How are the regional allocations made?
Step 2: By Latitude, 22 most northerly, 22 most southerly
Step 3: By Latitude, the 22 most northerly to the NPLPD then the remaining 44 split by Longitude, 22 Westerly to the SLPD, 22 Easterly to the ILPD
Step 4: By Latitude, the 22 most northerly to the NPLD1N, then again by Latitude the next 22 to the NPLD1S. The remaining 88 split 44:44 by Longitude. Again the Westerly teams to the SL and Easterly teams to the IL. Finally both sets of 44 split North & South by Latitude preserve the current SLD1M, SLD1S&W and ILD1N, ILD1S split.
These maps are only for fun and based only on average attendances at a single point in time.. The actual constitutions will be agreed by the FA and the various League at the AGMs in June 2010. No value should be given to the content and no liability is taken what so ever. The Maps will be updated on a random basis to reflect the latest league positions.
