Chorley set to drop to National League North after clubs vote to settle the season on unweighted points per game

On Wednesday, National League member clubs voted to conclude the season in the three divisions on unweighted points per game - subject to FA Council approval.

That would mean the Magpies finishing bottom of the National League and being relegated, with second bottom AFC Fylde also set to go down.

How many clubs go down with them depends on the play-offs being played in National League North and National League South.

The plan is for those play-offs to go ahead in the near future.

Wednesday's vote meant that Barrow were crowned champions and return to the Football League after 48 years away.

A statement released by the National League following the vote said: "The outcome is Barrow AFC are champions of the Vanarama National League, King’s Lynn Town are champions of Vanarama National League North and Wealdstone are champions of Vanarama National League South.

"The end of season play-offs will now proceed with the clubs that qualify, subject to the competition rules and the applicable government guidance on the phased return of elite sport.

"The number of clubs to be relegated from the Vanarama National League will be determined so as to maintain a National Division of 24 clubs after any relegation from EFL League Two, promotion to EFL League Two and promotion from the National League North and National League South divisions.

"There shall be no relegation from Vanarama National League North and Vanarama National League South."

Chief executive officer Michael Tattersall commented: “I congratulate each of our champions clubs on their successful campaigns.

"The enforced curtailment of our season does nothing to discredit the quality of the football played and I am pleased that our clubs have overwhelmingly supported the award of their titles.

"We can now also look towards the completion of end of season play-offs.”
