Newcastle United have voted against playing their remaining fixture list at neutral grounds - along with every other Premier League club.
A host of grounds had been lined up for sides to finish their season but the bottom six clubs felt losing home advantage for crucial games was unfair.
Now, the rest of the clubs have supported their concerns by voting likewise at a Premier League meeting today.
Top-flight chief Richards Masters said: "Everybody would prefer to play at home and away if at all possible, and it's clear to see some clubs feel more strongly about that than others.
"We are in contact with the authorities and listening to that advice, while also representing club views in those discussions."
The government's previous stance was that the only way the season could be completed was at neutral venues.
But clubs would now like to demonstrate they can put fixtures on safely without the threat of fans congregating.
Masters said: "Since COVID-19 became an issue we've been talking to the authorities about the conditions in which we could get the Premier League back up and running and taking all that advice on board, but it is an ongoing dialogue.
"But all must be cognisant of what authorities are telling us, and we'll continue with that consultation."
During the meeting Masters revealed clubs had stated their desire to finish the season on the pitch, but for the first time the possibility of average points per game was discussed.
Masters said: "It's still our aim to finish the season obviously, but it's important to discuss all of the options with our clubs.
"Obviously we won't be playing until the middle of June.
"It doesn't seem quite right to be talking about playing before we've taken a decision to return to the first stage of training.
"But in terms of how those matches will take place there's a lot of water to pass under the bridge, and we'll continue to assess the circumstances then."
