The Football League Third Division 1949/50 was the 23rd season of the third highest English football league . The division, divided into the north and south, had the Doncaster Rovers and Notts County their two champions and at the same time promoted to the Football League Second Division . For the two promoted teams in the third division season 1950/51, the two second division clubs Plymouth Argyle and Bradford Park Avenue ranked in the table below . Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-placed northern clubs Halifax Town and York City as well as Newport County and Millwall FC in the south received enough votes in the re-election process of the league association to participate again in the 1950/51 season Third Division to participate. Due to the expansion from 22 to 24 clubs in both seasons, they took on two newcomers with Scunthorpe & Lindsey United and Shrewsbury Town as well as Colchester United and Gillingham FC .
