Football League Third Division 1921/22

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Football League Third Division 1921/22 was the second season of the third highest English football league . The division, which was divided into the north and south seasons for the first time, had with Stockport County and FC Southampton their two champions and at the same time promoted to the Football League Second Division . For the two promoted teams in the following third division season 1922/23, the two second division clubs Bradford Park Avenue and Bristol City ranked in the table below . Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-placed northern clubs Halifax Town and AFC Rochdale as well as Exeter City and Southend United in the south received enough votes in the reelection process of the league association to again participate in the following season 1922/23 Third Division to participate.
