Pre-season and friendlies
[edit]On 11 May 2022, the club announced that they would be travelling to Portugal for a training camp once the squad reported for pre season training on 17 June.[1] Five days later, Bolton announced their opening batch of pre-season fixtures with trips to Longridge Town, Chorley, Oldham Athletic and Southport.[2] A further fixture away to Carlisle United was confirmed on 20 May.[3] On 23 May, the game at Oldham Athletic was cancelled after the reaction of some supporters to the fixture.[4] The same day, two more fixtures against Atherton Collieries and Bamber Bridge were announced.[5] On 8 June, Bolton announced their first home fixture of pre-season, against Championship side Huddersfield Town to be played on 23 July, a week before the start of the season.[6] Another friendly against Stockport County was confirmed the same day, to be played on 5 July behind closed doors due to both teams pitches being re-laid.[7] On 24 June, the final fixture of pre-season was announced against Championship side Watford to be played on 12 July behind closed doors at Watford Training Ground.[8] It also served as a replacement fixture for the cancelled Oldham Athletic friendly. On 9 July, Bolton played an unannounced friendly against their near neighbours Wigan Athletic.[9]
