points after
calling match off
Bolton face another points
deduction from the English Football
League after unilaterally postponing
last night’s League One home game
with Doncaster.
“Welfare” concerns were cited
regarding younger players being
forced to play in all four games of
the new season. Bolton went into
administration in May and are
prevented from signing new players.
The decision to postpone the
match was taken without consulting
Doncaster or the league, which is
to refer Bolton to an independent
commission. If found guilty of a
charge of gross misconduct the club
will lose further points, with the EFL
having docked them 12 for entering
administration. The EFL expects the
game against Doncaster to be played
at some point.
Bolton are hopeful that a takeover
by Football Ventures will be
completed soon. Their next game is
at home to Ipswich on Saturday.
Bury have now had fi ve of theirLeague One matches suspended
this season after the EFL postponed
Saturday’s game at Tranmere. In a
statement the EFL maintained its
stance that Bury’s owner, Steve Dale,
has not provided details of how the
club are to pay their debts and fund
the season.
The league said Bury have until
Friday to provide all necessary
information on “source and
suffi ciency of funding” for paying
£2m debts owed under a company
voluntary arrangement and fund the
season or the club will be expelled
after 125 years’ League membership.
