KEVIN Nolan believes Bolton's involvement in this month's Peace Cup will be excellent preparation for the Premiership season.

Wanderers face opposition from Chivas (Mexico), Spain's Racing Santander and South Korea's Seongnam.

"The Peace Cup in Korea will be good for us," says the Wanderers skipper.

"We are travelling a long way so it will be tough. We did something similar a couple of seasons ago in Thailand for the FA Premier League Asia Trophy.

"It shows how far we have come as a football club when we get invited to play in tournaments like the Peace Cup."

Missed out

Wanderers have missed out on Sheffield United's highly rated midfielder Phil Jagielka.

The Manchester-born star has signed for Everton in a £4m deal.

Bolton fans have until tomorrow to apply for their season ticket with an early purchase discount.

Wanderers were the first club to announce a price reduction in their season tickets for next season, offering a minimum reduction of 10 per cent off last season's prices.

A further 10 per cent can be saved if season tickets are purchased on or before the early purchase deadline.
