1935–36 Southern Football League

The 1935–36 season was the 38th in the history of the Southern League. The league consisted of Eastern and Western Divisions.[1] Margate won the Eastern Division whilst Plymouth Argyle reserves won the Western Division. Margate were declared Southern League champions after winning a championship play-off 3–1.[2]

Three Southern League clubs applied to join the Football League, but none were successful. After four clubs left at the end of the season, the league was restructured into a single division for the 1936–37 season.

gollark: SMH my head at this.
gollark: IKR, right? Give everyone infinite diamonds!!!!
gollark: And the books I turned into plates (those are consumed normally, I know, but you usually get multiple uses out of the plates) are kind of expensive.
gollark: If so, some warning would have been nice since those cost 60 and 40 XP levels each.
gollark: <@478798120650670091> Did you adjust the bibliocraft config or something? I made enchanted plates for a looting III/protection IV and unbreaking III book, and then made a single book from each, and it seems to have consumed them?
