Football League Third Division 1924/25

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Football League Third Division 1924/25 was the fifth season of the third highest English football league . The division, which is divided into north and south seasons, had their two champions, Darlington FC and Swansea Town, and at the same time promoted players to the Football League Second Division . For the two promoted teams in the following third division season 1925/26, the two second division clubs Crystal Palace and Coventry City, which are ranked in the table below, took the places. Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-placed northern clubs Tranmere Rovers and Rotherham County as well as Brentford FC and Merthyr Town in the south received enough votes in the re-election process of the league association to win again in the following season 1925/26 to participate in the Third Division.
