    Would it have to be agreed by us? Or can it be forced upon us?

    I agree with you. If they can't fullfill their fixtures they are in breach of league rules and should be shown the door. Good riddance.

    If they don't turn up don't we get awarded a 3-0 win?

    Probably if they just don't turn up, but the league could agree to a postponement.

    Don't we get a say in it. If we do we should say no way.

    Can we loan them some of our players? Maybe our back four and reserve goalkeeper.

    I doubt it if it's based on not being able to put a team out. Same when teams have had a game called off due to illness in the squad.

    But they can field a team. Just not one they deem competitive.

    even if it is off, the don and his 'team' won't tell us while we have already set off....... might put a bit of paper of the ground walls... 'match off' just in case you get to the graound

    Surely they would get a fine/point deduction for failing to play a match.

    Sunday league teams do.

    They have to fufil their fixtures so don't see it being called off. I wouldn't think we would be stupid enough to agree to it even if it was down to us.

    When Bryan Robson was Middlesborough manager they didnt fulfill a fixture due to illness and were docked 3 points which was enough to relegate them at the end of the season..think it was at Blackburn.

    its 9-0 and a 3 point reduction if Middlesbrough is anythingto go by - there's no president for postponing a game due to illness or whatever - the only president is you forfiet the game endof story

    I still wouldn't bet on us keeping a clean sheet.
