Pulsar Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) There are many thoughts around the name Bolton and how it came to be but the one that seems to have the main significance is that the name is derived from its situation 'bowel town' http://www.thebestof...ticle029649.htm "Their nickname is the Trotters as their former ground was near a pig farm and the stray balls kept ending up in the pig pen. Rival fans sometimes call 'em the pigs and shout 'die die, piggy piggy, die!' Edited September 16, 2012 by Pulsar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
