League One clubs vote to end seasons early

Clubs in League One had previously been divided over whether or not to bring the season to an early conclusion.
Initial talks stalled after at least six clubs, including Sunderland, Portsmouth and Ipswich Town, said they wanted to continue the campaign.
However, the new regulations - proposed by the EFL board and approved by the 71 member clubs earlier on Tuesday - meant just 51% of teams in any given division needed to agree on ending a season early.
The points-per-game system does throw up one significant change to the League One table, with eighth-placed Wycombe Wanderers replacing sixth-placed Peterborough United in the play-offs.
Wycombe will move up to third because they have at least one game in hand on each of their play-off rivals.
Promoted: Coventry City (champions), Rotherham United
Play-offs: Wycombe Wanderers v Fleetwood Town, Portsmouth v Oxford United (dates tbc)
Relegated: Tranmere Rovers, Southend United, Bolton Wanderers
