1907–08 Southern Football League

[1] At the end of the season all the reserve teams left Division Two.

Three Southern League clubs, Bradford Park Avenue, Queens Park Rangers and Tottenham Hotspur, applied for election to the Football League, although QPR later withdrew their application.

[2] Bradford PA were successful in the ballot, and replaced Lincoln City in the League.

However, Stoke later resigned from the League, and a special meeting was arranged to elect a new member.

Although at the meeting Stoke stated that they wished to remain in the League, a ballot was still held, in which Stoke and Tottenham won 20 votes (Rotherham County and Southport Central were also involved), after which the management committee voted 5-3 in favour of Tottenham.
