* There was no automatic promotion or relegation back in the 1897/98 season with the bottom two clubs in
Division 1 playing the top two in division 2 in test matches - play off games - to decide which clubs would
be in which divisions in 1898/99. Newcastle finished third in the test match table and so missed out on
promotion but it was then decided to increase the First Division by two clubs and Newcastle were voted 
into the top division. For full test match results, table and voting details click here.
