and live on Freeview channel 276
The EFL board is due to meet today ahead of a vote over the way forward for the third-tier campaign.
And Rovers have nailed their colours to the mast with the FA’s former chief-executive not keen on points per game condemning his relegation-threatened side to a place in League Two – if games can’t be finished.

Hide AdPalios said: ‘In a sporting competition, you set the rules at the start of a competition and everybody's happy, understands the rules and the consequences of success and failure - you don't change the rules of the league mid-season.
‘If the decision is made that we will not play the season out then I think it's quite clear the season should be voided, rather than deciding on what is a mid-season change of rules and a fairly arbitrary decision as regards how we deal with promotion and relegation.
‘In order to find an acceptable compromise, it has to be just: a compromise that is fair.
‘Our suggested solution follows on from what League Two voted in favour of last week and while that’s not a binding vote, it’s indicative of where their intentions were and that is promotions, without relegation.’
