Bolton v Ipswich game to go ahead

    The match at Bolton Wanderers ground against Ipswich Town is set to go ahead this weekend.

    The region’s Safety Advisory Group (SAG) had issued a ban on fans entering the University of Bolton Stadium for their next two home games.

    "The club has been able to reassure us that they are able to host the game in a safe manner," said an SAG statement.

    BBC Radio Manchester is reporting that club and matchday staff have now been paid their March salaries.

    However, it is understood the players and coaching staff have still to be paid - but will return to training on Thursday following a 48-hour strike on Monday in support of the club's workers.
