At the end of the 1892/93 season the Second Division of the Football League was to be extended from 12 to 16 clubs. Lincoln City, Crewe Alexandra, Burslem Port Vale and Walsall Town Swifts were all re-elected to the Second Division. Elected to the Second Division were Woolwich Arsenal (now Arsenal), Liverpool, Newcastle United and Rotherham Town from the Midland League. Accrington had lost their place in the First Division after the Test series but declined a Second Division spot and were replaced by Middlesbrough Ironopolis. Bootle resigned in August and were not replaced leaving 15 clubs in the Second Division for the 1893/94 season. Voting figures have not survived the passage of time - unless you can help!
