More detail ..
At its meeting in London today, the Board of Directors of The Football League considered matters relating to the abandoned Sky Bet Championship match between Blackpool and Huddersfield Town on May 2.
The Board took the view that the 0-0 scoreline that stood at the time of the game's abandonment (in the 48th minute) should be officially recorded as the final result of the match, as it believes that league points should always be earned on the field of play.
In addition, the Board agreed to charge Blackpool with failing to fulfil a fixture and the matter will be heard by a Football Disciplinary Commission in due course.
In making its judgment the FDC will be asked to consider any matters relating to compensation to Huddersfield Town and ticket refunds to supporters.
The Board also asked its executive to review the League's regulations regarding abandonments to ensure that any such matches can always be played to a conclusion or replayed altogether if deemed necessary. |  |

What I don't get is if the club employed extra police to ensure that fans didn't get on the field of play should they have to help pay any fine? Was obvious where the problems were going to come from and yet they just stood and did nothing.
Not saying the protestors were wrong just the police (with horses that were never used) were as useful as a chocolate fireguard. | |

Typical lily livered response from the FL! | | | |

You would be gutted if you were a Huddersfield fan - do you get more money the higher the league place? | | | |

I do wonder if KO has any influence on this because guarantee if it had been another team he'd be the first to throw the book at them! | |

Should have given HTFC the 3 points, they've set a dangerous precedence with this ruling. |  |

Totally agree BBTRR - surely leaves it open to corruption on the last day of the season if one side needs 3 points and fans of the opposition are bribed to invade the pitch and not move? | |
