Brentford have been awarded three points as their proposed fixture with Bolton Wanderers will not be going ahead.
With Bolton still in a period of crisis regarding ownership, the fixture had initially been postponed after being scheduled to play on Saturday, April 27, after unpaid players went on strike.
Taking to their website and social media on Friday, Brentford confirmed the English Football League had decided the game - which was rearranged for Tuesday, May 7, would not go ahead, and that points would be awarded in their favour.
'Our game against @OfficialBWFC will not be played and we have been awarded the three points on the basis of a 1-0 victory,' announced the club account.
Commenting on the matter, the EFL released at statement saying: 'Following the decision taken by Bolton Wanderers’ Safety Advisory Group (SAG) to issue a Prohibition Notice preventing Tuesday’s rearranged Sky Bet Championship fixture with Brentford from taking place, the EFL will not be asking that the game is played at a future date.
'There is no provision under EFL Regulations to direct Clubs to play at a later date than four days past the conclusion of the season and, as a result, it has been determined that Brentford will be awarded the three points on the basis of a 1-0 victory.
'As a consequence, Bolton Wanderers is now deemed to be guilty of misconduct by the EFL which will result in disciplinary proceedings against the Club being taken at an appropriate time.'
Bolton are set to face Nottingham Forest on Sunday after players agreed to participate in the final game of the season.
Wanderers are currently subject to a takeover from Laurence Bassini, who claims to have taken control of the club despite a public insistence from Bolton that his potential move is off.
The Championship side issued a statement on Thursday evening saying there would be no further discussions with the former Watford chairman.
On Tuesday Bassini had committed to providing proof of funds for his potential purchase to the EFL within 48 hours, but Bolton say that deadline - itself an extension on a previously agreed date - passed without the required information being shown.
