Let's assume the best will happen and Bury are saved and given the go-ahead to compete in League One, where are they going to find six spare dates to catch up with their fixtures? |  | | |  |

Plenty of spare Tuesdays in the next few months | | | |

Not really fair on the clubs who may well have to play them during midweek when originally scheduled for a weekend |  | | |

Even less fair on a thin squad that will have to do so regularly through the whole season.
If (and it is a big if) they get to play, they will do what Bolton did and call a few off for the safety of their players for sure. That will leave them unlikely to finish before the end of the season. They also have a league cup fixture to fulfil before the next round is played don't they?
I think today is likely to be the end for them. There is a limit to all the extensions and extra chances. I guess there is that outside chance a deal is agreed and the EFL give one last extension for the fit-and-proper persons joke to be completed. |  |

Nope Sheffield Wednesday were awarded the League Cup tie. | | | |

That is just tough unfortunately. Is it fair to Rochdale that we will look to postpone our fixture with them due to international call ups? | | | |

It depends on what penalty Bolton get for calling off that fixture. If it is minimal I can see several clubs trying it on, as a precedent will have been set. |  |

If it is anything equal or less severe than relegation, it is not of a level sufficient to put off Bury.
Assuming Bury can survive, the sensible course would be to relegate bot sides and abandon their fixtures for this season.
That then cuts their revenue source for this year but also gives them time to sort out their affairs ready for next season. | |

I can't imagine any club being effectively mothballed for a season ever coming back from that. |  |

Yes it is completely fair. What wouldn't be fair is if we were required to fulfil a fixture with a squad depleted due to international call-ups. That would be a punishment for having good players. [Post edited 23 Aug 2019 13:55]

It is within the rules and within common practice.
Rotherham, on the other hand, might well have reason to feel aggrieved having two consecutive matches postponed due to highly unusual circumstances both to do with their opponents. | |

Yes its within the rules. The circumstances here though are exceptional and down to the EFL's inability to govern the game.
Rotherham may feel aggrieved but that is for them to take any action, if they want to.
The league should never have been allowed to start in this situation. Bury's status should have been sorted before hand, but it hasn't so this is the situation as it currently stands.
Bolton calling off the fixture however is a nonsense and IMO they should be awarded a 3-0 win over Bolton. | | | |

Thanks for correcting me. Forgot about the Portsmouth situation and just assumed it was re Bury and Bolton. | | | |
