League Two clubs committed to ending season but question marks remain


League Two clubs have either nine or 10 regular-season games left to play in 2019-20

League Two clubs remain committed to finishing the 2019-20 season, but huge question marks remain over their ability to achieve it.

The clubs spoke in a video conference on Tuesday and have resolved to try to see out the campaign.

However, major challenges caused by the coronavirus pandemic lay ahead for that to happen.

The huge number of players whose contracts finish on 30 June is one of the major issues.

Starved of revenue and with the owners of a number of clubs suffering issues with their private businesses, it has become a major problem for extensions to these deals to be sanctioned.

It could lead to teams having to field massively under-strength sides if the campaign goes beyond 30 June and fuelled suggestions League Two would ask the English Football League, en masse, to end the season.

BBC Sport has been told this will not happen yet but, with so many problems facing them, there is no guarantee it will not unless there is clarity over when the campaign will resume.

No matches have been played in the fourth tier since 10 March and no definitive date has been set for the return of elite football in England.
