Ok, wasn"t gonna stay over in bolton, as brother doesnt live too far away, but he"s away with his work, so decided to look at hotel rooms today. Well I found rooms at the De Verre Whites Hotel, basically the 4 star hotel attached to the reebok, for £29, yes £29 per room through Late Rooms!!!! (see link at the top of this page!!!) It"s £59 to book through their own website.
So if you can cancel your existing booking and pile into this you could save yourself some dosh, I know some people have been paying £100-150 a night, so anyone who saves some money feel free to buy me a drink.
