At the end of 1914/15 season - the last season before the Great War - Stoke  were elected into the Football League at the expense of Glossop. When League football resumed in 1919/20 Stoke retained that League place but a further election meeting was held as League re-organisation meant that four new clubs were to be elected into the Second Division.
