WHO GOES WHERE

 

SORTING out who goes where is a game that you can play with the aid of a map and up-to-date league tables. The Times’s effort was based on the tables on Sunday, February 15. The rules are:

 

 

STEP ONE

 

Relegated from Football League — 2; clubs finishing in top 19 in Conference, minus the two promoted to the third division — 17; clubs promoted from Isthmian, Southern and Northern Premier leagues — 3.

 

 

STEP TWO

 

Relegated from Conference — 3; clubs finishing in the top 13 of the Isthmian, Southern and Northern Premier League premier divisions, minus the three promoted — 36; play-offs that send two clubs up from the Southern League and Isthmian League and one from the Northern Premier League premier division — 5.

 

 

STEP THREE

 

Isthmian premier division clubs not in step two — 9; Southern premier clubs not in step two — 7; Northern Premier League premier division clubs not in step two — 9; clubs finishing in top seven in Southern League east and west divisions — 14; clubs finishing in top six in the Isthmian League north and south divisions — 12; clubs finishing in top 13 in Northern Premier first division — 13; play-off between eighth-placed clubs in Southern east and west divisions — 1; play-off between seventh-placed clubs in Isthmian north and south — 1.

 

 

STEP FOUR

 

Isthmian League south and north clubs not in step three, minus clubs relegated to step five — 31; Southern League east and west division clubs not in step three, minus clubs relegated to step five — 25; Northern Premier first division clubs not in step three, minus clubs relegated to step five — 6; clubs promoted from step five in usual manner — 11; clubs applying from step five — 15.

It looks like the Times are only a week behind the informative Braintree Town programme from the other week.
