Away Fans' Guide | Bolton Wanderers
Argyle travel to the University of Bolton Stadium looking for a fifth successive victory in Sky Bet League One.
With both of their nearest rivals, Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town, in Emirates FA Cup action this weekend, the fixture presents an opportunity for the Greens to build a seven point gap at the top of the division, and go nine points clear of the play-off places.
However, Steven Schumacher and his squad will be fully aware that their opposition will provide stiff competition, with Ian Evatt's side firmly in the promotion hunt themselves.

Payment options:
ANPR cameras have now been installed across all Stadium car parks which work in tandem with Parking Eye’s secure portal www.parkgood2go.com.
Bolton Wanderers primarily encourages supporters and other visitors to utilise www.parkgood2go.com for match day payments. The portal allows users to register their number plate and payment details and once registered, the ANPR cameras will recognise the number plate as the vehicle enters into the stadium car park and payment will automatically be taken.
The vehicle will then be recognised every time it enters the car parks – so there’s no need to register and pay every time or to visit a kiosk to make payment.
PayByPhone app
Payment can also be made via the PayByPhone app, which is available to download for free on mobile phones. The app is easy to use and payment can be made at any time up until midnight on the day of parking. Supporters and other visitors can also pay via the PayByPhone website or by calling 0330 400 7275.
Please click here for more information on how to pay via PayByPhone.
Please note that unlike the www.parkgood2go.com online portal, supporters will need to make payment via PayByPhone every time they enter the car parks.
Pay via car park kiosk
In addition to the above options, supporters can also simply make a contactless card payment via one of the payment kiosks that will be in place in all car parks. Payment must be made on departure.
