1 The system of using goal average to separate two teams tied on points was used up until the 1976-77 season.
2 The points system up until the 1982-83 season: 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for losing.
In the sixth season of the Northern Premier League none of the teams were put forward for election to the Football League nor automatically promoted. Conversely, none of the sides were relegated, but Bradford Park Avenue folded at the end of the season. They were replaced by newly-admitted Worksop Town (returning after an absence of five years).
