Every source, on the table
The complete register of sources behind this site: what each one is, when it was checked, exactly what it supports, and where it stops.
This is a flat ledger, not a bibliography for show. A source appearing here does not endorse this site, and this site’s use of a source implies no affiliation with its publisher. The rules for how these sources are applied are on the methodology page.
Football Club History Database — Kent League divisional champions [HIST-FCHD]
- URL
- https://www.fchd.info/lghist/kent.htm
- Checked
- Supports
- Kent Football League divisional champions from 1966–67 to 2012–13: 47 seasons, with division names exactly as recorded.
- Limits
- An independent historical compilation, not a competition publisher. The record is not extended beyond the seasons it supplies, and it does not include final tables, results or reserve-section honours lists.
SCEFL — League Cup winners since 1923 [HIST-SCEFL-CUP]
- URL
- https://scefl.com/league-cup-winners-since-1923
- Checked
- Supports
- League Cup winners and, where recorded, runners-up from 1923–24 to 2018–19, plus the explicit no-competition notes on the page: 84 season records.
- Limits
- The current SCEFL site publishes this roll of honour. KentLeague.com remains independent of the SCEFL; reproducing the roll implies no affiliation. Missing runner-up fields for many early seasons are left blank.
Football Foundation — Seasonal pitch maintenance calendar (written with the Grounds Management Association) [FF-SEASONAL]
- URL
- https://footballfoundation.org.uk/support-article/seasonal-pitch-maintenance-calendar-your-year-round-care-guide
- Checked
- Supports
- Broad seasonal task timing for natural-grass pitches: mowing-height bands, feeding, repair, aeration and drainage planning, inspection and record-keeping reminders.
- Limits
- National guidance, not a site-specific specification. Weather, soil type, usage and professional advice can all override it. Figures quoted from it are the source page’s bands, not measurements of any particular ground.
Football Foundation — Groundskeeping equipment: essential tools (written by the Grounds Management Association) [FF-EQUIPMENT]
- URL
- https://footballfoundation.org.uk/support-article/groundskeeping-equipment-essential-tools-for-pitch-maintenance
- Checked
- Supports
- Equipment families for grass-pitch maintenance, share/hire/buy decision points, and machine maintenance and operator-safety basics.
- Limits
- The source groups equipment into dated price tiers; those figures can go stale and are not repeated here as current market prices. No product endorsements are taken from it.
Football Foundation — Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund and PitchPower pages [FF-GPMF]

- Get your pitch match fit — https://footballfoundation.org.uk/get-your-pitch-match-fit
- PitchPower — https://footballfoundation.org.uk/pitchpower
- Checked
- Supports
- The existence and purpose of the fund, the broad categories of supported work and equipment, and the fact that applications and decisions happen on Football Foundation channels.
- Limits
- Time-sensitive. Eligibility criteria, amounts and deadlines change; none are republished here. Anyone considering an application must read the current Football Foundation pages.
IFAB Laws of the Game — Law 1: The Field of Play [IFAB-LAW-1]
- URL
- https://www.theifab.com/laws/latest/the-field-of-play/
- Checked
- Supports
- Adult field-of-play markings and dimension ranges used by the line-length planner and the line-marking checklist: touchline and goal-line ranges, penalty and goal areas, centre circle, arcs and maximum line width.
- Limits
- Youth formats and competition-specific rules are out of scope. Tool outputs are geometric estimates, not compliance certification for any competition.
Football Club History Database — Kent League final tables [FCHD-FINAL-TABLES]
- URL
- https://www.fchd.info/lghist/kent.htm
- Checked
- Supports
- Thirty-three season pages from 1980–81 to 2012–13: 40 published division tables and 668 printed rows, including row marks, division notes and recorded arithmetic limits.
- Limits
- An independent historical compilation retained intact as a 33-page corpus. Thirty season pages use only FCHD; 2007–08 uses primary tables, 2010–11 uses FCHD only for the Premier Division, and 2012–13 uses the later primary final tables. FCHD warns that some lower divisions are absent and some tables do not balance.
Old Kent League site — top First Division winners and runners-up [KENT-WAYBACK-TOP-FIRST]
- URL
- https://web.archive.org/web/20130603150810id_/http://www.kentleague.com/Archives/top-first%20div%20winners.php
- Checked
- Supports
- Thirty top-division winner and runner-up rows from 1968–69 to 1997–98, preserving the names exactly as printed on the archived board.
- Limits
- A primary snapshot of one honours board. It supports only the printed top two for the listed seasons and does not establish full standings or modern club identities.
Old Kent League site — top Premier Division winners and runners-up [KENT-WAYBACK-TOP-PREMIER]
- URL
- https://web.archive.org/web/20130517181612id_/http://kentleague.com/Archives/top-Premier%20div%20winners.php
- Checked
- Supports
- Fourteen top-division winner and runner-up rows from 1998–99 to 2011–12, preserving the names exactly as printed on the archived board.
- Limits
- A primary snapshot of one honours board. The separately recovered 2012–13 final Premier table supplies the next season and is identified separately on the combined page.
Old Kent League site — earlier 15 May 2012–13 table corroboration [KENT-WAYBACK-EARLIER-TABLES-2012-13]
- URL
- https://web.archive.org/web/20130530181746id_/http://kentleague.com/Kent%20League%20Tables/non-active%20all%20divs.php
- Checked
- Supports
- An explicitly earlier dated snapshot: a 17-row Premier table and a 14-row First Division block labelled Updated Wednesday 15th May, retained as historical corroboration only.
- Limits
- Superseded for publication by the later official final snapshot 20130628183734. It is not the normalized primary table and does not qualify the published 2012–13 First Division as unfinished.
Old Kent League site — 2010–11 official final tables [KENT-WAYBACK-FINAL-TABLES-2010-11]
- URL
- https://web.archive.org/web/20110530124802id_/http://www.kentleague.com:80/Kent%20League%20Tables/non-active%20all%20divs.php
- Checked
- Supports
- Official archived final Division One and Division Two tables for 2010–11, with 9 and 10 rows respectively and every printed spelling and figure preserved.
- Limits
- This primary snapshot supplies the two lower divisions only. The 2010–11 Premier Division on the public season page remains the separate source-bounded FCHD table.
Old Kent League site — 2012–13 official final tables [KENT-WAYBACK-FINAL-TABLES-2012-13]
- URL
- https://web.archive.org/web/20130628183734id_/http://www.kentleague.com:80/Kent%20League%20Tables/non-active%20all%20divs.php
- Checked
- Supports
- Official archived final Premier Division and First Division tables for 2012–13, with 17 and 14 rows respectively; the Premier top two also supplies the final row of the combined senior top-two board.
- Limits
- Printed exceptions remain visible: VCD Athletic has 30 points rather than the 33 implied before its three-point deduction, and Phoenix Sports has goal difference −7 although 60 goals for and 66 against imply −6. Neither figure is repaired.
Old Kent League site — final Premier Division placings matrix [KENT-WAYBACK-PREMIER-PLACINGS]
- URL
- https://web.archive.org/web/20130603153539id_/http://www.kentleague.com/Archives/final%20league%20placings.php
- Checked
- Supports
- An 11-season Premier Division placings matrix covering 2001–02 to 2011–12, with each printed club spelling and position retained.
- Limits
- A placings matrix only. It does not provide played, won, drawn, lost, goals, points or division coverage outside the Premier Division and is not a substitute for season tables.
Old Kent League site — 2007–08 final tables [KENT-WAYBACK-FINAL-TABLES-2007-08]
- URL
- https://web.archive.org/web/20130603160440id_/http://www.kentleague.com/Archives/League%20tables/non-active%20all%20divs%2007-08.php
- Checked
- Supports
- Primary final Premier, First and Second Division tables for 2007–08, with 17, 12 and 13 rows respectively and every printed figure preserved.
- Limits
- Croydon is printed on four points in the Second Division although one win and two draws imply five; the page gives no explanation. FCHD corroborates only the 17-row Premier table numerically.
Old Kent League site — Reserves First Division winners [reserves_first_division]
- URL
- https://web.archive.org/web/20130603141509id_/http://www.kentleague.com/Archives/Reserves%20First%20Div%20winners.php
- Checked
- Supports
- Thirty-four consecutive Reserves First Division winner and runner-up rows from 1978–79 to 2011–12, transcribed from the archived primary page.
- Limits
- This target board ends in 2011–12. The public 35-row board appends one separately labelled 2012–13 continuation from the later primary final table; reserve spellings are not merged with senior club profiles.
Old Kent League site — Reserves Second Division winners [reserves_second_division]

- Supports
- Eight consecutive Reserves Second Division winner and runner-up rows from 2003–04 to 2010–11, transcribed from the archived primary page.
- Limits
- This target board ends in 2010–11. The public nine-row board appends one separately labelled 2011–12 continuation from a primary final table; reserve spellings are not merged with senior club profiles.
Old Kent League site — Reserves Cup former winners [reserves_cup]

- https://web.archive.org/web/20130418091817id_/http://kentleague.com:80/Archives/League%20cups/Reserves%20Cup%20ex%20winners.php
- Checked
- Supports
- Thirty-four consecutive Reserves Cup winner and runner-up rows from 1978–79 to 2011–12, transcribed from the archived primary page.
- Limits
- This 34-row target board is separate from the main League Cup dataset. The public 35-row board appends one separately sourced 2012–13 Divisions 1&2 Cup row while retaining that source label verbatim.
Old Kent League site — 2011–12 Second Division final-table continuation [KENT-WAYBACK-RESERVES-SECOND-2011-12]

- Checked
- Supports
- One continuation row from the primary table labelled “Second Division — Updated Monday 7th May”: Phoenix Sports first and VCD Athletic second in 2011–12.
- Limits
- This row is not part of the Reserves Second Division honours-page extraction. Its competition mapping and exact table label remain visible on the combined public board.

- Checked
- Supports
- One continuation row from the primary table labelled “First Division — Final 2012-2013 Table”: Whitstable Town first and Herne Bay second in 2012–13.
- Limits
- This row is not part of the Reserves First Division honours-page extraction. It remains visibly identified as a continuation from the separate official final table.
Old Kent League site — 2012–13 Divisions 1&2 Cup final continuation [KENT-WAYBACK-DIVISIONS-1-2-CUP-2012-13]
- URL
- https://web.archive.org/web/20130708204053id_/http://www.kentleague.com/competitions/League%20Cup/1&2%20Cup.php
- Checked
- Supports
- One primary cup-final row labelled “Kent League Challenge Cup (Divisions 1&2) 2012-13”: Phoenix Sports beat Herne Bay 3-2.
- Limits
- This row comes from a separate cup page, not the Reserves Cup former-winners extraction. Its exact competition label and 3-2 score remain visible rather than being silently renamed.
