The game was not ‘postponed’, it was cancelled by no greater authority than an administrator of BWFC

Just your thoughts on how the EFL May react or do you know something.?It’s just my opinion, It won’t be fair on us but I think the efl will state it needs playing. Other clubs chairmen have already stated it’s not fair for us to get the points so can’t see the efl doing us a favour and upsetting everyone else.They’ll just upset us Not having a go, but which chairmen and where.?

He suggested taking the points off the sides that had already played the kids. That won’t happen though
The bottom line here is that the EFL allowed the distortion of sporting integrity in this league by allowing Bolton to start the season playing games with no senior squad. Whether we get the points or not (I'm quite sure we won't), this entire season is now skewed by the free win Wycombe, Ipswich and Tranmere have got. Let's see if the difference between promotion/play offs or relegation is less than those 3 points at the end of the season. My expectation is that it probably will be.And I don't think the EFL can fix it now. They can't take the points of those three teams (or the 1 off Coventry) because making them replay those games is a nonsense and just clogs up the fixture list. Likewise they can't ensure every team gets one free shot at the Bolton reserves to try and earn a 5-0 win. So they've stuffed it now and the 22 teams in this league will just have to lump it. Which is wrong.Bolton will probably have another points deduction and could well be relegated but we won't see those points unless we win the rearranged game at the UoB Stadium.
Bolton are wanting it to be played towards the end of the season.Absolutely no reason that it can't be played on this first available Tuesday,
Martin, Are we able to push for a rearranged game as soon as possible. Ie Tuesday 10th September

As far as I can see they just mention it being rearranged/played at a later date. There's no mention of 'towards the end of the season'.
If we do have to rearrange won’t it set a dangerous precedent that others may point to when they have an injury crisis. Knowing they can cancel the game themselves and get the opportunity to replay it later in the season?
If we have to replay it i guess we can just cancel the game at short notice and rearrange it when it suits us better. If Bolton are allowed to get away with it then why not us. The precedent it sets is very dangerous so can't see any logic for the EFL allowing a replay. Unfortunately i can't help feeling like we will have to replay

You will see that I think it was disgusting in the way that they did not inform either yourselves or the league before announcing it publically.You will see that I think that the club should be hit with a massive points deduction as punishment.The precedent was actually set with Middlesboro/Blackburn - points deduction for boro , match replayed. Brentford were awarded the points as the EFLs own rules state that all league games must be played no later than the Tuesday after the final scheduled league game, which in this case was impossible.(* reasons below.) Hence the awarding of the points. It also had no material difference on any clubs final position, so there was no-one wronged (except, I guess, the season ticket holders who were deprived of a game).The only question is whether every other club in the league, who all have to play us at least once more, would think it fair that one club were awarded 3 points without having to play the game. The answer, in any sense, would be no. And thats why it will be replayed.Should Gillingham be awarded the 3 points for tomorrow, as the EFL will now allow us to register players ? It is, after all, not their fault they play us after the takeover has been completed.Would it be fair to replay all the games we have already played (Coventry would also certainly say so).Should we be forced to finish the season with only the squad we currently have ?From an outsiders point of view, the impression that one gets from most, not all, of the comments here is that Doncaster were victimised. That it was all about them. That it was a continuation of 97-98 when the EFL didnt do to you what they did to Bury, and almost to ourselves. That it was personal.Ask yourself this, if it had been lincoln we called the game off against, would you be happy that they got the 3 points, and you played 2 games against a better team. And then you played them on the Saturday, after they had a week of rest whilst you played, and lost. I'm not the one calling for unilaterally calling of games with no punishment, as you obviously are above.* We could not play on the Saturday, as the EFL would not allow us to play the kids, due to the rule of not playing the kids in any game twice in any 4 day period - sound familiar?) We could not play in the midweek as the Council would not allow as a certificate. We could not play after the final game as the Brentford players had gone on holiday.We will quite rightly be hit with a points deduction for our players going on strike.Enjoy the rest of the seaon, I wish you all the best , and hopefully may bump into some for a pint when we play you later, either at your place, or ours.
You need to be grateful that you still have a club and stop acting like you have a right to another home fixture with us this season.

It was postponed, Bolton didn't even act with any respect to the other parties involve. You need to be grateful that you still have a club and stop acting like you have a right to another home fixture with us this season.
