Mystery ... solved ...


THE EASTERN COUNTIES LEAGUE 1976-1977

 

For one season only the Eastern Counties League used a unique and previously mysterious points scoring system.  In the last week of September 2011, however, Ron Price passed this information to the site:

 

For info – the point scoring in this season was:

 

 Home win

 4 points awarded

 Away win

 5 points awarded

 Draw

 2 points to each team

 

At that point Ron had never “... seen a table with HW and AW shown separately ...”

 

Ron then got in touch with Mick Blakeman, who supplied the table details below ... and in doing so put an end to one of non-league football’s ‘mysteries’ (at least as far as this website was concerned).
