Will Bolton’s Long Wait for League Win Over County Continue?

Stockport had a fine 2024-25 season under the popular Dave Challinor, finishing third behind Birmingham City and Wrexham. County collected an impressive 87 points after 25 wins, 12 draws, and nine defeats.

Unfortunately for Challinor and his men, Stockport were beaten in the League One play-offs by Leyton Orient. The teams drew 3-3 on aggregate, but the London club won 4-1 on penalties to book their place in the Wembley Stadium final.

Bolton missed out on the play-offs by ten points last season. By their high standards, the Trotters had a disappointing campaign, winning 20, losing 18, and drawing eight to finish in eighth position.

Having arrived at the Toughsheet Community Stadium in January, Steven Schumacher has had time to settle in Bolton. The fight for promotion will be fascinating this term, and Wanderers could be a dark horse.
