The Football League Third Division 1956/57football league . The division, which is divided into the north and south seasons, had their two champions with Derby County and Ipswich Town and at the same time promoted to the Football League Second Division . For the two promoted teams in the third division season 1957/58, the two second division clubs FC Bury and Port Vale, which are ranked in the table below, took their places. Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-placed northern clubs Tranmere Rovers and Crewe Alexandra as well as Swindon Town and Norwich City in the south received enough votes in the reelection process of the league association to return to the 1957/58 season Third Division to participate.
