Promotion and relegation are set to stand following EFL vote

Morecambe and their fellow League Two clubs will meet today and decide how to end the season

The model, which had previously been set out by the EFL board, was agreed by a majority of all clubs - and a majority in the Championship - during the vote on Tuesday.

Clubs in Leagues One and Two will now meet by division later today to formally determine whether to resume playing the 2019/20 season or opt for curtailment.

Although Championship clubs will restart their season on June 20 and League Two sides had previously decided to end their campaign, the situation in League One remains unclear.

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 thelLeague from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic are unprecedented and I thank the contribution of EFL Clubs in making this important determination.”

Barnsley and Tranmere Rovers had put forward their own ideas on resolving the season, alongside amendments to the EFL board proposal which were put forward by Lincoln City, Stevenage and Ipswich Town.
