The game will take place at the Reebok Stadium on Wednesday 15th December 2004 (7pm kick off) and as a result the reserve team contest against Wolverhampton Wanderers the evening before will now be played at a future date.
Wanderers lost out to Blackburn in this competition three years ago as Rovers claimed a 3-1 victory at Ewood Park. Bolton saw their forward Cleveland Taylor (now of Scunthorpe United) sent off.
