LEAGUE STATS - RE-ELECTION VOTING

Before the days of Automatic Relegation from the Football League into Non-League Football, a system was in place where the bottom sides of bottom tier in the League Pyramid would have to re-apply for League membership, a voting system was decided with Non-League clubs wanting to became a League member taking part each season in the hope of Election. Below is a list of League members who had to take part, broke down into how times they applied for Re-Election and the Seasons involved - for details click on the season links to see how your club did against others. This system was scrapped at the end of the 1985/86 Season to make way for Automatic Relegation to the Football Conference
