PLANNED POSTPONEMENTS
Each team is allowed up to two planned postponements per season, as long as the League is given at least 14 days' notice.
If both clubs agree to bring a fixture forward and the League approves it, this will not count as one of your two postponements.
Top Tip: If you know in advance that your team will be unavailable, let the League know as early as possible.
Bringing fixtures forward is often the best solution and is encouraged by the League.
