FFS... This seems over lenient to me..Surely the EFL will contest it..

Bolton have been punished with 5 points deduction suspended for 18 months plus £50,000 fine half suspended for 18 months for failing to fulfill the 2 fixtures v Brentford last season and v Doncaster this season
You could say they have done rather well

Congratulations BWFC.

EFL have lodged an appeal against the judgement and rightly do... The funny is they appointed this independent committee in the first place..

Congratulations BWFC.

So if Bolton win the rearranged match and get 3 points they wouldn't have had, because they broke the rules, and then they finish 1 point above Accrington Stanley - would you say that is fair to the fans of Accrington Stanley?

To what extent should clubs be allowed to call off a fixture because they think they would be better suited playing it later? And how would you punish them in a way that doesn't in any way affect the team?
