THE regular football season for Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City appears to be over, following discussions between League Two clubs and the English Football League.

After an indicative vote in favour of an early conclusion to the season due to coronavirus, the table is set to be decided using a points-per-game method.But the decision still has to be ratified by the EFL and the Football Association.

Crewe Alexandra were top of the division when the season was halted, with Swindon Town and Argyle in the other two automatic promotion places, and Exeter in one of the play-off spots.

Stevenage were bottom and occupied the sole relegation slot.

It is understood League Two clubs want to use a weighted points-per-game system to finalise the table, which takes into account the average points won both home and away.

That method removes any bias for sides who have played more home games than their rivals.Under the system, Swindon would overtake Crewe to claim the title, with Argyle staying in the third and final automatic promotion spot.

There are still plans for the play-offs to take place as usual, with two-legged semi-finals and then a final.The four teams currently in the play-offs - Exeter, Cheltenham Town, Colchester United and Northampton Town - would remain there, but Cheltenham would move above Exeter into fourth position.

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

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

With League One and the National League, both of which feed clubs into League Two, yet to decide how their final tables will look, it means clubs at the top and bottom of League Two will have to wait for their fate.
