The Football League Third Division 1930/31 was the eleventh season of the third highest English football league . The division, which is divided into the north and south seasons, had both champions and promoted players in the Football League Second Division with Chesterfield FC and Notts County . FC Nelson and Newport County had to relegate athletically from both third division seasons . The two in the table below ranking second division FC Reading and Cardiff City took in the following third division season 1931/32 the free places in the southern season. With FC Chester and Mansfield Town , a promoted team was added to the north and south seasons, and in order to create a balance, the association regrouped FC Walsall from the south to the north. The AFC Rochdale and Norwich City , also located below , received enough votes in the reelection process of the League Association to be allowed to participate again in the Third Division in the following 1931/32 season.
