Shortly after that vote it was decided that each division would increase by
two clubs. In the First Division this was achieved by reprieving the
two relegated clubs. This left four vacancies in the Second Division
with the vote being between the two clubs who had previously not
been re-elected plus three of the non-league sides who had
originally failed in their bid for election. Voting - |
