The Football League Third Division 1923/24 was the fourth season of the third highest English football league . The division, which is divided into the north and south, had the Wolverhampton Wanderers and Portsmouth FC 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 1924/25, the two second division clubs FC Nelson and Bristol City ranked in the table below . Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-ranked northern clubs Hartlepools United and AFC Barrow as well as Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic and Queens Park Rangers in the south received enough votes in the re-election process of the league association to win in the following season 1924 / 25 to participate.
