Football League Third Division 1933/34

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Football League Third Division 1933/34 was the 14th season of the third highest English football league . The division, which is divided into the north and south seasons, had their two champions, Barnsley FC and Norwich City, and at the same time promoted players to the Football League Second Division . For the two promoted teams in the following third division season 1934/35, the two second division clubs FC Millwall and Lincoln City FC ranked in the table below . Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-placed northern clubs Rotherham United and AFC Rochdale as well as Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic and Cardiff City in the south received enough votes in the reelection process of the league association to win in the following season 1934/35 to participate again in the Third Division.
