Because of the slope of their pitch.

And their chairman died 10 days ago. Brutal timing from spfl.

I hope no "staunch" blazers at the SFA are thinking of retrospective punishments for clubs guilty of this heinous offence.

I wouldn't put it past some of them, mind.

Must've taken a while for anyone to realise there was a slope ? There's always a small club somewhere getting shat on

 

[Glenmore Road]

In all seriousness, I've not heard anything about this until now but - to state the obvious - levelling a pitch is not something that can be done mid-season.

I'd be confident that not even the SPFL could be so incompetent that they failed to inform Bonnyrigg of the problem & likely punishment when they got into the League.

That being the case, the deadline for completing the work should have been in July and the points deduction should have occurred before the season started.

Few things annoy me more than mid-season points deductions.
And that's without the prospect of legal action disrupting an entire division.

Have seen fans of the other league 2 clubs moan about the state of the pitch, but not the slope.
Maybe it's the slope causing the pitch to cut up easily?

 

[Hattie]

How many so called top flight clubs have postponed games due to unplayable pitches, numerous times from same clubs over the last few years?? Nothing done!
A disgraceful decision, as normal come down major heavy on top of the smaller clubs! Yer deer hun cheated for over 15 years and absolutely nothing done to them.
As corrupt an association as you will get. Spineless cowards

Disgusting decision
