Football League Third Division 1928/29

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Football League Third Division 1928/29 was the ninth season of the third highest English football league . The division, which is divided into north and south seasons, had Bradford City and Charlton Athletic, 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 1929/30, the two second division clubs Port Vale and Clapton Orient, ranked in the table below, took the places. From both third division seasons only the AFC Ashington had to relegate athletically. For Ashington, York City was added to the third division. The remaining lower-placed southern clubs Exeter City and FC Gillingham and in the north Hartlepools United received enough votes in the reelection process of the league association to be allowed to participate again in the Third Division in the following 1929/30 season.
