Bolton, who are guaranteed a play-off place and are currently fifth, finish the regular season at Bristol Rovers.

They are most likely to face fourth-placed Barnsley in the play-offs, but could be pitted against the third-placed Owls if Derby County win their final day game at Hillsborough and Wanderers lose against Rovers.

Bolton's two-tiered South Stand fills around 5,000 supporters and is given to away clubs, although allocations can vary and are often around 3,000.

Just the upper tier of the stand will be allocated to visiting fans for the play-off semi, while the lower tier will be open to home supporters.

Barnsley, guaranteed a fourth-placed finish, end their regular campaign at home to Peterborough United.
