Ok a bit of irrelevant football question but interesting none the less.
1991/2 was sad for the fact Aldershot went bust before the season ended. Before I saw a league table..it always confused me how there were still 22 clubs at the end(back then div1(now prem) had 22, so it was 22-24-24-22 structure...or so i thought), as no club had "replaced" them.
In 1992/3 Maidstone also went bust just prior to the start of the Div3 season, and once again, the league consisted of 22 clubs, despite the fact nobody took their place.
After finding a 1991/92 league table before aldershot went bust i discovered Div4(as it was) had 23 clubs. Made me think..what the hell? why was the league expanded by 1 club...for 2 years.. then dropped.
in 1990-91 the league structure was how it is now
20,24,24,24.
Sorry this just completely puzzles me but passes by most people because according to offical statistics 1991-92 was 22-24-24-22, as was 1992-93. Now as Maidstone went bust in August, they never had a league standing...but...I found the last table before Aldershot went bust..
