At the end of 38-39, Rovers had to reapply for League Membership. For some reason the other clubs voted 'em back in! http://www.nonleaguematters.co.uk/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=3506 North Hartlepools FL 38 re-elected to Division Three (North) Accrington Stanley FL 29 re-elected to Division Three (North) South Liverpool LC 5 Scunthorpe & L Utd ML 4 Burton Town ML 0 Wigan Athletic CL 0 South Bristol Rovers FL 45 re-elected to Division Three (South) Walsall FL 36 re-elected to Division Three (South) Gillingham SL 15 Chelmsford City SL 1 Colchester United SL 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Just for the record; the 39-40 season lasted just three games. City & Rovers were both in Div 3 S. City P3 W1 D1 L1 F5 A5 Rovers P3 W0 D1 L2 F2 L7. http://www.englishfootballleaguetables.co.uk/final/f1939-40.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
