The clubs’ proposal to have no relegation has been rejected by the EFL.
Seemed that the L2 clubs wanted to have their cake and eat it: no relegation from their division to the National League, but still have promotion to L1.
It means, in all likelihood, the National League will need to find a way to promote two teams. And we’ll probably be playing Stevenage whenever the next season is, assuming we don’t somehow find a way to go up.

When whatever is called normality eventually returns it will be interesting to see which clubs disappear due to financial issues.Divison 2 might only have a tiny number of survivors

And we’ll probably be playing Stevenage whenever the next season is, assuming we don’t somehow find a way to go up. If there'd been a consensus from the beginning, whether it's null+void or postpone, then some (perhaps many) would've complained but at least we could all plan around it. Instead it's just pissing about, waiting for someone else to make the decision for you. That's the nature of all the leagues being little empires; they want the power to manage their own affairs but shirk the responsibility to make decisions when it's needed.

I'm saying nuffin' ...

We still need to know what formula they are going to use to finalise league positions.Then maybe some play offs but how and when is still up in the air

If anyone knows the difference between Points per Game and Weighted Points per Game I'm all ears.
Although I'm guessing it won't make much difference to us either way.

Nicolas, I believe weighted PPG takes into account how many games each team has left and how many are home and away whereas the other way is a bit more black and white. Hope this helps.

The still bothering with the playoffs is the bit that confuses me. I don’t quite understand why they cant just promote the highest placed teams as games aren't going ahead any time soon?
Assume it must be due to the potential for legal challenges or similar?

Assume it must be due to the potential for legal challenges or similar? If they can get testing in place there is no reason why you can’t do playoffs but who pays for the required tests will be the issue.
