  Manchester United set a new Football League record when winning 14 consecutive League matches in a season (results). That record still stands although it is now shared with Bristol City (1905/06 - results) and Preston North End (1950/51 - results).

Doncaster Rovers equalled the record lowest points total of 8 for the season set by Loughborough in Division 2 in 1899/1900. That record still stands.

 + It was then decided that each division would increase by two clubs. In the First Division this was achieved by reprieving the two relegated clubs. This left four vacancies in the Second Division with the vote being between the two clubs who had previously not been re-elected plus three of the non-league sides who had originally failed in their bid for election. Voting -
