[edit] Promotion and relegation
In the first season of the Southern League none of the teams were put forward for election to the Football League nor automatically promoted. Conversely, none of the sides were relegated. However, New Brompton were promoted to Division One as winners of the Southern League Division Two, expanding the First Division to 10 teams. In addition to this four new teams were elected to the Second Division; Wolverton L & NWR, the 1st Scots Guards, Guildford, and Windsor & Eton.
