It covers the period from 1 July 2011 to June 30, 2012. If Bolton Wanderers fail to win the 2011–12 Premier League title, it will be the 73rd time that they will have competed at the top level without winning the title, the most of any club.

The home strip for the 2011–12 season was revealed on 12 May 2011 bearing the 188 Bet logo.[1] The Reebok home strip has a white and blue body with a white right arm and a blue left arm. The away strip is all black with a yellow trim.

Pre-season

Bolton Wanderers preceded their 2011–12 campaign with a tour of the United States for the second year in a row. They originally announced games at Orlando City on 17 July, with Bolton winning the game 3-1[2], and against midfielder Stuart Holden's former club Houston Dynamo on 20 July, which they also won, 2-0[3]. On 14 June they announced an extra game at FC Tampa Bay which was played on 14 July, with the home team winning 1-0.[4][5] On 3 June, the club announced two initial games to be played against domestic opposition. They met Newport County on July 30 and won 3-1[6]. However, the game was overshadowed by an injury suffered by Lee Chung-Yong who broke his leg following a challenge by Tom Miller. Initial reports suggested that Lee would miss the vast majority of the season.[7] Two days later they beat Hereford United scoring three goals with no reply.[8][9] On 7 June the club announced further games at Bradford City and a local derby at Bury. The Bradford game took place on July 24, with Bolton winning 4-1[10] and the Bury game followed three days later, Bolton beating their nearest rivals 2-0.[11][12] On 13 June, Bolton announced their only pre season game at the Reebok Stadium would be on 5 August against La Liga side Levante. The Spanish side won the match 1-0. [13] This meant that Ivan Klasnić finished the pre season as the club's leading scorer with five goals. In addition to this, the reserve team also played five games away from home at non-league opposition, winning three, drawing one and losing one.[14] Lee was not the only Bolton player to suffer a major injury in pre season, with Tyrone Mears who had only just joined the club from Burnley, also breaking his leg in a training session on 4 August.[15]

The fixtures for the 2011–12 season were announced on 17 June at 09:00 BST, and revealed that Bolton will begin the season away from home for the first time in six years. Bolton travelled to Loftus Road to take on newly promoted Queens Park Rangers on 13 August 2011. Goals from Gary Cahill, Ivan Klasnić, Fabrice Muamba and an own goal from Danny Gabbidon gave Bolton their best season opener since the first game of the 2001-02 season.[16] They finished the weekend in joint first place with their next opponents, Manchester City who won 3-2. Manchester City scored two first-half goals from David Silva and Gareth Barry before Ivan Klasnić pulled one back shortly before half time from Martin Petrov's cross for his second goal of the season. Edin Dzeko restored Manchester City's two goal cushion straight after half time before Kevin Davies pulled a goal back with a header midway through the second half from Petrov's free kick.

They will also finish the season away from home by playing Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium exactly nine months later on 13 May 2012. [17]

Transfers

On the commencement of the summer transfer window on 1 July, long serving midfielder Joey O'Brien, central midfielder Tamir Cohen and defender Jlloyd Samuel all left the club as their contracts had expired. Swedish forward, Johan Elmander, who three years previously had been the club's record signing, also left at the end of his contract and quickly signed for Turkish club Galatasary. On the same day the club signed Darren Pratley on a free transfer after he had rejected a new deal at Swansea City. Three days later, Ali Al-Habsi, who had spent the previous season on loan at Wigan Athletic, joined them on a permanent basis in a deal believed to be in the region of £4million. On 11 July 2011, young striker Danny Ward signed for Huddersfield Town for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal, with the option of a further year. Later that month, Matt Taylor, who had been at the club for three years, joined former Bolton manager Sam Allardyce at his new club West Ham United, again for an undisclosed fee. A few days later, Bolton made their second signing of the window, bringing in free agent Nigel Reo-Coker, who had left Aston Villa following the end of the previous season. The club then supplemented this signing by bringing in Chris Eagles and Tyrone Mears from manager Owen Coyle's previous club Burnley for a combined fee in the region of £3million. Bolton also signed Tuncay Şanlı on loan from Wolfsburg.
