It follows discussions between clubs in the fourth tier and the English Football League (EFL) over how the season should be concluded.

The table is set to be decided using a weighted points-per-game method, although promotion and relegation spots are not finalised.

There are still plans for the play-offs to take place as usual, with two-legged semi-finals and then a final.

Crewe Alexandra, Swindon Town and Plymouth Argyle currently occupy the top three places in League Two and are likely to be promoted - meaning they will take on the Seasiders next season.

Cheltenham, Exeter City, Colchester United and Northampton are likely to be the four that compete in the play-offs.

At the bottom end of the table, Stevenage currently occupy the final place.

Meanwhile, teams in League One will have to meet again on Monday after failing to come to an agreement.

On Thursday, six third-tier clubs - including Fleetwood - had said they were determined to complete their remaining fixtures.
