The future of the 2019/20 League One season remains in the balance after a deadlocked meeting of club owners on Friday.

League Two clubs decided unanimously to end the season, with Crewe, Swindon and Plymouth getting promoted to League One, while Exeter, Cheltenham, Colcheter and Northampton battle it out in the play-offs and no relegation.

However, League One clubs could not come to a decision which suited all parties, and will return to the table for more discussions.

An EFL statement read: "There were varied views shared in League One and it was determined that there would be a further period of reflection and consultation to understand what creative solutions could be implemented. It was acknowledged that the need to find innovative and creative solutions was of paramount importance as was the need for decisions to be taken quickly.

"In addition, Championship Clubs met earlier this week and have indicated that it is their wish to play on and conclude the season.

"The EFL will continue to work with all its members to progress the discussions and arrive at the necessary decisions as appropriate in what remain challenging and complex circumstances."
