League Two Clubs Vote to End Season and Decide Final Standings on Points Per Game

League Two clubs have voted to end the current season early, pending approval from the EFL and FA.

Clubs in England have been locked in negotiations over the past few weeks, with the consensus among lower league clubs being in favour of calling the campaign prematurely, while those further up the ladder cling on to the prospect of playing out the season to avoid breaching broadcasting contracts.

The idea of returning to play out the season without the revenue stream of gate money, however - since any games played in the foreseeable will almost certainly have to be behind closed doors - is universally unpopular among those in the lower leagues.

A small cabal of playoff-chasing League One clubs threw their backing behind a plan to finish the season on Friday, but the general feeling among the EFL's bottom 47 clubs has been that the season is unfinishable, with an overwhelming majority expected to vote in favour of deciding the season based on points per game at the current junction.

And after a consensus was taken among League Two clubs on Friday, the BBC are reporting that the season is to be concluded early.

Voting is said to have been unanimous, and will see three clubs promoted automatically to League One, with no promotion playoffs taking place.

No teams will be relegated to the National League.

The decision is still to be rubber-stamped by the two presiding footballing bodies, but the unanimity of the vote means they are unlikely to face any opposition.

The exact final placings are yet to be decided, and clubs are believed to be in favour of a complex PPG method which takes home and away records into account.
