with home and away statistics separated.
Beginning with the 1894?95 season, clubs finishing level on points were separated according to goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded), or more properly put, goal ratio. In case one or more teams had the same goal difference, this system favoured those teams who had scored fewer goals. The goal average system was eventually scrapped beginning with the 1976?77 season.
Since the
Fourth Division
was established in the
1958?59 season
, the bottom four teams of that division have been required to apply for
re-election
.
