An amateur short-lived league that does not pass WP:GNG. Evidence of WP:BEFORE:

[1] - passing mention
[2] - primary source; doesn't count towards GNG
[3] - primary source but does confirm results and league tables for 2003-2019
[4] - British newspaper search in between 2000-2020 which produced zero exact matches Spiderone 10:43, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - A search of the Northampton Chronicle reveals some trivial mentions for a league of a similar name (one mentions it plays on a Thursday whereas this article claims to be a Monday league). The Northampton Mercury has no hits at all really. Spiderone 10:54, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The reference to the "NORTHAMPTON AND DISTRICT THURSDAY LEAGUE" is from an article dated 1907, so clearly not the same competition...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:58, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My main aim with those searches was to see if the league actually did go back further than 2003. It doesn't appear that it did or, if it did, it was just not notable. Spiderone 11:50, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FCHD has data since 1990 -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:17, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I've Googled some of the names of the clubs that have won the league before but it only seems to be coming up with namesakes really. Spiderone 15:27, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
