    Sorry to be stupid but the way BBC Sport has described the June 8th meeting. Indicates that 37 lg 1 and 2 clubs could vote to end the EFL Season,therefore ending the Championship as is. Or am I being more stupid than normal and it has to be 51% of Championship clubs.
    Either way, it seems to make all this training and testing and planning the clubs are doing pointless.
    Again apologies if I have got this totally wrong.

    I think they will try to get the games played in the championship otherwise no real point returning to training. League 1 & 2 will call it, then decide how to deal with promotion and relegation.

    It would be a ****** if Bradford and Stevenage got a say on Barnsley's future or have I got this totally wrong?

    surely the only one legible to vote are the championship teams. I was under the impression that L1 and L2 had already been cancelled.

    They can monetize the championship via I follow and sky.

    League 1 and 2 hold very little interest to tv and have small followings to watch online.

    I wonder what happens.

    Are you suggesting that the EFL would be happy to let most League 1 and 2 clubs fold in order to have the Premier League, Championship and richest of the rest division?

    No, I’m not sure how you assumed that! I’m saying the championship will play to an end this season and L1 / L2 won’t.

    I thought you were being cryptic. Apologies for misinterpreting your post.

    It might only mean putting a cross on a piece of paper. Even League 1 and 2 chairpersons should be able to do that.

    Do the Supporters Club of St Mirren get a vote?
