1-0?!? I always thought the default was 3-0. |  |

I thought that too. Not that it makes the slightest bit of difference to anybody in this case |  |

They'll be arguing about who claims the goal... |  |

At least that gets the award for being 'easiest 3-points of the season', which any other team playing us could have otherwise laid claim too... |  |

If not playing a game is only punished with a 1-0 we could have done with a few of these. |  |

Or conversely we should have infiltrated and sabotaged every club, forcing them to void each of their home games against us and we would have had a guaranteed 69 points without kicking a ball. That's practically playoff form. |  |

That lifts Brentford from 15th to 12th. Quite a rise at this point of the season and no doubt worth a fair few quid in prize money.
How completely depressing that we could have not bothered to turn up for 25 of our 45 matches this season and been in a better position than we currently are! [Post edited 3 May 2019 13:23]

The only problem is that would have been wiped out with our home form!  | |

69 points from 23 games is more than playoff form! Lol. | |

What would happen if Brentford needed a 2-0 win (to go up, make the play offs or avoid relegation)? |  |

Except there is no position related prize money in the Championship! | | | |

I think the EFL have just got lucky that this game doesn't matter - if it did for the reasons in your post they'd be panicking and no doubt fu(king it up! |  |

I would think that if the game had mattered it would have been ordered to have been played at a neutral ground close to Bolton.
They would not be able to wait to see if Bolton had got their safety certificate to enable it to have been played there so I think that playing it next mid week at a neutral ground would have been the only option. |  | | |

Or played it at Bolton behind closed doors. | |

Which again wouldn't be fair on Brentford or their supporters. The team might struggle to raise itself playing in such weird conditions, and thus not get the 2-0 win they need in my mythical scenario. | |

That's partly my point. The EFL seem to be making it up as they go along. Surely there should be a set rule for this sort of thing? | |

I think he is implying that they would have lost by more than 1-0 if the game had been played ... | |

If they still exist next season I would be surprised if they begin it with as much as 0 points. | | | |

They were told that now they can't get the doors to close either. | |

There should be something to base the result on for if it ever happens again, I think it should be worked out by taking Brentford's average goals per game ratio over the season, against nil for Bolton obviously, that's fair? |  | | |
