The Football League Third Division 1946/47football league and the first season after the end of World War II . The division, which is divided into the north and south, had the Doncaster Rovers and Cardiff City, their two champions and at the same time promoted to the Football League Second Division . The two in the table below ranking second division clubs Swansea Town and Newport County took in the following third division season 1947/48 two places in the Third Division South. Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-placed north clubs FC Southport and Halifax Town as well as Norwich City and Mansfield Town in the south received enough votes in the re-election process of the league association to participate again in the 1947/48 season Third Division to participate. To ensure the same number of participants, Mansfield Town was regrouped from the south to the north.
