League Two’s season has been concluded after the clubs ‘unanimously indicated’ they wanted to end the season with the final standings being decided on a points-per-game basis and with the play-offs remaining as planned (via BBC Sport).
It’s understood that this still needs to be ratified by both the EFL and the Football Association, but a similar agreement is yet to be reached by those currently in League One.
The news was relayed by The Athletic’s Leeds United writer Phil Hay via his Twitter account, with the reporter reiterating the Championship’s desire to conclude the season in the second tier on the pitch. Here is how some of the Elland Road faithful have responded.

What do we think?
It’s clear from the above responses that many are starting to believe the Championship will have no alternative but to go down the same route and determine the final standings based on points per game. In this scenario, Leeds United would be promoted back to the Premier League for the first time since their relegation in 2004 – so it is clear to see why some Leeds fans appear excited by this latest development.
