Blackburn and Preston also have a 'fixed' schedule so that they don't play at home on the same day apart from the occasional match where it is unavoidable (e.g. Preston playing Burnley). Regarding teams that are in close proximity and come under the same Constabulary, leagues do take into account the requests of the police when they set the fixture schedule.
As for Bolton, I would have thought that the restriction would be in relation to Wigan games.
