Have called off their game at home to Donny tonight with concerns for "player welfare" without consulting the EFL or Donny. A sad state of affairs with Bury looking likely to go pop and maybe Bolton following soon. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49399958

Hmm, awkward one to resolve. Do clubs have the power to just call a match off without consulting the other team or seeking approval from the EFL?
I have (some) sympathy for Bolton, in the sense that they feel they can't keep fielding kids that are also playing youth games, so I understand their concerns about over-playing them and over-exposing them to the physical demands of first team football.
However, I'd like to bet that the majority of them want to play. Maybe, if they're also playing youth games, they should call the youth fixtures off and prioritise the first team games?
I know it's not exactly the same position as Bury but if there was any doubt around Bolton being able to fulfil 46 league fixtures before the season started then the EFL should've been across this from the start.
It really is a sad state of affairs. Bolton and Bury are in the positions they are from gross overspending and arrogance from the top. I'm not sure the EFL are coming out of this positively either.
As always, it's the fans that suffer.

Sounds to me like they are trying to buy some time and avoid another spanking. They'd probably rather delay until more senior players are available so at least they have some chance of picking up a point or 3.
Or maybe that is just me being a cynical twit.

I think if any club postpones a game without approval a hefty fine will follow at least.

I bet this is the case. If I was the EFL i'd just award the tie to Donny 3-0. To be fair both Bolton and Bury are a shambles. Every EFL club should be forced to pass a test that they have paid their players and can prove they can fufil their fixtures six weeks out from the season. If they can't do that they should be thrown out.

An even heftier fine if they have not had enough stewards to control the fans.
Both Bolton and Bury at serious risk of disappearing as league clubs.
There is a bigger issue here. Clubs are in more serious trouble than before. The EFL also seem unable or unwilling to stop dodgy owners taking control. The recipe for a perfect storm.
If 1 or 2 clubs go bust, I can see a domino effect whereby other clubs go to the wall. The EFL might also lose patience with struggling clubs and pull the plug.
Probably most EFL clubs are vulnerable here. If our takeover does not happen, and John Fenty wants to relinquish control, then we could be at risk. I cannot see the EFL being too bothered about our future.

Not sure what the EFL's ruling is on calling off games, but I know that even in the local Sunday League, once fixtures are set, then, barring weather related postponements, games must be played on the date set down,
You can apply for one fixture free date before the start of the season but that's all.
Anyone calling off a game sees the points awarded to their opponents and get fined.

Similar down here on Saturday except you can close 2 dates but the league needs 1 month notice minimum

They're probably going down regardless. The only other time I can remember a situation like this was when Middlesbrough cancelled a game (I think against Blackburn?), and got deducted 3 points. This was in the premier league, but that should be the precedent. To mess around other clubs because you're in a mess and want a better chance at getting a result is unfair. I'd have thought the young players would love the experience and exposure of playing first team football.

Shocking. Players welfare? Footballers being forced to play football? Massive fine, points deducted, sling 'em out the league if need be. The most disgusting cynical attempt at playing the system I've heard of. Who the fcuk do they think they are?

Whatever we might think of Fenty we know he loves the club so he would never just walk away.

When we had the same issues back in 2012, we were forced to play our kids & we got spanked most weeks - But they did allow the club to sign players for free (players like Drewe Broughton/Neil Wainwright come to our aid and played for free; only claiming expenses which the Supporters Group paid for).
It was a relief when we did get demoted, because it was a breath of fresh air and brought everyone closer together as a fan-owned club.
Wondering why Bolton haven't been given the opportunity to do that kind of thing at the moment?

Do clubs declare \ send to the EFL at the start of every season what their expected transfer \ wage budget, not necessarily the full accounts? I know it can be fudged (on paper) to make it look like your wage budget is within a specific threshold, based on matchday and non matchday income but that's what i'd do. is it not as simple as that?

I definitely cant see them lasting. However it depends if the EFL follow protocol, or prefer to drag their knuckles. Not sure how much is involved but is he really in a position to turn down? I thought the CVA \ administrators accept what they can get and the owner doesn't have a say (or is that when the club goes bust ). [url]https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49410172[/url]

Trouble is they have let them start the season now so the EFL are fcked....cancelling their record is one thing but what if the opposition they have played suffered injuries or suspensions that effected their next results.....can of worms... That's why Bury should he dealt with sooner rather than later.

But Bury haven't called their games off have they, the league has.
I think technically Bury have called their own games off by not co-operating with the EFL and by failing to provide with the necessary information that all the other 71 clubs in the EFL have (even Bolton's administrators). The EFL needs to tighten up the rules so that if the same situation arises again in the future it doesn't drag on. Bury should have been thrown out in the summer. The EFL are a bit guilty of "tyre-kicking" with their handling of both Bury & Bolton. They've bent over backwards to accommodate both clubs when they should have been firmer. Gateshead were demoted out of the National League over the summer. I don't know why the EFL is so lenient with clubs who cheat.

Enough is enough. It is becoming a farce now. Time to end this, Bury should be expelled,
How ironic if their expulsion ends up saving Scunts from relegation!

Bolton should face a very, very severe penalty for calling off last night's game. Their excuse was total BS.
The team they picked on Saturday contained 6 players in their 20's. They named 7 substitutes on Saturday- 3 outfield subs didn't play and the 3 who came on played for 22, 15 & 2 minutes each.
They could have picked the 6 senior players & 5 (of the 6) outfield youngsters who started on the bench on Saturday.
What's the issue?
They still haven't been punished for failing to fulfil the Brentford match at the end of last season either. 2nd offence in 5 months.
Oh and I see their manager and his assistant have just resigned. Not looking good for Bolton. Getting the feeling they are on the brink along with Bury.

Thought it meant fewer teams would go down from League One and still four up from League Two, so no affect on promotion/relegation from/to the National League.

Not if fewer teams get relegated! Bury get binned: 3 down 4 up. Bury and Bolton get binned: 2 down 4 up.

No, There are 24 teams in League Two this season. 4 are promoted to L1. 2 are relegated to NL. That leaves 18. 3 teams are relegated from L1 (with Bury expelled) & 2 promoted from NL. Makes 23. The EFL have been deliberately vague about League 2 > National League promotion/relegation. Almost like they are contemplating the idea of a 22 team L2 next season if both Bury & Bolton are expelled.

Thought you meant League One. Even though you did say League Two, I wasn't properly paying attention.

I would assume that for a league to have its numbers reduced it would have to be voted on ( in Portugal) by the clubs themselves, cannot see them agreeing to having less home matches as that will be a reduction in revenue.

Again how this is actually allowed by the EFL and how it all passes the test of fit and proper and all that completely and utterly baffles me! And who on earth lends 2 owners of Bolton 40 million!?!?!?!

It's all on the priceoffootball twitter feed. Documents and all.
Another question. What if there's 2 points in the league 1 promotion race between Ipswich and Sunderland (for example) on the last game of the season with Ipswich having been virtually given 3 points by playing Bolton when they could barely field a side, and Sunderland having to face a stronger Bolton home and away later in the season?

Just how it is I guess, tough luck etc. Bit like if sides are playing Scunny at the moment, easy three points for most of them. Probably by the time we play them it won't be the same situation.
