Information About

Football League Third Division North




The Third Division South had been formed the previous season (as simply the Third Division) with 22 teams mostly from the , the Central League , the North Eastern League , the Lancashire Combination and the Birmingham Combination . A further two teams were added in 1923 to take the total to 22.

Only one promotion place was available each season from Third Division North to the Second Division , which made it very difficult to win promotion. Eight teams were ever-present in the division for the thirty years of its existence.

In 1958 the two regional Third Divisions were merged together, to create the new Third Division and Fourth Division .
