That's the problem mate, we can't.

The EFL need to stick to something they actually know...like the value of football stadia...Oh wait a minute

After an all night bender at uni, me and a few mates thought it would be a laugh to go to Chelsea v Derby at the bridge in early 1983.
Never been previously, followed the crowd down a busy road watching as blue scarved fans peeled off and went in to various turnstiles. Until we reached the last set of gates and saw the sign "The Shed". 
A police guy on a horse was shouting through a megaphone that "all away fans should turn around now and return down the road in the opposite direction to the stand for the away fans". To which a cheerful cockernee voice chirped "wots the dacking point of saying that - if any geezer turned rahnd nah, ee'd get a dacking kicking". 
So in we went. Plenty of space so we stood apart. Then we scored 2 quickfire goals. The locals were certainly restless. Then my mate Brian, a lanky gormless guy from Burnley boomed out in a loud Lancashire accent.... "eee.. I doon't knaw why yerr not cheeerin....yer team's just scorrred". 
Which sealed our fate...... ?

So bad.....no roll eyes ? emoji I had to clap ?

He was invited to a posh dinner after that game, All were seated and then one of the guests asked him to Pass the Port, Being from Agentina he misheard and ran out as fast as he could.

One of Winstons put downs when in Parliament to a female MP, She said, If I were your Wife, I'd put poison in your tea, Winstons reply, If I were your Husband i'd drink it.

Living in Nottinghamshire a lot my mates were red dogs and on one occasion I thought it was a good idea to go with them and stand in the Trent end against Derby, I thought I was keeping a low profile till one of them wrote Derby fan in chalk on my back, mates eh. I was at old Trafford with my two sons on the day of the Hillsboro disaster in the days when you could just turn up and pay on the day . The away end was sold out so we ended up in the Utd end , word came through that some Liverpool fans had lost their lives and their fans were cheering which was pretty sickening. The England 5-1 game against Germany we were on holiday in Tenerife and there were quite a few Germans in the hotel who were not impressed when the DJ played dam busters over the tannoy. 
 
 

Here here. Totally with you

So we now know what's what, 23 players of professional standing, 2 long term injuries = 25 players, Not allowed to sign anyone until the EFL get what they're after...which I asume is a big points deduction.
Now here's the rub, If i'd done the exact same as MM and I firmly believe i'd done nothing wrong...would I take on those at the EFL...you bet your life I would, I'd spend every penny I had in the law courts to prove my innocence, Once innocence has been proven then i'm off to the high court to screw the living daylights out of those who have besmirched my club and name, Is it possible to take the EFL to court...that I do not know, But i'm a vindictive so and so and I hold a grudge.
So MM if you are innocent in your mind...take em on, You have this old uns full support.

Hartlepool FA cup on a pitch that was worse than the BBG, A good few of us went in the Hartlepool end 50+, Not a lot to show...until 20mins before K Off, Middlesboro came in known as the "Frontline" we didn't know at the time, More and more came in, Vastly out numbered, Backs to the wall stuff, Rescued by OB, Quite a buzz tho... We were holed up at a place called Seaton Carew wow what a tip, Went in their local, Full of old men all huddled around the TV/Video, We asked the landlord what's with all them old boys, Dirty beggers they are...all come in the watch Baywatch that I tape for them, They're not allowed to watch at home?

We used to visit home ends quite a bit before all seater and all ticket games. 
We'd walk up to the ground, normally after supping a few pints, and check out the prices. If it was 50p or more cheaper than the away end, we'd head in. 
It did get nasty occasionally due to the fact that 4 of us would walk into the middle of their fans and start singing Derby songs, but 9 times out of 10 they would leave us alone until the police moved us out and escorted us to the away end.

I would love it...just love it if we end up with some of this...

Have to say the more I read all this, and the longer this all goes on, I really do wonder if it is as simple as blind, childish obstinance on the EFL's part, whilst we're saying "look, I get you're not happy but legally we've done nothing wrong, so what you're asking us to do, well, much as we could do it, we can't actually legally do that so you'll just have to accept that the way we've done our accounts is legally correct, so put down your rattle, take your thumb out your mouth, stop whining and let us move on with our lives please".
