Summary

The weekend just finished would have seen the Final Day of the Championship & League One regular seasons, with League Two ending the week before. We decided to put our coronavirus-blocking blinkers on for a few hours, and imagine that football has continued... Here is what we think would have happened, and what we would have enjoyed watching and discussing on three dramatic Final Days. We hope you enjoy this podcast and take it in the right spirit!

1:07.6	of the championship and the league one seasons with League Two having finished a week before that.
