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.

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]

The Premier Division consisted of 22 clubs, including 16 clubs from the previous season, and six new clubs:

Whitehawk won the division to earn a second consecutive title and were promoted to the Conference South along with play-off winners Concord Rangers. 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 a suspended player on the second day of the season. It sent Thurrock bottom of the table and they were relegated for a second consecutive season.[3][4] A subsequent appeal was rejected. This allowed for an effective reprieve for Carshalton Athletic.[5]
