League Cup — Away to Tranmere Rovers
A trip to The Wirral for Bolton Wanderers who been drawn against Tranmere Rovers in the League Cup.
Tranmere Rovers booked their place in the second round of the competition by beating Grimsby Town 4–0.
The exact date for the tie is yet to be announced but it will take place the week beginning August 24th at Prenton Park.
There has been rivalry between the two clubs since the early 90s when Tranmere beat Bolton by a single goal at Wembley in the play–offs for a place in the Second Division. In 2000 Tranmere beat The Trotters 4–0 over two legs for a place in the final of the League Cup.
The last time they met was at The Reebok Stadium for a reply in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup (2004). Once again Tranmere were winners (2–1) after The Wanderers had forced the replay by drawing 1–1 at Prenton Park.
Although early in the cup competition this fixture promises to be quite battle as Bolton will be eager to beat their old adversaries and make progress towards a very distant piece of silverware.
