The Football League Third Division 1927/28football league . The division, which is divided into north and south seasons, had their two champions, Bradford Park Avenue and Millwall FC, and at the same time promoted to the Football League Second Division . For the two promoted teams in the following third division season 1928/29, the two second division clubs FC Fulham and FC South Shields ranked in the table below . From two third division seasons only Durham City had to relegate athletically. For Durham, Carlisle United was added to the third division. The remaining lower-placed southern clubs Merthyr Town and Torquay United as well as Nelson FC in the north received enough votes in the re-election process of the league association to be allowed to participate again in the Third Division in the following 1928/29 season.
