		Notes - The 2019/20 League 2 season was abandoned before its completion due to the coronavirus pandemic. Other than the play-offs the last League 2 match of the season was the Carlisle v Newport County fixture on Tuesday March 10th leaving 112 matches still to play. With League 2 clubs having all played 36 or 37 League matches at that point the traditional points table couldn't be used to calculate final positions. Various ideas were put forward to even out the differences but a straightforward points per game solution for Leagues 1 and 2 was adopted (points divided by games played) with goal difference deciding placings where PPG was the same. The first part of the table above shows details of the traditional table and is followed by the PPG figures which been used to decide final table positions. The final column shows the differences in league positions the move from points to PPG made to each club. The move from points to PPG brought no real significant changes in League 2 - the same three clubs were promoted, the same four clubs played in the play offs and using either method Macclesfield dropped out of the League. The biggest difference was that in the points table Crewe finished in first place but PPG saw Swindon replace them in top spot. But is being champions in a season that wasn't finished the honour that it would be in a normal season? * Macclesfield Town had a total of 17 points deducted due to financial problems - full details As League 1 sadly lost Bury at the start of the 2019/20 season only three clubs were relegated from League 1 but four clubs were promoted to League 1. To get back to 24 clubs in League 2 only Macclesfield Town were relegated but Barrow (National League champions) and Harrogate Town (play-off winners) were promoted into the division. 2019/20 National League table and play-offs
