The decision comes as the club remains subject to a winding-up petition filed by HMRC over outstanding tax debts dating back to April.A change of ownership is currently underway at the Kuflink Stadium, but the process has yet to be completed, leaving the club unable to satisfy the league's requirements regarding its financial standing.The three postponed fixtures are Saturday's away trip to Slough Town, the home match against Folkestone Invicta on August 15, and a visit to Chelmsford City on August 17, all of which will need to be rearranged.
