Uncertainty Continues Over National League Promotion Places

Uncertainty continues whether the usual system of promotion and relegation will happen in the National Leagues.

The playing season has ended because of coronavirus but who will go up or down hasn't been agreed.

According to BBC Sport the EFL may only accept one club from the National League. 

A letter sent to all 68 clubs on Monday warned that if either the National League play-offs do not take place, or League Two in the English Football League (EFL) is not completed, then "it is quite possible that the promotion place for a play-off winner could be jeopardised".

It emerged on Friday that if the EFL is unable to finish their season then they are likely not to relegate Stevenage and only accept one club from the National League.

Should that happen then Barrow are expected to be promoted to League Two. But what other promotions/relegations will take place remains to be seen.
