Trevor Senior, whose goal gave the Vauxhall Conference side Farnborough a 1-1 draw in the FA Cup first-round tie with Brentford, will have a late fitness test before tonight's replay at Cherrywood Road.

The former Reading striker missed the 1-0 League victory over Bromsgrove on Saturday with a knee injury.

Keith Day, who missed the first game with calf trouble, suffered no adverse reaction on his return on Saturday and will continue in the centre of defence.

Bolton have started work on their pounds 20m stadium, due to open in August 1997. The occasion was marked by in a sod-cutting ceremony carried out by Nat Lofthouse.

The club claims the new 25,000 all-seater stadium, situated just off the M61 at Horwich, will be unique in the this country, providing unrestricted views from all parts of the ground. Tensile roofs will be suspended from tubular steel trusses stretching between angled floodlight pylons and the main stand will house conference and banqueting facilities matching anything in the domestic game.

It is all part of a pounds 200m project involving the football club, Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council and Emmerson Developments.
