The Football League Third Division 1951/52football league . The division, which is divided into north and south seasons, had Lincoln City and Plymouth Argyle both of their champions and at the same time promoted to the Football League Second Division . The two in the table below ranked second division Coventry City and Queens Park Rangers took two places in the Third Division South in the following third division season 1952/53. Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-placed northern clubs FC Darlington and AFC Workington as well as Exeter City and FC Walsall in the south received enough votes in the league association's re-election process to return to the 1952/53 season Third Division to participate. To ensure the same number of participants, Port Vale was regrouped from the south to the north.
