BWFCISS recently welcomed Roseburn Colts U17's to the Reebok Stadium for a 2 day Team Visit. The Team stayed for 1 night in the De Vere Whites 4* Hotel located within the Stadium itself where the they could enjoy all of the great facilities it has on offer. There itinerary seen them take part in 2 x 2 hour training sessions with our Football Studies Programme Leader and Coach James Ward, James also took them on a behind the scences tour of the stadium before they played a game against our Reebok Football Academy Coaches who were in on a weeks Training Course with BWFCISS Manger and Head Coach Dave Bailey.
While staying in the hotel Roseburn Colts got a special opportunity to meet Bolton Wanderers Manager Owen Coyle, the lads got to ask questions, get autographs and were even taken pitchside to have a group photo.
Roseburn Colts Coach Dougie Neave emailed to say;
"Just a short note to thank you and the rest of the guys for our fantastic 2 days at Bolton.
Big thank you to Nicola for organising and making us so welcome, to James for getting the lads buzzing and giving them 2 coaching sessions and a stadium tour they won't forget (cracking lad!!!), to everyone at the hotel and to yourself for laying on the game at short notice.
We have been at Newcastle, Man Utd and the Ajax Arena but by far this was the best yet. Great atmosphere around the club, looks like Mr Coyle has been a breath of fresh air to everyone .
Can you give a big thank you to Owen for taking time out for pictures with the lads, we should see them on Soccer AM within next couple of weeks!!!"
