1909–10 Football League

22nd season of the Football League April 2023 July 2013 The Football League 1909–10 Aston Villa Grimsby Town New Team in League Lincoln City 1908–09 1910–11 The 1909–10 season was the 22nd season of The Football League. Beginning in the 1894–95 season, clubs finishing level on points were separated according to goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded). 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. During the first six seasons of the league, (up to the 1893–94 season), re-election process concerned the clubs that 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 for the clubs that finished in the bottom three of the league.
