“Due to a critical failure of the stadium’s IT system, Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship match against Ipswich Town at the University of Bolton Stadium is in doubt,” read a statement on the club’s official website.“Engineers will be working through the night to resolve this issue and the club will provide an update at the earliest available opportunity.”SAG, comprised of representatives of the local council, police and emergency services, lifted their notice after Bolton managed to “reassure” them over safety issues. Bolton were given the go-ahead to stage matches at their stadium until the end of the season, but Saturday’s game could now fall victim to technical problems.The club’s home match against Millwall last month was placed in doubt due to safety concerns after staff, including stewards and turnstile operators, were not paid their February wages on time, but the game did go ahead.Bolton are desperately seeking to complete a club takeover in time to fend off a winding-up petition over an unpaid tax bill.They were granted a further stay of execution by the High Court on Wednesday when controversial former Watford chairman Laurence Bassini was confirmed as the club’s prospective buyer.
