National League clubs vote to end 2019-20 season with remaining matches cancelled

National League clubs have voted in favour of ending the 2019-20 season at its current point.

Almost 90 per cent of clubs across the National League, the National League North and National League South have responded in favour of ending the current campaign - which was brought to a halt due to the coronavirus pandemic on March 16.

Outcomes regarding promotion and relegation remain under ‘careful consideration’.

A statement read: "In the knowledge that the ordinary resolution has passed, the League's board has chosen to communicate the decision now and before the last few responses are received, which will not change the outcome, to enable clubs to make business decisions with greater clarity as soon as possible.

"The options concerning the sporting outcomes of the 2019-20 season remain under careful and timely consideration, and further updates will be given in due course."

Barrow sat four points clear at the top of the National League when the season was suspended with Ebbsfleet, Maidenhead, AFC Fylde and Chorley occupying the bottom four.
