League Two clubs have voted to end the 2019/20 season early due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Using
an unweighted points per game system, Swindon, Crewe and Plymouth have
been promoted to League One as Cheltenham Town, Exeter, Colchester and
Northampton will compete in the play-offs.
Meanwhile, bottom-placed Stevenage will be relegated
if the National League can give assurances their 2020/21 campaign will
go ahead.
On the vote to use an unweighted points
per game system, EFL chair Rick Parry said: “Whilst it has always
remained the board’s position to play the remainder of the season where
possible, the decision reached at today’s meeting follows a full and
considered consultation period with our member clubs.
“The
board has endeavoured to listen to all views and alternative approaches
but understands that the decisions taken will not be met with universal
satisfaction from all clubs.
“Today’s outcome
ensures that the League and its clubs remains as faithful as possible to
the previously agreed Regulations and that there is consistency in the
approach adopted across the EFL in all divisions if required.
“It
is clear that the challenges facing the League from the outbreak of the
COVID-19 pandemic are unprecedented and I thank the contribution of EFL
clubs in making this important determination.”
EFL matches have been suspended since March 13.
The Championship season is set to resume on June 20, while the fate surrounding League One remains uncertain.
An announcement is expected to be made on England’s third tier later today.
