The Football League Third Division 1954/55football league . The division, which is divided into the north and south, had their two champions, Barnsley FC and Bristol City, and at the same time promoted players to the Football League Second Division . For the two promoted teams in the third division season 1955/56, the two second division clubs Ipswich Town and Derby County ranked in the table below took the places. Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-placed northern clubs Grimsby Town and Chester FC and Walsall FC and Colchester United in the south received enough votes in the reelection process of the League Association to return to the 1955/56 season Third Division to participate.
