Has this ever happened previously,where a club has not been able to fulfil a fixture? If it has happened what were the consequences for the club involved? i.e. points deduction,etc.

Blackburn Rovers under Hughes. Said they hadn't enough senior pros fit and ducked a game, despite league refusing postponement.. Think they got points deducted and a fine.

Relegation is the least of their worries. Rogue chairmen always bring you down and theirs is a corker. In serious danger of closure if no credible buyer steps forward.

Normally everything is Raz's fault but i think I'm safe in blaming Didi Harmann for this one :)

Close 3 sides of the ground and let Horwich RMI return to Horwich.
I know they've been Leigh RMI and now Leigh Genesis but would they fancy a return to their original town?
