Excerpt: The 1896-1897 season was the ninth season of The Football League. The tables below are reproduced here in the exact form that they can be found at the The Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation website and in Rothmans Book of Football League Records 1888-89 to 1978-79, with home and away statistics separated. Note: Beginning with the season 1894-95, 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 goal average was used for this purpose for such a long time, it is presented in the tables below even for the seasons prior to 1894-95, and since the goal difference is a more informative piece of information for a modern reader than the goal average, the goal difference is added in this presentation after the goal average. During the first five seasons of the league, that is until the season, 1893-94, re-election process concerned the clubs which finished in the bottom four of the league. From the 1894-95 season and until the 1920-21 season the re-election process was required of the clubs which finished in the bottom three of the league.
