Bolton put champagne on ice: Football

Although the champagne was popped back in the fridge yesterday at least until next weekend, Bolton Wanderers are all but back in the Premiership after one season away. Their celebrations were put on hold after promotion aspirants Wolverhampton Wanderers fought back to earn a point against QPR at Loftus Road.

Bolton - 17 points clear of Barnsley at the top of the First Division at the start of the day and without a game - would have gained automatic promotion had Wolves lost, but Keith Curle's 70th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot at Loftus Road means they must wait a little while longer.
