Naturally very sad. But I wanted to considered practical implications for us?
Mods feel free to merge if you think that this should be done. But I figured as this is a more selfish stance perhaps it justifies it's own thread.
So were down 1 match possibly two. This potentially impacts us in many ways:
Should season ticket holders get refunded?
How will the loss of 2/23 match day revenue affect rovers?
Will we get compensated?
Has this affected our transfer policy?
Does this impact FFP? Ie could we or others breach our limit given revenue has fallen? What should be the punishment if so?

We will lose a bit of money, season ticket holders will have one less game to go to.
But all of that pales in significance with what Bury and potentially Bolton supporters will go through, having the club they love stripped away from them.

I would imagine the EFL will compensate all clubs for loss of revenue caused by their inability to organise a simple league competition. The cheque will no doubt be in the post

I've got a bit lost between all of the threads but if Bolton follow Bury into expulsion then does that mean that nobody gets relegated from league two at the end of the season?

I assume only two go down from league one and all other leagues remain the same (still four up from league two etc.) What happens with the teams who did play against Bolton so far this season? I assume those results are removed and the points as well? |

I assume those results are removed and the points as well? That's my understanding with regards to teams that have already played Bolton. Would be sad to see them go to, but it would mean teams like Tranmere don't have the 5 goal advantage on other teams that didn't get the chance to play Bolton, when it gets to the end of the season. |

Bolton have had enough chances to get out of this mess, they should have gone last night

League 2 / conf will need to change too, unless the number of teams in the league change or Phoenix clubs get readmitted into l2 next season. Otherwise l2 will drop down to 22 teams as they’d only gain 2 from l1 instead of 4. So no relegation out of l2 this year or an extra two teams from the conference. Or a nice idea would be a balance of the 2 |

What league would Bury effectively be placed into now? They’ve not been liquidated just yet? Sad scenes all round.

Still not faced any punishment for cancelling Brentford fixture last season. Seems to be that it’s ‘easier’ to show your strength to smaller clubs, but should they be suspending Bolton’s fixtures now? 😩 |

We were due to play Bury at home on the 4th January. With any luck, we'll end up playing an FA Cup third round tie that weekend instead.

When we’re we supposed to have the Gigg at the Lane? 5th October, I suppose we could ask the FA if we can enter at the third qualifying round to get a game that weekend, but might as well have a water-up instead. |

The cheque will no doubt be in the post I wouldn't hold your breath. Jevans was on radio 4 this morning saying the EFL don't regulate clubs they just organise the competition. Said Dale bought an asset and that the EFL couldn't do anything to make him run the club properly. As far as I know there isn't anything in the EFL rules saying they have to compensate clubs for a team not being able to fulfil their fixtures. The problem gets more complicated with Bolton as they have played some fixtures. If they went out of business the clubs that have played them at home would then have the extra revenue and thus an advantage over the rest of the teams in the league. Its an absolute mess. |

Not to mention points on the board from beating a bunch of 17 year olds 5-0 as well. For example, what happens if Tranmere pip us to safety by two points come May? |

Exactly! Thankfully we've got England's number nine Tom Nichols firing goals now so playoffs is a minimum expectation but you never know! |
