NB: in principle, Espa�a Industrial had earned promotion; however 
    on July 21, 1953, the directors of the club submitted 
    documentation at the Federaci�n Catalana de F�tbol officially
    declaring the club the affiliated team of Barcelona; as the
    regulations of the FEF prohibited an affiliated team to compete
    at the same level as its associated club, Espa�a Industrial 
    were excluded from competing at the highest level; due to this,
    Celta obtained the top level place.
