The Football League 1914 - 1915
After the Football Alliance was incorporated in 1892,
the Football League was gradually enlarged to two divisions of 20 clubs
each. The competition continued to be dominated by clubs from the north
and midlands with Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and Bristol City the only clubs
south of Birmingham participating. In the south of England the Southern
League remained the premier competition. At the end of the 1915 season
all competitive football was suspended for the duration of the Great War.
