linkSunderland's League One rivals Bury handed 12-point deduction for 2019-20 season after rescue planThe cash-strapped club will start the campaign on -12 points Bury’s creditors have approved a rescue plan to clear some of the club’s debts, which means the League One club will begin the 2019-20 season with a 12-point deduction. Owner Steve Dale put forward a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) in June, which will see the club’s football creditors paid in full and unsecured creditors, including HMRC, paid 25% of the money owned. CVA nominee Steven Wiseglass said: "The agreement means the club avoids going into administration or liquidation, and it provides a degree of financial certainty in that its historic debts will be dealt with.” EFL regulations state that a CVA qualifies as an insolvency event and means the Shakers will face a 12-point penalty, alongside local rivals Bolton Wanderers - who entered administration in May. Bury remain up for sale and will reappear in the High Court later in July after a HMRC winding-up petition over an unpaid tax bill was adjourned for a third time. The Shakers begin their League One campaign on Saturday August 3 against MK Dons. Sunderland travel to Gigg Lane on December 21, before hosting them at the Stadium of Light on March 21, 2020.

That's Bury and Bolton. Fans penalised for the owners poor running of the club.

Bury game postponed, don't think they can muster up a team. Sad days for them, don't think they'll survive. If I was an up and coming young footballer, I would play for them for nothing and try and get noticed

How will this affect fixtures for the rest of the season? We'll get a break over the Xmas period. Even longer one if Bolton go the same way

Even longer one if Bolton go the same way Bury game has actually been deleted already from the fixtures on SAFC site. Bolton would be one of the games I would normally attend, Boxing Day, so if they did go to the wall, wouldn't affect me 🙄
