2012–13 Isthmian League

The 2012–13 season was the 98th season of the Isthmian League, which is an English football competition featuring semi-professional and amateur clubs from London, East and South East England. Also, it was the seventh season for the current incarnations of the Division One North and Division One South.

The constitution of the three divisions was announced on 25 May 2012.[1] For this season, only two clubs were relegated from the Premier Division, and one from each Division One. This was to allow for expansion to 72 clubs for the 2013–14 season.[2]

Due to league expansion there were only two relegation places this season. Initially, Carshalton Athletic and Hastings United were relegated, but Thurrock were subsequently deducted three points for fielding an ineligible player, finished bottom of the table and were relegated for a second consecutive season. This allowed for an effective reprieve for Carshalton Athletic.[3]
