9 Method of Determining League Positions

9.1 At the end of each Season the Club in each Division scoring the highest number of points shall be declared the Champion Club of that Division. Three points shall be awarded for each League Match won. One point will be awarded to each Club for a drawn match. If two or more Clubs have scored the same number of points their position in the Division shall be determined on goal difference, that is to say, the difference between the total number of goals scored by and against a Club in League Matches in that Season, and the higher or highest placed Club shall be the Club with the highest goal difference. If any two or more Clubs have scored the same number of points and have the same goal difference the higher or highest placed Club shall be the Club having scored the most goals in League Matches in that Season.

9.2 If two or more Clubs have the same number of points, goal difference and goals scored the highest placed Club shall be determined by the respective League records against each other, taking into account in order of precedence, points gained, goal difference and goals scored.

9.3 If the above procedures do not separate the Clubs then the highest placed Club shall be determined by reference to the following criteria, in the order prescribed:

9.3.1 number of wins;

9.3.2 goals scored in away games; or
West Brom 5, AFCB 4
9.3.3 in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 9.4.

9.4 Where two or more Clubs are tied after the procedures set out in Regulations 9.1 to 9.3 inclusive then the highest placed Club shall be the Club which has accumulated the lowest total number of penalty points (as determined in accordance with Regulations 9.5 and 9.6) following the completion of 42 League Matches in the relevant Season.
 
Bizarrely enough, SSN had us top of the table last night in their post match slot, saying we were top on alphabetical order…

When there are clearly rules in place to cover all permutations, what a strange thing to do on a global football news channel… I can only assume the YTS employee didn’t know what came next after goals scored…

sky also showed our score as 0-0 on the rolling thing, as they were showing the poxy 2-0 lead! they also spelt possession wrong. you just cant trust em.
 
In the head to head game...a draw....they were the away team....so on that basis i'm happy for them to be top.... and have the pressure !
 
Because they have a bigger stadium, as we are constantly reminded by opposing teams. Don't forget we should be playing in the Southern middle premier Division east with a stadium like ours.To answer your question I actually have no idea but if the table looks like that at the end of the season then I'll take it !!
