COLCHESTER United will have goal-line technology in place at a home game for the first time ever - if the League Two play-offs are confirmed.

The U's are waiting for confirmation of their proposed play-off semi-final against Exeter City, which if ratified is likely to take place later this month.

If the play-offs go ahead as expected, Colchester will host the first leg of the semi-final against the Grecians at the JobServe Community Stadium.

And goal-line technology is expected to be used in both legs in each semi-final and then in the final which is set to be played at Wembley, as four teams battle it out for promotion to League One.

It is also likely that the four teams competing in the League Two play-offs will be allowed to make up to five substitutes per game, with matchday squads increased to 20 players.

They are expected to follow the lead of the Premier League and Championship, in a bid to assist clubs who are coming back from the enforced break due to Covid-19.

Meanwhile, Colchester's proposed play-off games against Exeter will both be shown live on Sky Sports.

Sky Sports will have exclusive rights to the 15 EFL play-off matches due to be played, if proposals are confirmed next week.

However, it is understood that the play-off matches will not be available for streaming on any basis.

The EFL's 71 clubs will vote next Tuesday on a framework to end the season should it need to be cut short.

With no restart date set for either of the bottom two divisions and only the clubs set to be involved in the League Two play-offs back in training, it seems almost certain that the League One and Two regular seasons will be curtailed.

League Two clubs have already indicated their wish to curtail the season.

Season ticket holders at Championship clubs will be able to see all of their team's remaining regular season matches as the EFL announced a new arrangement with Sky Sports.

The broadcaster will screen 30 of the remaining 108 matches in the 2019-20 season in the second tier, which is set to resume on Saturday, June 20 after being suspended since March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

EFL Chair Rick Parry said: “I would firstly like to thank the team at Sky Sports for their patience and support whilst we have worked through some of the complex issues surrounding our agreement that have arisen as a result of live sport being unable to take place due to the current crisis.

“There is no question that COVID-19 has detrimentally affected all industries and, whilst we have only ever wanted to return when it is safe to do, we have always understood that when we did, we had to balance the requirements of our broadcast partners with the unique and challenging financial circumstances that our Clubs face.

“We are delighted to have reached such an agreeable and sensible arrangement that ensures the financial impact to Clubs is minimised, Sky Sports are able to get their football business back up with one of the most eagerly anticipated Championship run-ins in years and, importantly, fans get access to games during a period where guidelines prevent them from attending in person.”

Sky Sports Managing Director Rob Webster said: "The partnership between Sky Sports and the EFL supports clubs and their communities across the country. We are pleased to have reached a solution which works for them; and appreciate the positive and collaborative spirit of the negotiations.

“The availability for existing Season Ticket holders to stream matches from their Club platform will compliment Sky Sports in telling the complete story of the climax to season.”

Quest will also provide extended highlights on both Saturday evenings and midweek, whilst talkSPORT will provide exclusive national radio commentary on some Championship matches.
