1945-46

See also Main index Club directory Southern League World War II index

Faced with the prospect of just a minimum of 32 League and Cup fixtures, clubs in the B Division of the Southern League organized the Supplementary Cup to dovetail the end of the League fixture card in February. The interest generated by the new competition – crowds upward of 15000 were common – prompted the Scottish League to continue the tournament when full peace-time football returned in 1946.
