Newton Heath didn't take any action this season in regards to the Citizens rebranding themselves as Manchester City?

No immediate plans are in the works for Newton Heath to rename the club.

League Approves Promotion Test Match Format Change In a surprise move by the Baseball League board on Saturday last, a format change for the test match series to determine the promotion and relegation fates of the respective Second Division and First Division teams was announced. Beginning with 1895, after the conclusion of the regular season, the bottom two First Division clubs and the top two Second Division clubs will meet in an abbreviated “second season” in which each club will play the two clubs in the other division twice at home and twice on the road, i.e., four matches against each other division opponent for a total of eight matches in all. At the conclusion of the eight matches, the first and second sides in the series table will play in the First Division for the next season, and the third and fourth sides will play in Second Division. To start with, each Second Division clubs will host a First Division club for two matches, and then the other First Division club for another two matches. The following week, each First Division club will host each of the two Second Division clubs, also for two matches apiece. Should any clubs end in a draw for the second place side after the test matches have completed, the club with the better difference between runs scored and runs allowed will win the spot in the top level for the next year. This new format replaces that which had taken place each of the last three years, in which the bottom three top level clubs played their appropriate top three lower level club counterparts directly in a first-to-two-wins series for the right to either keep their top level position, or else advance to the top level. A spokesman for the League board said that the idea behind the change to require more matches is to better determine the more proficient two sides of the four, so as to be quite certain that the proper clubs will be placed in their respective divisions, based on their performance on the pitch, for the following season. |

Baseball League 1895 First Division Final Table Promotion and relegation between the two Divisions was again decided by a series of Test Matches, but there was a change of format from that used in the previous three seasons. The top two clubs in the Second Division and the bottom two in First Division met in an abbreviated “second season”. Each club played eight matches: two home and two away matches against each of the two sides from the other division. At the conclusion of the matches, the first and second sides in the second season league will play in the First Division, and the third and fourth sides in the Second Division. Everton Blues and Notts County Magpies are relegated to the Second Division for 1896. |

I just discovered this. I didn't think I would be too interested because I just don't really care about England, but you made it so authentic-seeming of England at the turn of the century that I absolutely love it. I only started reading at 1892, so I didn't catch the full history, but the way you have this dynamically evolving is great, too.

I would definitely recommend that you read the Creation Story. That sets the tone for the whole thing. If you make it through that (it's four posts), check out the Dynasty Mission. |
