2011–12 Southern Football League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2011–12 season was the 109th in the history of the Southern League, which is an English football competition featuring semi-professional and amateur clubs from the South West, South Central and Midlands of England and South Wales.

The league allocations were released on 20 May 2011.[1] From this season onwards, the Southern League was known as The Evo-Stik League Southern, following a sponsorship deal with Evo-Stik.

Premier Division[]

The Premier Division consisted of 22 clubs, including 15 clubs from the previous season and seven new clubs:

  • Two clubs promoted from Division One South & West:
    • A.F.C. Totton
    • Frome Town

Brackley Town won the Southern League Premier Division and were promoted to the Conference North along with play-off winners Oxford City.

Evesham United, Swindon Supermarine and Cirencester Town finished in the relegation zone and, as in the previous season, all three relegating clubs were placed to the Division One South & West, while Hemel Hempstead Town were reprieved from relegation for the second time in three seasons due to Conference Premier clubs demotion.

Division One South & West[]

Shortly before the start of the season Andover resigned from the league and folded. No replacement club was admitted and the season was played with 21 clubs.[2] Therefore, relegation zone was reduced to one place in order to make up the numbers for the 2012-13 season.

Division One South & West consisted of 21 clubs, including 17 clubs from previous season and four new clubs:

  • Three clubs relegated from the Premier Division:

Bideford won the division and were promoted to the Premier Division along with play-off winners Gosport Borough. Stourport Swifts finished bottom of the table and were relegated.
