It wasn’t the EFL who imposed this fine, and seen as the EFL are appealing this outcome as too lenient, your statement doesn’t make any sense.
...Secondly we need financial reparations for loss of revenue as we were geared up to fulfill, fans, team etc....

The Independant panel looked at all of the issues involving Bolton not just the Rovers game so like it or not you have to get it into perspective. No question we were wrong to call off the game with such limited warning. There is currently no fixed penalty for the offence so it’s unlikely until there is that you will get the points I’m afraid and the game will be played.I certainly think your fans should be compensated but I’m not sure how you’d do that other than by free entry when the game is played. As for the future, a rule has to be in place to accommodate this in future and if this means awarding the game to the opposition, plus some fine or points penalty for the offender. I can’t see how anyone can complain about that but only if it’s officially in place so everyone is fully aware. Given our last pathetic performance at Accy, I wouldn’t be too worried facing us anyway!!

If you have 11 premier league players in your team or 11 18yr olds it’s totally irrelevant. We are not after 3 easy points. The point most of us are making which most Bolton fans don’t seem to understand is your club unilaterally cancelled a game 28 hrs before kick off with no consideration to anybody else except yourselves.Forfeit of the game SHOULD be the ONLY possible outcome. Yes it isn’t in the rules which quite frankly is a disgrace. The EFL are obviously incompetent and not fit for purpose.

Campsall,I've been in a meeting with the EFL today, and this issue was raised both in the formal part of the meeting and afterwards with a personal chat.There's a lot of sympathy for our position, but until the minutes are agreed I won't be able to say much more.
Of course, I'm more trying to make the point that games are now being rescheduled, so we might be hearing news about maybe the Shrewsbury game for example....I'm not holding my breath on a bolton announcement till the end of April, with the EFL praying that we are mid table and bolton already relegated....
Looks like 4th Jan is being considered to play this match so you may get to play our team as is and before we have time to strengthen in the window.

We should be give the game. End of as far as i am concerned.Yes FR I know you said you agree with me. BUT WILL THE RIGHT DECISION BE MADE?Not a chance, we are only Doncaster Rovers. If this had been done in the premier league it would have been sorted within a a couple of weeks and the points would have been awarded to the opposing team. It’s a SHAMBLES. Who are the EFL appealing to. They appointed the panel from their own people in the first place didn’t they. I can’t get my head round what a total farce this is.

It's an Independant Commission appointed by the FA not the EFL. The appeal is also supposedly heard by an Independant tribunal, also appointed by the FA. The rules stipulate whom each panel is made up of in terms of qualifications.That said, I'm sure many think the EFL should have dealt with it in the first place, as they do have the authority to impose the relevant sanctions. Maybe with the complexity of the case, considering the Brentford issue as well, they decided to refer it to the FA. They maybe regretting that now.
