The 1920–21 season was the 23rd in the history of the Southern League. League was split into two sections, one for English clubs and one for Welsh clubs.〔(England – Southern League Final Tables ) RSSSF〕 The previous season had seen all Division One clubs elected to the Football League to form the new Third Division, leaving ten of the eleven clubs from Division Two (Caerphilly, who had finished bottom of Division Two, had resigned from the league) as the sole remaining members, all of which were from Wales. As a result, the league admitted thirteen new clubs from England (nine of which were reserve teams) and one from Wales (Aberdare Athletic).〔 Brighton & Hove Albion reserves won the English section, whilst Barry won the Welsh section.〔 Brighton reserves were declared Southern League champions after defeating Barry in a championship play-off; after a 1–1 draw at Millwall's Den stadium, Brighton beat Barry 2–1 after eighty minutes of extra-time in a replay at Cardiff City's Ninian Park. Alongside Barry, five other Southern League clubs applied for election to the two places in Division Three South of the Football League. Welsh Section runners-up Aberdare Athletic and the English Section's eighth-placed club Charlton Athletic won the most votes and joined the League the following season.〔(A history of admission to the Football League )〕 ==English section== All thirteen clubs in the English section were new to the league. 1 The system of using goal average to separate two teams tied on points was used up until the 1976–77 season. 2 The points system: 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for losing. 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「1920–21 Southern Football League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
