This is one of the govering bodies of English football Billy. We've all known, for decades, the degree of their incompetance, shortsightedness and complete absence of vision and imagination. But football gets what it deserves. what proportion of the men, the clubs, the players in the English league system are honourable? Chelsea? Transfer embargo. Liverpool - under investigation. Man City struggling like hell to find a legal loophole to wriggle through. Owls - sanctioned. Players - diving practice every day. There are some fantastic exceptions. Of course there are. But you know and I know these paltry few examples are just the tip of a very large iceberg. The whole caboodle is carrying its own death wish around with it. The grey dullards at the Football League are a manifestation of a sport without a soul and without any vision except money. It is not a sport to admire and it hasn't been since the early 1960's.CheersBobG
I hope we give them a warm reception when they arrive at The Keepmoat, from the moment their team arrives to the moment they leave they should be bombarded with insults, and do not let any Bolton fan anywhere near the bars, and close down the concourse facilities for the day. Lobby all pubs in town so they can't have a drink anywhere, and hang out the flags with cheats written all over them. In addition I will be expecting Rovers to sue the EFL.
Our home game with them is the 2nd of February, any frost or ice I would not postpone the game until very late that night.
Picture the scene.Bolton beat us. We miss out on promotion by 1 point to Ipswich who hammered them the week before we were supposed to play them. Bolton survive by 1 point over Wimbledon who go down.Legal action from us and Wimbledon against the FL?

The Club should be deducted a further 6 points and 3 points awarded to us. The club cancelled the game not their supporters. A bit of perspective needed here. We shouldn’t be talking about revenge on people who are not at fault.
There will be plenty of external pressure on Rovers to appeal this, to strike down what is a ridiculous precedent. See the Peterborough Chairman has been making this point tonight. Bolton cancelled the game unilaterally because they didn’t fancy playing it. Any club in future can seek to do this now and will receive nothing - a few quid fine and a suspended ie non-enforced points penalty. There is literally no disincentive for a club to seek to do this in future - nothing.

Any intelligent reasonable thinking person must see we have been treated with total disrespect. There must be some intelligent and sensible people who are Bolton fans. Well i hope so any way.
See Liam Hoden's tweets.He says the EFL board were unanimously convinced the game should be replayed. Its utterly pointless appealing.The ONLY option the club has is legal action against the EFL. If they don't want to do that, everyone should get over this very quickly because its done.
