League Two will be settled on points per game if season is curtailed

Relegation and promotion will take place and play-offs will also be held, if the campaign cannot be finished.

At an Extraordinary General Meeting earlier today, EFL clubs voted on proposals in respect of changes to EFL regulations in the event of the 2019-20 season being curtailed.

Following a vote on each by all 71 Clubs, it was overwhelmingly agreed (by a majority of all clubs and a majority in the Championship) to adopt the EFL board’s proposal.

This includes final divisional placings being determined by an unweighted points per game (if required), promotion and relegation taking place and play-offs being held, but not extended beyond four teams.

Championship clubs re-start their season on June 20 but clubs in Leagues One and Two will meet by division today to formally determine whether to resume playing the 2019-20 season or opt for curtailment.

Mansfield Town currently sit 21st in League Two and would remain there on a PPG basis.

EFL chairman 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.”
