Not for us, but for Bury. i was credit checking a potential customer and decided to nosey onto BFC's file and was (or maybe not) supprised to see a new CCJ for circa £22k lodged only Wednesday this week. looks like they are in need of a bumper crowd tomorrow to settle some bills

If no teams are promoted and Bury dropped down to the National League then there would be to many teams in that league throwing the fixtures into chaos,I can't see it happening this late
They wouldn't be able to reform until 2020-21 season. The get reprieve after reprieve so the saga will limp onwards

Which is why I said there would just be 23 teams in League One!!

Isn't it getting a bit too late to kick Bury out of the EFL now? I doubt that it's as easy as telling them that they now play in the National League and promote another (2?) teams as I'm presuming that plans have been made by everyone once the fixtures came out
They wouldn't be playing in the National League - they wouldn't be in any league! Any Phoenix club would take a lot of work to get started so they'd have nothing for at least 12 months. Shame.
Its a BRILLIANT goal to cap a BRILLIANT start by Rochdale - Don Goodman 26/08/10
"They are quick to take control to deduct points off clubs but relinquish all responsibility when the club is at risk of expulsion"
Let's have a quick think about this, because I fear that matters are not fully understood.
"They are quick to take control to deduct points off clubs" - yes, those with questionable financial controls and/or reckless borrowing when participating in a football competition.
"...but relinquish all responsibility when the club is at risk of expulsion" - erm, yes, at risk because of those same irregularities whilst participating in that same competition.
So the EFL is criticised for the deductions it is entitled to make, and criticised for not acting to halt the consequences of those deductions.
It's a spectacular level of confusion.

Has it been ratified by the Fire service & Police ?
If we only play 22 home games, do we get a refund on our season tickets? Or is there a clause that defines a season as the number of league games that the EFL decides?

The club could assign a cup game instead maybe but I wouldn't worry about it just yet 😂

"Hello grizzly bud, it's the EFL here. Alright to talk?"
"DO I give a shit in the woods you fookin fat fookin fooker? 15 hours a month I work on my death bed you ungrateful bastige."
"Under threat of expulsion from the football league unless you can prove access to liquid and immediately realisable funds to settle the terms of the CVA sought by you..."
"More cash in my lads arse pockets in the fookin washing machine than youse'll ever see so yeah I've already said the old lady is saved. Now fook off"
"Sorry to have troubled you, Mr Dave. Case ignored."
Sorry if it has already been posted in this thread but things are now looking really grim. On Monday the Efl could postpone their fixture with MKD next Saturday. Another potential income less week.

Bury FC: EFL warns club opening game against MK Dons could be suspended
Bury's opening League One match of the season against MK Dons will be suspended if they do not provide proof of their financial viability by Monday.
The English Football League is still awaiting details of how the club plan to settle their debts after a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) was approved by creditors on 18 July.
The Shakers have already been deducted 12 points by the EFL.
Their fixture against Dons is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 3 August.
"The EFL board met today in respect of the ongoing matters at Bury FC where it determined that if the league is not in receipt of the previously requested information by 12:00 BST on Monday, 29 July, then the club's opening day fixture with MK Dons will be suspended," an EFL spokesman said.
"Both Bury and MK Dons have been informed of the league's position."
MK Dons said they were "very concerned for everyone at Bury" and hoped the match could still go ahead as planned.
Bury were originally given a deadline of Thursday to give evidence of how the terms of the CVA will be met and threatened with potential expulsion from the EFL in two weeks' time.
An EFL statement on Thursday said it had requested the information - which includes the "means of payment of outstanding football creditor debts" and "source and sufficiency of funding" - on several occasions.
The Shakers are still looking for new ownership after Steve Dale put the club up for sale in April.
They are also due to reappear in the High Court next Wednesday after a winding-up petition taken on by HM Revenue & Customs over an unpaid tax bill was adjourned in June for a third time.
