The '''[[2011–12 Welsh Premier League|2011–12 season]] of [[The New Saints F.C.]]''' is TNS's 19th consecutive season in the [[Welsh Premier League]] along with being the club's 53rd season in existence. The club began their pre-season [[Exhibition game|friendly]] schedule on 12 June 2011 with a win against a team representing [[Isle of Anglesey|Ynys Môn]].

== Season review ==
After completing early pre-season friendlies, the club played its [[2011–12 UEFA Europa League]] qualifying round matches, winning on aggregate in the first qualifying round against Clifftonville before being eliminated in the next round against Danish club [[FC Midtjylland|Midtjylland]]. In the domestic competitions the season was a successful year with the club regaining the [[Welsh Premier League]] in April,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://welsh-premier.com/index.php/headline-news/4537-no-slip-as-classy-saints-reclaim-the-title|title=No slip as classy Saints reclaim the title|first= |last= |work=www.welsh-premier.com |date=21 April 2012|accessdate=23 April 2012}}</ref> by a five point margin, in a season that saw the club lose just four league matches. [[Greg Draper]] finished the season as the club's leading scorer with 21 league goals, just one behind the Llanelli's [[Rhys Griffiths (footballer)|Rhys Griffiths]]. The club became the first side to score in every game in a Welsh Premier season since the birth of the League of Wales in 1992.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.saints-alive.co.uk/index.php/component/content/article/42-rokstories/1107-this-side-can-get-even-better-says-harrison|title=This side can get even better, says Harrison|first= |last= |work=The New Saints |date=23 April 2012|accessdate=24 April 2012}}</ref> They completed the double on 5 May 2012 beating [[CEFN Druids F.C.]] 2-0 in the [[Welsh Cup]] final, and thus kept a record on not conceding a goal for the entire Welsh Cup campaign.<ref name=2012double />

The club also progressed to the semi-final stage of the [[Welsh League Cup]].

At the end of the season came the news that the club had submitted entries for the English [[FA Cup]] and [[FA Trophy]] for the 2012-13 season. This decision meant that the club wished to play in both the Welsh and English domestic cup competitions.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/footballnation/welsh-premier-league/2012/04/22/saints-alive-as-welsh-premier-champions-get-fa-cup-go-ahead-91466-30810678/#ixzz1skau1U7K |title=Saints alive as Welsh Premier champions get FA Cup go-ahead|first=Phil |last=Blanche |work=Wales on Sunday|date=22 April 2012|accessdate=22 April 2012}}</ref>
