Season 1895–96 was the 23rd season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the sixth time, and the Scottish Cup for the 23rd time. == Overview == Dumbarton continued to struggle against the bigger and richer professional clubs and again finished 10th (and bottom) of the First Division with 8 points. In the subsequent 'election' process, Dumbarton failed to gain enough votes from the other clubs to maintain their place in the top league and were relegated to the Second Division, their place being taken by the Second Division champions Abercorn. In the Scottish Cup, Dumbarton were defeated in the first round by Rangers, after a 1-1 draw. Locally, after eight years as holders, Dumbarton lost in the final of the Dumbartonshire Cup to Renton. During the season, 11 'other' matches were played, and results here were no better than those in the league and cups, with 3 won and 8 lost, scoring 16 goals and conceding 44. Unfortunately the drop to the Second Division had a couple of important 'knock-on' effects. Firstly, Alex Lawrence of Dumbarton had to give up his presidency of the Scottish League as the post had to be held by a First Division club representative. In addition, with the loss of income from the 'big club' fixtutes, at the club's AGM on 29 July 1896, it was decided that Dumbarton would return to amateur status. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1895–96 Dumbarton F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
