Football League bosses have today revealed that should Burnley clinch the Championship title tomorrow they will be denied their moment of glory on the day with a trophy presentation.
A spokesman said: “Should Middlesbrough win the title, the trophy will be presented at the Riverside Stadium following Saturday’s match. Whereas if Burnley or Brighton & Hove Albion are champions, the trophy will be presented at a later date to enable a greater number of the winning club’s fans to join in with the celebrations.”
The spokesman said the decision had been made following discussions with the three clubs involved.
