Promotion Confirmed

The division had previously indicated their preference for curtailment but following today’s Extraordinary General Meeting, Clubs were required to pass a resolution in accordance with Regulation 9A.

As a result, the final League standings have now been confirmed meaning that Swindon Town have been confirmed as Champions with Crewe Alexandra and Plymouth Argyle securing the second and third automatic promotion places to League One.


Cheltenham Town, Exeter City, Colchester United and Northampton Town will contest the Sky Bet Play-Offs with the following schedule agreed:

1st legs:

Thursday 18th June
Colchester United v Exeter City – 5.15pm
Northampton Town v Cheltenham Town – 7.45pm

2nd Legs:

Monday 22nd June
Exeter City v Colchester United - 5.15pm
Cheltenham Town v Northampton Town – 8.00pm

Final (Wembley Stadium)

Monday 29th June 7.30pm

Under the proposals agreed by Clubs, the 24th placed Club in the League Two will be relegated to the National League provided the Board receives the necessary assurances that the National League will start Season 2020/21 (i.e. the relegated Club in League Two has somewhere to play).

Due to ongoing disciplinary matters, the final placings cannot yet be confirmed.

Never in doubt.

Be good to see Exeter fail at Wembley again too.

Hurrah, kind of.

I'll take it though.

Very weird promotion but feck it I'll take it.

Out of the basement

Underwhelming but that's that, a promotion that won't live long in the memory, or maybe it will ... for all the wrong reasons [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

And to think I was underwhelmed with Del's 16/17 promotion. I hope we aren't turning into a L1/L2 yo yo club (if L2 even exists in its current form at the start of next season)

Bleddy Hell Freathy is your glass always half empty ?

Yayyy. Like other posters have said a bit underwhelming to say the least. Right I'm off to get my Skybet Lge 2 Promotion shirt with Fook off Sawyer emblazoned on the back.

Now that would make my summer !!

The great man speaks

Out of Brents Basement whoop whoop, not an ideal way to get promoted but i'll take it,

I think the main reason it seems a bit flat is because I've been sure we'd go up for about six weeks now.

Another piece of Brents legacy put to bed

Yeah I’ll take that...but not the best way to go up

In his first interview after officially securing a return to Sky Bet League One, Ryan Lowe talks to pafc.co.uk about the Greens' promotion.

With the season suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic in mid-March, EFL member clubs voted to end the season on a points-per-game basis on Tuesday. As a result, Argyle retain third place in the Sky Bet League Two table, and with it, a return to the third tier a year after relegation.

Lowe looks back on an unforgettable first year in Devon, with his focus already placed on next season in Sky Bet League One.

I thought we would go up this season before the first game was played, but certainly not in circumstances like these. Still all credit to Lowe and Shumacher and the squad, and as some of the squad believed - if the season had continuedI reckon we would have been Champions.

At least we will no longer be in the division below Accrington Stanley.

Had a look at the Tranmere site. Their fans still think they're safe due to a French court ruling today that teams cannot be relegated on PPG in the French leagues.

Geddon and geddup.

Although I can't be there tonight to accept my reward. On behalf of all us truckers out on Moon Base Alpha - congratulations Argo. Cheers.

Great news!

Surprising outcome.
Feels a bit of anti climax.
Wonder if fans will be allowed in before 2021?
