Clubs Vote to Finish League Two Season

League Two Season

Clubs have voted to bring an end to the League Two season.

The proposal is now waiting on approval from both the EFL and Football Association.

2019/20 League Two Season Will Not Continue

Collective Decision

The decision has come about after a discussion between the teams in the fourth tier and the English Football League.

The football season has been postponed since March due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus.

The league is set to be decided through the use of a points-per-game method.

But there have been plans to still include The play-off. This will still use a two-legged format and of course the final.

It’s still undecided how other divisions, including League One, will decide their seasons.

Sides in the third tier, most notably those going for promotion, have gone against concluding the season, and have insisted on playing out the rest of their fixtures.

Talks will continue on Monday between the EFL and the League One clubs.

It means clubs at both ends of League Two will be awaiting their fates.

How Does Points-Per-Game Work and Affect clubs?

Points-Per-Game is where the average points total is taken from both home and away games that a side has played in a season. This PPG system will then be used on clubs remaining fixtures.

This will take away any factors such as if a club has played more, or less, than a side in the league.

The Top three has finished with Crewe Alexandra on top, with Swindon Town and Plymouth Argyle occupying the final automatic promotion places.

Exeter, Cheltenham Town, Colchester and Northampton Town all finished in the play-off places.

By using PPG, it would mean The Robins would end the season as Champions, while Cheltenham would leapfrog Exeter into fourth.

Unfortunately, PPG wouldn’t help Stevenage. They would remain bottom of the Football League. However, the Hertfordshire side would avoid relegation to the National League.
