Split
At the beginning of the 2007–08 season, the league was split into the Northern Premier League Division One North and the Northern Premier League Division One South. This was to reflect a standardisation of the National League System, in which the Northern Premier League and the Isthmian League had their first divisions split to reflect the situation in the Southern League. The Northern Premier League had wanted 20 teams per division but faced opposition from the Southern League because it feared massive movement from its Midlands Division.

Famous quotes containing the word split:
“Would you convey my compliments to the purist who reads your proofs and tell him or her that I write in a sort of broken-down patois which is something like the way a Swiss waiter talks, and that when I split an infinitive, God damn it, I split it so it will stay split, and when I interrupt the velvety smoothness of my more or less literate syntax with a few sudden words of bar- room vernacular, that is done with the eyes wide open and the mind relaxed but attentive.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“When I split an infinitive, God damn it, I split it so it will stay split.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
