EFL Board today

From O/S just now: At an Extraordinary General Meeting on Tuesday 9 June, EFL Clubs voted on proposals in respect of changes to EFL Regulations in the event season 2019/20 is curtailed.

Proposals were submitted by Barnsley and Tranmere Rovers alongside amendments to an EFL Board proposal which were put forward by Lincoln City, Stevenage and Ipswich Town.

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 into EFL Regulations, which now means the following applies in the event a division curtails its 2019/20 season or it is ended by any other means.


1. Final divisional placings will be determined on unweighted points per game (if required).
2. Promotion and relegation should be retained.
3. Play-Offs will be played in all circumstances but will not be extended (beyond four teams).

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. The Championship Clubs restart their season on 20 June.

So looks like League 2 will probably confirm their existing decision later today and we'll know where we are - with us up in 2nd and 4 to play off. They're not all going to agree to play just to keep Stevenage up. (And probably still go down.) League 1 who knows, Tranmere will hope to ally with the big few who miss out on play offs to get a majority playing again, but their proposal's lost out to have wider play offs.

Meeting over. We are in League1.

Break out the bubbly and book the band!!!!

Well deserved by the manageMent and players, especially given the youth and inexperience of both.
