Football League Third Division 1922/23

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Football League Third Division 1922/23 was the third season of the third highest English football league . The division, which is divided into the north and south seasons, had their two champions FC Nelson and Bristol City, and at the same time promoted to the Football League Second Division . Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-placed northern clubs AFC Ashington and Durham City and in the south Aberdare Athletic and Newport County received enough votes in the re-election process of the league association to win again in the following season 1923/24 to participate in the Third Division. Only Stalybridge Celtic voluntarily withdrew from gaming. For the two north clubs Nelson and Stalybridge Celtic took in the following third division season 1923/24, the two in the table below ranked second division Rotherham County and Wolverhampton Wanderers the places. As part of an expansion to 22 clubs from now on, the Third Division North took on two new clubs: the Doncaster Rovers and the AFC New Brighton . The only climber in the South Division was Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic .
