Premier Division Start: Sep 23
(Championship start was postponed until St. Paul's United protest against their
relegation had been settled; on Sep 12 they were demoted to Division 1. Only
a revision by the Olympic Committee might reverse this decision. However, on
Oct 31, the Supreme Court ordered 'that the St. Paul's United Football Club be
fixtured in the Premier League or until further order by the court.')
