WELCOME back to The Buff’s annual League One prediction extravaganza – and who we think will be riding high or sinking low this season.

Soothsayers Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt take out their crystal ball to see who will be struggling at Burton on windy Tuesday night, and which clubs will be on the beach by April.

The boys analyse some of the big headlines at Bolton Wanderers from the week and analyse the final pre-season friendly against Huddersfield Town.

There is a game-by-game breakdown of the summer to see what has gone right and what has gone wrong for Ian Evatt and his squad.

But most importantly we give our 1-24 predictions, safe in the knowledge that the podcast will be clipped and thrown back in our faces by fans of the clubs who exceed our expectations!

This season we’ll be running a special Fantasy Football League for listeners of The Buff – and will be dishing out monthly prizes, plus recruiting some special guests to play against from the world of Wanderers.

IT'S that time of the week where Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt thumb through all the Bolton Wanderers headlines and bring you the details behind every story.

Yes, it's The Buff Podcast. And on this week's show we build up to the final pre-season friendly against Huddersfield Town by weighing up the pros and cons of the summer so far.

We channel our inner Ian Evatt and see if we can already pick his team to beat Ipswich Town on the opening day of the season. 

Of course we investigate the Carlisle United defeat, and the B Team's inauspicious start, and Evatt's heatwave comments which seem to have caught a few people's attention. 

But most of all we fish through the minutiae of Wanderers life: Ponder what cocktails might be served at the FanZone bar, what Disney film Medo Kamara might like, and why Henry knows so much about Darren Pratley and ice cream.

There's also a Nat Lofthouse quiz and your emails on iFollow in a bumper episode that is bound to whet the appetite for the final dress rehearsal this weekend.

WELCOME to another episode of The Buff Podcast as we continue the countdown to the start of the League One season.

Marc and Henry sift through the details of friendlies against Wigan Athletic and Watford plus the debut of the B Team at Atherton Colls.

We flick through the sports pages of The Bolton News to talk about the big Wanderers stories of the week including the departure of Ronan Darcy to Swindon Town, the weird rumour about Wrexham and Declan John and the latest transfer news from the UniBol.

We read out some of our reader emails and then dig into Marc’s extensive archive of programmes to pick some of the best player Q&As and do a half-time quiz from 2015.

WELCOME to another edition of The Buff Podcast, as Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt take you through another week of pre-season, and a week closer to the big kick-off in League One.

The lads peek through the long grass at Chorley and see how Ian Evatt’s side is getting on – then we grab the binoculars and suss out how the Whites went on behind closed doors against Stockport.

The accounts are out, so Marc and Henry discuss whether there are any major concerns, and also point in the direction of Kieran Maguire’s Price of Football Podcast for some proper analysis.

We’ll be going through our listener emails – with a set piece complaint, a comment of bringing back women’s football to Bolton Wanderers and a point on safe standing at the University of Bolton Stadium.

WELCOME back to The Buff – and the first one of Wanderers’ pre-season!

We look back at the opening friendly against Longridge Town and a nine-goal haul that has got everyone very excited, rightly or wrongly.

The club’s new home shirt was launched this week, so we ask whether it is alright or Barry Knight in the fashion stakes.

Ian Evatt announced there were “conversations” with other clubs about top stars like Dapo Afolayan and Ricardo Santos, so should Bolton supporters be nervous?

The B Team squad is padding out, so we examine a couple of their new recruits, and we discuss where Ian Evatt still needs to strengthen his first team squad… if at all!

Of course we read out our listener emails, because they are the best bit. And one raises the distinct possibility that Stephen Dobbie could one day become Bolton Wanderers manager.

Marc and Henry try to tackle a two-minute challenge, rather unsuccessfully, and we also tip our cap to The Beatles. No spoilers.

WELCOME to another edition of The Buff – which would have been live from Portugal, had Marc’s hotel had better wi-fi!

Instead, the lads scrutinise the week’s Bolton Wanderers headlines from the glamorous locations of Leigh and Bath, but that doesn’t mean we have scrimped on the detail.

We pore through the new fixture list and whether the tough start Wanderers have been given will make any difference.

We look at new loan addition Conor Bradley from Liverpool and whether he should be seen in a different light, given Ian Evatt’s comments about Marlon Fossey.

The Bolton boss and his Blackpool links are also investigated – and Marc talks surprise packages from the training ground in Portugal.

WELCOME back for another blast of The Buff – and all your Bolton Wanderers stories packed into one hour of podcast fun.

We examine all the big stories of the week, including James Trafford’s return from Manchester City, the burgeoning B Team and the fact Marlon Fossey won’t be a Wanderer next season.

Henry Hewitt is back in the co-host’s chair but our experiment with Buff FM went so well, we’re bringing it back again to hear from Wanderers fans on the big issues of the day.

We’ve also got a new end-of-episode game that hasn’t got a name yet. But we can probably only play it for one more week, so don’t email in.

WELCOME to another episode of The Buff Podcast – where we’ll be talking through the top topics at Bolton Wanderers.

This week we’re putting a different spin on things, with Marc hosting the first-ever Buff FM phone-in. So don’t touch that dial!

Several passionate fans give their views on the top headlines of the week, including the problematic chase of Fulham defender Marlon Fossey and the speculation over Ian Evatt and the vacant Blackpool job.

We also put YouTuber Ben Timberlake under the spotlight in a Wanderers Mastermind not to be missed.

WELCOME back for another episode of The Buff – and this time we’ve got an episode of two halves!

In part one, we are joined by Chris Mann, the creator of the Burnden Aces and BWFC Stats Twitter accounts and a Wanderers fan who knows exactly when to send Paddy McCarthy a Moonpig card.

We scour the week’s headlines, from Ricardo Santos’s new contract and the appointments at the academy to The Bolton News’s in-depth chat with Bruce Rioch, 30 years after he was appointed at Burnden Park.

Chris undertakes the Wanderers Mastermind challenge – his chosen subject being Wanderers’ Premier League years.

And then we shift gear for the second half of the show, where Emily Parker and Angela Abbott are our special guests, chatting about the work of #HerGameToo, how Wanderers can help bring in more female fans and whether there is any hope of a senior women’s team returning to the University of Bolton Stadium.

THIS week's Buff Podcast skims over the fact it has been a quiet week at Bolton Wanderers and makes its own news.

Should Josh Windass be applauded for his social media exploits? Can Dapo Afolayan pull off plastic footwear and why does Henry keep Lloyd Isgrove's signed sock in his spare room?

Of course we debate all the week's headlines. We wrote them.

There is a cancelled friendly against Oldham Athletic, talk of fan disorder, early season slumps and Harry Brockbank's American U-turn.

But more importantly there are emails from our fantastic listeners - from wacky kit sponsorship ideas and stadium naming rights, to ridiculous bald science.

And to top it off, Marc sits in The Buff's custom made leather chair to answer Mastermind questions on the one and only Kevin Davies. Spoiler: He should have studied.
