simple syrup, 5ml dry anis or 2 dashes absinthe, 1 egg white, lemon peel to garnish. Method: Build all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Dry shake to fluff up, then add ice and shake until chilled. Double-strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon peel. n Around the World in 80 Cocktails by Chad Parkhill (Hardie Grant Books, £12.99). Illustrations Alice Oehr. Available from Amazon.

Here comes Autumn! I
SOWED a couple of rows of over-wintering peas and broad beans two weeks ago. Sowing broad beans always feels like the beginning of autumn and I could really smell autumn today as I walked down my windswept sodden plot. The smell of autumn is damp leaves, a hint of mushrooms and a bonfire somewhere . . . well it is to me. It’s such a melancholy moment don’t you think? I do love the colours in the leaves, all those yellows and oranges, but I love blue skies and sitting outside nursing a BBQ. Summer, I already miss you - and it isn’t officially autumn until next week. Growing vegetables is like the wheel on our barrow, slowly turning, bringing the seasons and often squeaking! You see, an allotmentier doesn’t celebrate New Year in January we celebrate earlier. Our New Year starts when we begin sowing our broad beans for next spring, which have just started to poke through on my plot! Broad beans which are sown earlier and are over-wintered might not be as huge as the spring sown ones but they don’t suffer from black fly attacks. To be honest, it’s actually rather nice to have something growing over winter too. Otherwise your plot ends up feeling like a huge expanse of sad gloomy soil. Another job I’m looking to do very soon is planting garlic to get nicely established before the frosts start.
Rows of broad beans and winter peas next to the parcel
UK gardeners, as well as birds, are in for a bumper berry haul this month, the Royal Horticultural Society is predicting, thanks to a warm, dry start to the year followed by summer rains. Gardens are displaying a variety of autumn berries including callicarpa, clerodendrum, pyracantha and honeysuckle. So, what colourful berried plants could we be growing in our gardens to bring us a bountiful show of reds, blacks, yellows and purples? Guy Barter, RHS chief horticulturist recommends: Guelder rose (Viburnum opulus) Try this tall native quick-growing deciduous shrub with lobed leaves, reminiscent of an acer, with good autumn colour and masses of translucent red berries following white summer flowers. A particularly lovely yellow
DO IT NOW Be brave with berries
form is also available (Viburnum opulus ‘Xanthocarpum’). Berries hang for weeks but are eventually consumed by birds. It’s not fussy about soil or site and can even tolerate shade, and works as a stand-alone shrub, or in groups, or as part of a lightly pruned informal native hedge. Clerodendrum trichotomum var. fargesii This moderately fast-growing medium-to-large deciduous shrub produces sweet-smelling white summer flowers followed by the startlingly turquoise berries, encased in a red ear-like calyces. There is even a variegated culti-
var: Clerodendrum trichotomum var. fargesii ‘Carnival’. Any soil suits clerodendrum except the driest ones, but it does need at least partial sun. Suckers (shoots from the roots) often form, which can be dug up and given to gardening friends. Skimmia japonica These slow-growing evergreen medium-size shrubs are widely sold in autumn as they are particularly valuable in winter bedding and container displays. Male and female plants are separate, so a female and a male plant is required although hermaphrodites are offered. Skimmia japonica ‘Nymans’ carries abundant red berries that last deep into winter. Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella’ is a widely sold male with bright red flower buds. Moist soils or potting composts suit them well and they prefer shade to hot places and especially relish shady patio containers.

VIX’S LOT
Expert advice on allotment gardening with Vix Robinson
Garlic really does like a frost to give it some extra flavour, but find a spot that drains well or it will rot. I might be feeling sad about the end of summer, but at least I can look forward to those broad beans next spring. If I get the chance I must turn over the compost heap before it starts getting cold and if the compost is ready, I will spread it around the plot. It feeds the soil and when the frosts hit will protect the bases of artichokes etc. But be careful with your fork, as there could be toads hiding in there, I learnt the hard way and ending up crying for two hours . . . poor toad!
My allotment to do list:
n Sow another row of broad beans. n Prepare a bed for garlic. n Make a place to store autumn leaves.

eptember is to the summer what January is to Christmas, i.e. the month when we resolve to repair all the damage done by a sustained stint of overeating and abandoning our exercise plans. Getting back on the fitness track can be an arduous task, but the Second New Year has two major advantages: First, it’s not utterly freezing outside, so going for a morning run isn’t quite so depressing, and second, all the autumn/ winter sportswear collections have arrived, so you can treat yourself to some kit to boost your morale.

Richard Jones explores the many attractions to be found in America’s North East
T
HERE are three things that I love about Boston and Massachusetts – the sport, the history and the food. It is home to some of America’s most successful baseball, football, basketball and hockey teams, there are countless sites of US historical significance and its fresh seafood dishes are unrivalled anywhere around the world. After visiting Boston, the majority of tourists tend to head south to the honey traps of Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. However, my wife Rachel and I made a beeline for the lesserknown Cape Ann north of the city, where we found adventure, culture and a few seafood surprises. New England is just six hours from the UK, and thanks to Norwegian’s low-cost route from Gatwick to Boston Logan, the transatlantic trip can be both inexpensive and comfortable. We arrived in Boston on a steamy Saturday evening, and checked into our hotel for the next two nights, the swish Hotel Commonwealth. The next day we explored Boston. The best way of getting around the so-called Walking City is via the Freedom Trail – a 2.5mile-long red brick path that takes in 16 of its major historical sites, including Massachusetts State House, Site of the Boston Massacre and Faneuil Hall. The trail also passes by the front of Union Oyster House – the oldest restaurant in America and a favourite haunt of JFK. The next day, we picked up our hire car from a Hertz pick-up point and headed up the US-1 and MA-128 bound for Cape Ann. Our first stop was the magnificent Great House on the Crane Estate in Ipswich which was the summer retreat of Chicago industrialist Richard T Crane Jr and used in the 1987 film The Witches of Eastwick. Cape Ann is made up from five towns, and as we drove the through a second, Essex, we stumbled upon a seafood surprise. Over 100 years ago, Lawrence ‘Chubby’ Woodman fried up a few clams on the side of the road as a way of making a few cents.

During the hour-long Liberty Ride trolley bus trip with a costumed guide, we learned about the events of April 19, 1775, when the ‘shot that was heard around the world’ changed everything. In the afternoon, we visited two very different but equally fascinating houses. Firstly, the home of influential architect Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus design school, and then the Louisa May Alcott Orchard House which was the longtime home of the Little Women author. Then, last but certainly not least, we headed to The Inn Hastings Park, a boutique property just footsteps away from Lexington’s revered Battle Green.

Skoda calls it ‘Greentech’, and the eco-friendly equipment was to be found on Weekend Wheels’ latest road-test car, a Citigo SE L fivedoor. With a combined fuel consumption of 68.9mpg and C02 emissions of 96g/km (manufacturer’s figures) the numbers add up to praiseworthy frugality … and – with clean lines,

nimble handling, and an airy cabin – plenty of fun. The car has had a freshen-up this year, with design features including a new front section with re-designed bonnet, bumpers, fog lights and radiator grille. The interior is a model of neat, uncluttered, design. There’s an immediately coherent instrument cluster, with substantial-feeling minor controls And Skoda’s designers have pulled off a Tardislike trick in making the diminutive car feel spacious. The only drawback room-wise is a
boot that is limited to the likes of shopping or weekend bags . But, with the rear seat-back dropped, there is much more usable space. Features include acoustic rear parking sensors, electrically heated and adjustable door mirrors,

leather trim for multi-function steering wheel, handbrake lever cover and gear-shift, air conditioning, Bluetooth and radio with colour display, aux-in, SD card and USB socket, smartphone holder, and heat-insulating glass
for side and rear windows, On the safety front, you will find the likes of a tyre pressure monitoring system, front-side airbags, to supplement those for driver and front-seat passenger, and electronic stability control. The driving experience is pleasant, with sufficient punch from the 75bhp three-cylinder petrol engine, so the car acquits itself well enough on the motorway as well as tootling around town. Top speed is 107mph, with 0-62mph in 13.5 seconds. Ride is exemplary for a small car, soaking up poor road surfaces well. There is no shortage of ‘city cars’, with offerings from the likes of Hyundai, Kia, Citroen, Peugeot and Toyota but the Citigo more than holds its own in this company. Price: (inc special paint and space-saver spare wheel), £11,835.

1387:
The future Henry V of England was born in Monmouth Castle in Wales. ‘’Bluff’’ Prince Hal became a ruthless king who fought two bloody campaigns which came to a climax at Agincourt. In 1422 he died unheroically of dysentery at the French Castle of Vincennes.
1620:
The 101 Pilgrim Fathers set sail from Plymouth in the Mayflower, captained by Myles Standish.
1847:
The United Shakespeare Company bought the house in which Shakespeare was born at Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire for £3,000. It was the first building in Britain to be officially preserved.
1861: 1908:
The Post Office Savings Bank was instituted.
WE do not feature this part of Bolton town centre very often so thought it might be interesting to do so today. This is St George’s Road in a picture taken in April, 1984. At the time the Bolton Civic Trust had organised a “bold new venture” to help brighten up what was
From The Bolton News, September 16, 2007
TRANSPORT secretary Ruth Kelly is considering allowing smokers to light up on railway stations. The Bolton West MP has asked officials to put forward plans for limited smoking areas on platforms. It follows letters sent to Ms Kelly from passengers and MPs moaning that platforms are open air, nonenclosed zones. The Department of Health, however, said: “Our private polls show the majority oppose any weakening of the ban.” Any chance of pushing the relaxation of the rules for stations is also likely to be opposed by Network Rail. It continues to support the ban and says it “puts the interests of all customers first” so it is unlikely to agree to this.
described as one of the busiest approaches to the town centre. The trust had formed a limited company, registered as a charity, to act as the catalyst in a big clean up of 100-year-old rows of shops and business premises either side of St George’s Road between the old Royal
From the Evening News, September 16, 1992
BOLTON Council could take legal action against a developer for failing to finish an executive housing estate. The authority is considering whether to launch a civil suit against Regency Developments for not completing roads and pavements on the Redwood estate in Westhoughton. The move follows a vigorous campaign by residents on the luxury 50 home estate. They claim the Horwich based firm has repeatedly ignored its own deadlines to restart the work. Bolton West MP Tom Sackville has been backing the residents’ campaign and he welcomed the news. He said: “I think it is absolutely scandalous the way these residents have been treated.”

From the Evening News, September 16, 1967
PLANS have been made to set up a sailing club on farmland at Chapeltown, Bromley Cross despite the fact that there’s no water there to sail on. The only water close to the site is in a tiny stream. But the man behind the scheme, farmer Mr Clifford Hill, of Grange Farm, has his eye on the future and that is the day when the land will be flooded to make way for the massive Jumbles reservoir project. His land is at one end of the proposed reservoir. The Turton Planning and Parks Committee is being recommended to approve the application subject to certain conditions including tree and shrub planting. Mr Hill does not own a boat of his own but says he has sailed and believes there is a demand.

From the Evening News, September 16, 1942
IF the people who do the publicity of “stay at home holidays” really did their job they would instead of shouting “stay at home and save transport” say warningly “stay at home and save time, money and temper” so says our correspondent. On Sunday morning last I saw a train leave Trinity Street for Blackpool so full that had the sides bulged any more it couldn’t have got through the tunnels. Think of all the pretty damsels who got up early so they could sally forth like something from “Glamorous Night”. After a trip on that train they must have looked more like the “Morning After”. I went to another seaside resort and even in peace time the residents of this particular resort were miserable.
The American car firms Buick and Oldsmobile merged to form General Motors.
1945:
John McCormack, lyrical Irish tenor, died in Dublin. ‘’I have hung up my harp, all my songs are sung,’’ he is reported to have written just before he died.
1946:
Have A Go began on the Light Programme, with Wilfred Pickles and his wife as Mabel at the table. Pickles started each programme by saying, ‘’How do, ‘Ow are yer?’’ The show ran for more than 20 years.
1963:
Malaysia became independent - and a mob celebrated by burning down the British embassy.
2016:
The Duke of Cambridge spoke out about the pressures facing young children — after coming to the aid of a dignitary who fell flat on his back.

Keep sprightly seniors moving SOCIAL care is an employment sector that just keeps getting busier. Longer life expectancy means the number of older people in society has reached record highs.While many are fit and active, there will always be some who need additional help. There are drives to persuade people to stay active so they are better able to care for themselves and research shows it’s never too late to get moving. Even taking up exercise in your 90s can have
considerable health benefits and increasingly GPs are turning to activity prescribing – sending patients for a course of workouts at a local gym instead of to the nearest pharmacy for pills. Yet whatever t he healt h outcomes, there will still be those for whom living at home will only be possible if carers provide daily help. And it takes a special person to provide this. You have to be able to assess a situation and know when to call for additional help.

THE St Leger is the highlight on a cracking card from Doncaster this afternoon with 10 colts and the filly Coronet going to post for the oldest classic in the world. The race is likely to be run on ground just on the soft side of good with no further rain forecast in South Yorkshire. Frankie Dettori has ridden the winner of the Leger on five previous occasions and it is interesting the Italian could have partnered John Gosden’s Goodwood Cup winner Stradivarius, but sees him playing second fiddle to stablemate Coronet, who will certainly appreciate the step up in trip beyond 12 for the first time today. Both Gosden inmates have sound chances, as does Irish Derby winner Capri, but my two against the field are Defoe and Crystal Ocean (3.35pm) with marginal preference for the latter. The selection (4/1 with BetVictor) won the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood in the manner of a progressive colt and he can give Sir Michael Stoute just his second winner of the race. Defoe (5/1 at BetVictor) has done this column more than one favour so far this season and the Roger Variantrained colt is open to further improvement now that he tackles this extended mile-and-three-quarters.

The last four market leaders have won the group two Champagne stakes and Mythical Magic (3pm) is BetVictor’s 5/2 market leader to make it five in a row for Charlie Appleby and James Doyle, who takes over in the saddle. Appleby saddled the winner of this corresponding race in 2013 and 2015 and I will be disappointed if this unbeaten colt doesn’t go very close. Note the colt is currently 33/1with BetVictor for the 2018 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket in the spring. The ITV cameras are also at Chester, where the feature is the listed race over a mile-and-a-half. Across The Stars has been too keen to do himself justice, including at Windsor last time out in his first-time hood. Stoute perseveres with the headgear this afternoon and he must go close but Duretto returns from a four-month lay-off, having run well over today’s course when third in the group three Ormonde Stakes at the May meeting. If there is further rain at Lingfield then I suggest we swerve Perla Blanca (2.30pm), but I feel she has been crying out for a step up in trip and Marcus Tregoning looks to have found an excellent opportunity – if she can handle ground, which is currently described as soft. Give And Take (3.05pm) can make it third-time lucky for William Haggas, having finished runner-up in both her career starts to date. The Godolphin newcomer Lunar Maria looks the obvious danger and a check of the market is advised.

Morgan wants a win spin-off
n Victory can help England find consistent touch
ENGLAND one-day captain Eoin Morgan thinks victory against West Indies in today’s T20 international will help his young side improve their consistency. The day/night match at the Riverside Ground in Durham is the two countries’ only match in the shortest format of the game before the five-match One Day International series kicks off next week. England won the Test series 2-1 following a somewhat surprising West Indies’ victory in the second meeting at Headingley, but Morgan expects a stronger showing from the tourists at Chester-le-Street. “They probably have a bit more experience (than their Test squad) which is great,” he said. “We want to play against the best possible side available to play in order to try and improve our game. “We’re a very young side and we have a long way to go in T20 cricket.” Morgan pinpointed his concern about England’s unpredictability when it comes to their performances when he continued in an interview with Sky Sports HQ: “Our consistency levels have been up and down so it’s all to play for tomorrow.” Hard-hitting batsman Chris Gayle is set to return to the West Indies line-up in the game, something which is sure to focus the minds of the England bowlers.
ALL SMILES: England’s Eoin Morgan, left, and Tom Curran in relaxed mood during the nets session at Durham yesterday And Morgan thinks batting is where their strength lies – although he believes that is also the key for England. “It’s one of their
strengths,” he said of West Indies’ batting. “It’s probably one of our strengths as well. It’s going to be a really exciting game.”
Bolton duo Parkinson and Hameed shine as Red Rose title hopes dashed BOLTON spin bowler Matt Parkinson took his match wicket haul to seven yesterday but was unable to prevent Lancashire losing at Somerset as their County Championship title hopes were ended. Somerset needed just over an hour of the final day to wrap up a seven-wicket victory at Taunton and confirm Essex as county champions for 2017.
Needing a victory to keep their faint title hopes alive, the visitors lost their last two wickets for 22 runs as Craig Overton sent back Kyle Jarvis and Tom Bailey. Lancashire’s total of 269, including 62 from Bolton’s Haseeb Hameed, left Somerset needing just 68 to ease their fears of Second Division cricket next season. They lost Eddie
Byrom, Marcus Trescothick and James Hildreth, all to leg-spinner Parkinson, in reaching the target, but still took 22 points from a convincing win to Lancashire’s three. When Tom Abell hit the winning boundary the Championship race was decided and the second relegation spot thrown wide open. Two games ago Somerset looked
dead and buried, but successive victories have altered the picture dramatically. Parkinson’s twin brother Callum also produced a standout performance in his Leicestershire side’s defeat to Worcestershire in the Second Division. He took a careerbest 10-wicket match haul with 8-148 in the first innings and 2-37 in the second.

MAN UNITED
Jose: ‘Legend’ Rooney will get good reception By Simon Peach
boltonsport@nqnw.co.uk
WAYNE Rooney will be welcomed as a “real legend” when he returns to Old Trafford this weekend, according to Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho. England’s record goalscorer left United to return to boyhood club Everton this summer after 13 successful years with the Red Devils. Rooney, who since returning to Merseyside has retired from international football, is also the highest scorer in United’s history and tomorrow returns to the club where he scored a record 253 goals in 559 appearances. Mourinho expects the Old Trafford faithful to show the 31-year-old the appreciation he deserves, but the United boss hopes supporters put that welcome on hold during the match. “I think that he will get the welcome that he deserves,” the Portuguese said. “I think sometimes in this country the word ‘legend’ comes too easily. That’s not his case, he’s a real legend of the club. “The number of appearances, the number of goals, the number of trophies
– I think clearly he’s one of the most important players in the history of Manchester United. “And I think the stadium will show him that respect that he deserves, I hope before the match and after the match, not during the match.” Everton arrive at Old Trafford looking to end a miserable run of form. Ronald Koeman’s men have conceded eight goals in defeats to Chelsea, Tottenham and Atalanta, with that threematch losing streak the tailend of a five-game winless run. While Everton have threats in their armoury, they know better than anyone what a handful Romelu Lukaku will pose. Signed from the Toffees for an initial £75million over the summer, the Belgium striker has netted six goals in as many games in a seamless start to life at United. “I think he came to us at the right moment – (at) a good age, (with a) good number of years of experience in different clubs in the Premier League,” Mourinho added. “Clearly he is a player who has adapted to the Premier League, with good friends already in this dressing room, with an easy integration.”
MAN CITY
Pep talk on importance of beating the minnows PEP Guardiola feels Manchester City must win games like tomorrow’s at Watford to prove they can join the European elite. City opened their Champions League campaign with an emphatic 4-0 victory at Feyenoord in midweek, an impressive display that came just four days after a 5-0 hammering of Liverpool. But Guardiola’s men won just two of the six Premier League games that immediately followed a Champions League group game last season and the City boss feels his team must cope better with tough schedules. Guardiola said: “It will be a demanding game, especially coming just three days later. “With the trip back to Manchester, now travelling to London, there’s not too many hours for regeneration. “We have to handle that if we want to become a good team in the next years, when one team have one week to prepare and we don’t have the time. In these situations we have to try to win. “When that situation happens we will be on the path to being a good team.” Watford have made an impressive start to the season under new manager Marco Silva, collecting eight points

and remaining unbeaten in their first four games. Guardiola said: “Watford are just two points behind us, they made an amazing start. They didn’t lose one game. “I was so impressed with their performance against Southampton. They completely dominated the game. “They have fast players, new players and a good manager.” Captain Vincent Kompany is unlikely to return but is now back in training after a calf injury, while Guardiola said on the prospect of Yaya Toure being involved: “We will see. “I need him, the team needs him. He was so important last season and he’ll be so important this season. “He is part of the group. In the last games he was not in the squad but of course he is going to help us.” Guardiola admitted City may not be able to prevent Real Madrid snapping up highly-rated youngster Brahim Diaz who signed a three-year professional contract with City last year. Guardiola said: “We want him but today the market is the market, the wishes from the clubs, maybe we cannot control it.”

Why the end of embargo won’t mean a free-for-all
n Wanderers
still under EFL’s watchful eye for the foreseeable ANYONE expecting Phil Parkinson to go on a big shopping spree now Wanderers are finally out of embargo is going to be disappointed. We all rejoiced this week when the club confirmed it was free of the restrictions which had been in place for 630 miserable days – but the EFL’s lack of public acknowledgement spoke volumes. Not wanting to cast myself as the gloommonger – once again – but the league is clearly still keeping a watchful eye on financial matters at the Macron Stadium and it might still be some time before the club can operate completely unrestrained. Firstly, let’s congratulate Ken Anderson, Paul Aldridge and co for clearing the mess they inherited to get us this far. They have had to put up with brickbats during this whole process – sometimes unfairly – so credit where credit is due. Such was the complicated web of embargoes and special measures Wanderers found themselves under, however, there is still work to be done before the EFL’s finger is removed completely from the button. They will want to see things running smoothly in the short term, and that means the days of late bills and winding-up orders have to be left in the dim and distant past. Anderson has worked hard enough to deserve a shot at running things his way. He has brought an obscene wage bill under some sort of control and with that in mind I cannot see the club overstretching themselves to sign free agents just because they can. Parkinson is realistic. He knows his squad could benefit from one or two squad players but there are no outstanding candidates out there. Joey O’Brien would be an interesting addition. He is experienced, he knows the club and his versatility would be a big asset. Julio Baptista would be a great story but the Brazilian still has plenty
Going global is now paying off for ambitious Whites By Marc Iles
marc.iles@nqnw.co.uk
WANDERERS’ efforts to spread the club’s word world-wide are starting to bear fruit. The International Football Programme has reported a significant increase in the number of foreignbased teams looking for link-ups in the past 12 months, resulting in a brand new revenue stream for the club. Business has been booming at the Whites Hotel as the calibre of sporting organisations continues to improve. Prestige guests at the Macron in the past 12 months include the German Under-21 team and Saudi Arabian giants Al-Ittihad. Wanderers have exported their coaching talents abroad and, in turn, brought international clubs back to the Macron to sample what life around a professional EFL side is really like. The exchanges have also led to personal invitations for some of the best players to come back and participate in the Elite Pro Club Experience – a nine-day elite course designed to replicate the experience of training at a professional club in a multi-cultural environment. This year’s EPCE will be held from October 21-29 and will feature players from Australia, Canada, Italy, Qatar, Poland and the United States but plans are afoot to diversify and tap into the footballing markets of India, China, Kenya, West Africa and South Africa in the next couple of years ahead. Although organisers are careful not

NEW LEASE: Alex Perry, pictured on the ball, can play without restriction for Wanderers after the embargo was removed of questions to answer on whether the bottom end of the Championship is really where he wants to be playing his football at the age of 35. Lots of Wanderers fans have made the assumption the removal of transfer restrictions, and in particular that bizarre £4,500-a-week salary cap, would pave the way for a move for Jay Spearing. I can’t fathom why the former Bolton skipper is still without a club but both Parkinson and Anderson have claimed Wanderers have “moved on” in recent weeks, so it will be interesting if current developments make them change their mind. In my opinion, for
what it is worth, there are not many better players out there for nowt. The best thing to emerge from Thursday’s announcement is something that won’t cost
Had it gone on much longer we may have had to call for Mulder and Scully Wanderers a red cent. Alex Perry, Jeff King, Jake Turner and Conor Hall can function as normal footballers again now that the unfathomable rules do not restrict them
to Under-23s duties. They can be loaned out and they can work hard and push for a place in Parkinson’s squad, just like any other young footballer with hopes of a proper career. Through 90 weeks of this curious, mysterious process, there were questions it seemed no-one – not the club, nor the EFL – could answer. Had it gone on much longer we may have had to call for Mulder and Scully. How did they arrive at the £4,500-a-week salary cap, and why was it hoisted on Parkinson’s squad midway through the summer? Why should young players on a professional
contract be prevented from being loaned out? And what is the harm in being allowed to play them in EFL cup competitions designed, they say, to increase chances for homegrown talent? Thankfully we no longer have to torment ourselves. Provided Wanderers is run efficiently from here on in we might look forward to a January window where Parkinson can finally select from the thicker end of the wedge. Bolton fans are not expecting millions to be spent; most of us just want to put our accounting textbooks away.
to bill it as a trial, they feel it is a way of monitoring young international talents which may have otherwise slipped through the net. “If in the course of the EPCE we see a player we like, it may be we can take a look at them alongside the academy players, or keep tabs on them after they go back to their club. It’s a costeffective way of scouting,” says IFP coach Danny Clarke. The IFP is now working closely with academy chief Jimmy Phillips and has been able to draw on some of the club’s top coaches, including Julian Darby, for their camps abroad. “To have someone of Jimmy’s calibre is great for us,” said Clarke. “He has spoken to our clients and given them a really honest insight into his career and what it is like working at a professional club like Bolton Wanderers. It’s a completely unique environment.” The IFP has also been given some ringing endorsements from former Wanderers like Stuart Holden – who celebrated the fact Bolton was out in force at the recent APC Premier Cup in Washington DC. Ivan Klasnic is also due in town in October with a team comprised mainly of German-born Croatians. The next step, however, will be a long trip to Queensland next week with Clarke and his team heading out to the Sunshine Coast to deliver coaching sessions, which could be expanded to Melbourne in the future.

Wanderers through the ages What happened on this week in history
55
Stepping back in time with the Super Whites
REMEMBER WHEN – A young Bolton star went back to school
1972: Jimmy Armfield’s Wanderers, fresh from a 2-0 beating of Plymouth
Argyle, were starting to look the real deal in Division Three thanks in no small part to consistency of selection. With a trip to Grimsby in the offing, Armfield received positive fitness reports on Ralph Wright and Paul Jones and duly named an unchanged line-up for the sixth game in a row. Meanwhile, Wyn Davies, the centreforward who made his name with Bolton Wanderers before hitting the European heights in the number nine shirt with Newcastle United, became one of the rarest of breeds when he was transferred between the two Manchester clubs.
1997: Five points from five games and third bottom of the Premier League,
Wanderers had hardly made the most impressive start to their return to the top flight. And a 4-1 hammering at Arsenal did little to boost confidence. But manager Colin Todd was expecting to cut through the remnants of red tape that had delayed the completion of the signing of South Africa central defender Mark Fish from Lazio and was far from downhearted. “It’s a long season,” he said. “There is no reason to be alarmed by just one bad result.”
Name the player THIS week’s delve into The Bolton News picture archives has uncovered this gem of long-time Wanderer Jimmy Phillips in the (very) early stage of his Bolton career. Taken way back in November 1986 the young defender is pictured back at his old school Canon Slade displaying his dribbling skills to youngsters from St Columba’s RC Primary School in Bolton at a Lancashire FA coaching course for primary schoolchildren. The initiative was aimed at teaching youngsters soccer skills and, according to the caption on the back of the photograph, “the best aspects of the game which are often forgotten”.

EACH week we ask you to name a former Wanderers player. A little warning though... we like to make it difficult so don’t expect any famous faces. Here’s an old one that should test your ability to identify Bolton players of yesteryear. The answer will appear next next week.
Last week’s answer THE photograph featured in last week’s Name The Player section was of Andy Todd taken in a game played in August 1998

WANDERERS make the trip to Ipswich Town today in need of points as they struggle at the bottom end of the Championship. And another result like the one from this game would do very nicely. Bolton’s legendary defender Gudni Bergsson is pictured celebrating after putting the Whites 1-0 up at Portman Road in November 2001, a lead that was doubled on 25 minutes by Michael Ricketts before Matt Holland scored the final goal of the game for Ipswich on the stroke of half time.

PHIL Parkinson admits the timing of Wanderers’ emergence from transfer embargo could hardly be better as his side face Ipswich Town this afternoon. News of the EFL’s decision to relax restrictions has been greeted with widespread relief at the Macron but nowhere more so than on the team coach heading for Portman Road. Parkinson is not expecting a shopping spree now he is allowed to operate unencumbered but could bring in a couple of free agents before the January window to give him more flexibility within his squad.

as well, it’s a really positive step.” The Bolton Wanderers Supporters’ Trust also tweeted its congratulations yesterday, posting: “The Supporters’ Trust would like to congratulate Ken Anderson and [board advisor] Paul Aldridge for getting the transfer embargo lifted. “Hopefully this could well be the boost the club needs to kick-start our season. Onwards and upwards.” Wanderers have also been boosted with the news that Sammy Ameobi will return

Barber planning Bolton academy FORMER Wanderers goalkeeping coach Fred Barber has plans to open a permanent academy in Bolton. Weekly coaching sessions will be held from this month to help young players aged eight to 18 develop their skills. The first event will be held at Westhoughton Leisure Centre on Friday, followed by another on Thursday, September 28 at Ladybridge FC. Barber was instrumental in launching top goalkeeping careers for the likes of Jussi Jaaskelainen, Ali Al-Habsi, Adam Bogdan, Tomasz Kuszczak and Raphel Spiegel and his popular courses have been held for several years across the north west. He was recently joined by Jaaskelainen for a training camp for aspiring young stoppers at Westhoughton Leisure Centre, with 50 talented youngsters from across the region learning from the ex-Wanderers number one on the day. Coach Barber will be assisted by current Crewe Alexandra shot-stoppers Dave Richards and Ben Garratt and ex-Hartlepool keeper Jonathan Barber at the academy. Run in conjunction with the Pro Soccer Academy, places can be booked by calling Mark on 07736 354 637 or emailing coachme@pro-soccercoaching.academy

to full training next week, with a view to being included in the squad to face Brentford at home. The winger has been out of action since pre-season with a knee injury but resumed light training last week and stayed behind yesterday to work with the Under-23s at Lostock. Will Buckley’s hamstring injury is also not as bad as first feared, with scans showing only minor damage after he limped out of the 1-0 midweek defeat to Sheffield United.
