  2. Chesterfield relegated from League Two

    FT: Morecambe 0-0 Cambridge

    Tonight's result for Morecambe confirmed that next season Chesterfield will be playing in non-league for the first time since joining the old Football League in 1921.

    A second successive relegation has looked a strong possibility from the moment Gary Caldwell was sacked as manager in September after a run of one win in 10 matches at the start of the season.

    The return of club legend Jack Lester as boss failed to suitably revive the cash-strapped Derbyshire club, with just eight more league wins since.

    Having apologised for their pending relegation on Saturday, Lester's departure was confirmed just 24 hours before their fate was confirmed mathematically.

  3. How it stands at the bottom...

    FT: Nottm Forest 3-0 Barnsley

    Bottom six.

    Barnsley's defeat by Nottingham Forest means they remain two points off safety going into the final two games.

    Bolton's game against Burton at the weekend now looks even more tasty!

  4. Blackburn promoted to the Championship

    FT: Doncaster 0-1 Blackburn

    We've got reaction to tonight's ups and downs in the English Football League on the way for you, so don't move a muscle!

    In the meantime, here's the story of how Blackburn sealed their return to the second tier this evening...

    Doncaster Rovers 0-1 Blackburn Rovers

    Blackburn Rovers are promoted back to the Championship at the first attempt after winning at Doncaster Rovers.

  5. League One full-time headlines

    So Blackburn are going up, while Shrewsbury will have to settle for the play-offs next month.

    MK Dons aren't down just yet, but they're all-but relegated with their defeat at Bradford tonight, which keeps the Bantams in with a slim chance of making the top six.

    Here are all the League One scores:

    • Bradford 2-0 MK Dons
    • Bristol Rovers 1-1 Wigan
    • Doncaster 0-1 Blackburn
    • Oldham 0-3 Southend
    • Rochdale 1-1 Plymouth
    • Shrewsbury 3-1 Peterborough

  6. FULL-TIME

    Nottm Forest 3-0 Barnsley

    A comprehensive win for Nottingham Forest against a Barnsley side who failed to get on the scoresheet.

    The Tykes remain two points from safety and fourth-from-bottom Bolton after the defeat.

  7. Full-times at the bottom of League One

    Bradford 2-0 MK Dons; Rochdale 1-1 Plymouth

    MK Dons are all-but relegated to League Two, but they're not mathematically down because Rochdale couldn't find a winner at home to Plymouth.

    However, the Dons need a near miracle to stay up from where they are, six points adrift with two games to go and a badly inferior goal-difference.

    Meanwhile, Oldham drop in to the danger zone with a heavy home defeat against Southend.

  8. FULL-TIME

    Derby 3-1 Cardiff

    What a win for Derby whose losing run in the Championship comes to an end as they come from behind to beat Cardiff City.

    Neil Warnock's Bluebirds will have to go to the wire in their final two games if they are to win automatic promotion to the Premier League.

    They are a point ahead of third-placed Fulham. Meanwhile, Derby move to within a point of the play-off places.

    A miserable night for Barnsley continues as Apostolos Vellios finds the net for Nottingham Forest late on.

  10. Blackburn promoted to the Championship
    Breaking

    FT: Doncaster 0-1 Blackburn

    Blackburn have done it! Charlie Mulgrew's goal gives them a club-record 13th away win of the season and with it automatic promotion straight back to the Championship.

  11. Newport 2-0 Accrington

    Accrington won't be sealing the League Two title tonight. A point would have clinched it for already-promoted Stanley, but Newport have doubled their lead in the closing stages through Frank Nouble.
