CONFIRMED: Season over for Blackpool as clubs vote to curtail League One season - but Fleetwood Town head into the play-offs

It follows a meeting between EFL sides today, during which it was agreed to keep promotion, relegation and play-offs.

The league table will now be decided by the unweighted points-per-game method, which will see Blackpool finish in 13th place.

Fleetwood Town, who have already returned to training, will finish in sixth but more crucially, inside the play-off spots.

Joey Barton’s men will take on Wycombe Wanderers over a two-legged semi-final while Oxford United will face Portsmouth in the other tie.

The dates for the play-off games will be confirmed in due course.

Coventry City and Rotherham United have been automatically promoted to the Championship while Southend United, Bolton Wanderers and Tranmere Rovers have been relegated to League Two.

League Two clubs also voted in favour of curtailing the season, meaning Richie Wellens’ Swindon Town side finish the campaign as champions.

Crewe Alexandra and Plymouth Argyle are also promoted to the third tier, while Cheltenham Town, Exeter City, Colchester United and Northampton Town will battle it out in the play-offs.

Stevenage will be relegated to the National League although they could be replaced by Macclesfield Town, who are the subject of a misconduct charge over their failure to pay its players.

Clubs in the Championship are due to play on, with fixtures set to resume from June 20.

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