2012–13 Southern Football League
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2012–13 season will be the 110th in the history of the Southern League since its establishment in 1894. From the previous season onwards, the Southern League was known as The Evo-Stik League Southern, following a sponsorship deal with Evo-Stik. For this season, only two clubs will be relegated from the Premier Division, and one from each Division One. This is to allow for expansion to 72 clubs for the 2013–14 season.[1]

Southern Football League Premier Division
Season        2012–13
← 2011–122013–14 →
The Premier Division features five new clubs for the 2012–13 season:

Bedworth United, promoted as play-off winners of Division One Central
Bideford, promoted as champions of Division One South & West
Gosport Borough, promoted as play-off winners of Division One South & West
Kettering Town, relegated from the Conference National for financial reasons
St Neots Town, promoted as champions of Division One Central
Hinckley United and Maidenhead United were originally relegated to this division from the Conference North/South, but were reprieved after the relegation of Darlington and the resignation of Kettering Town from the Conference National.[2][3] Darlington were relegated to the Northern League, and Kettering applied to join the Southern League, allowing for a further reprieve for Hemel Hempstead Town.[4]
