The Game is cancelled and we are awarded Bolton's stadium as a result.

Sisu pay to get it airlifted to Coventry and we win the Champions League.

Just got 5/1 on Bet365 for that outcome.

Just heard from my mate in Bolton that Bassini has got a high court judge to suspend the sale of the club. Looks like they could be joing Bury soon.

My guess...
Game will go ahead behind closed doors with Bolton playing the same team as last week against Wycombe apart from the two guys with ankle injuries. Will be a scratch team.

I put cancelled and 3 points, but their should be an option where that happens and the league award Godden a complimentary hat trick.

I put rearranged because the EFL always go down the path of least resistance and put off having to make a decision.

Cancelled would be the wrong approach. Why should we wait to play them when they are 'back on their feet' or knees as the case may be? Either way it's clearly in our interests to play them now and I hope that happens.

Still think the game will go ahead as normal.

It has probably reduced the crowd by at least 50% if the tickets went on sale yesterday morning as planned.

They have to cancel and replay it as if they don't it would not be fair on Bury - Anyway Bolton players and their fans will not be in the right frame of mind

If it’s rearranged (which I think it will be) how is that fair considering whoever they played last gets a free three points?

EFL Have now cancelled 3 of Burys games and now today gave them 14 days notice to come up with a solid business plan or they are finished in the league - Bolton will follow the Bury trail -

Why don’t they just reverse the fixture so we play at home instead. Oh wait........

Will be “re-arranged” I’m pretty sure - and yep, they no doubt will follow Bury out of the league after a few weeks of doing so.

Very sad for the fans

EFL rules say that any League or Cup games can not be played behind closed doors.

If we played it at St Andrews that would be fair for both sides - neutral ground

That not what it says. Read paragraph 33.1 of the EFL Regulations. No cup games or League games can be played behind closed doors.

We could play at Burys ground. Just up the road from Burnley and Bury won't be needing it.

Ah right, just heard something on the radio saying that it could be behind closed doors “in special circumstances” Maybe they got it wrong then.

I saw earlier an article on the BBC getting excited about Premier League spending in the transfer window exceeding £1billion - the game is getting beyond a disgrace.

You've missed a key part of that regulation out.

33.1 Behind closed doors. Save with the consent of The League or as a consequence of any disciplinary or regulatory proceedings, no Club may play any League or Cup Match behind closed doors so that the public are excluded from the ground.

I don't think they will consent to it though.... they've already set the precedent by postponing Burys first 2 league games.
However as they've fucked everyone around by insisting the game is going ahead if it doesn't go ahead we should be awarded the 3 points.

I’ll be going if it’s on, but to be honest I am not nearly as concerned about what I am doing tomorrow afternoon as I am about how the fuck a club like Bolton gets to this position. Really feel for all Bolton fans and will be showing my support no matter what the outcome.
