Football Alliance 1891–92
- Football Alliance 1891–92
The Football Alliance 1891-92 was the third and final season of the Football Alliance, an association football league which was set up in England as a rival to The Football League, which had begun in the 1888-89 season.
Three new clubs joined the Football Alliance, following the expansion of the Football League to 14 teams, and the defection of Sunderland Albion to the Northern League. These new teams were Ardwick (later Manchester City), Burton Swifts and Lincoln City.[ [http://www.btinternet.com/~a.drake/owls/early/1891.htm The Owl Football Historian] ] ]At the end of the season the Football Alliance was disbanded and merged with the Football League, which was expanded to two divisions. Champions Nottingham Forest together with Newton Heath and The Wednesday were considered to be the Alliance's stongest teams and were elected to the enlarged sixteen-team First Division. The remaining teams were joined by Northwich Victoria, Burslem Port Vale and Sheffield United to form a twelve-team Second Division. However, Birmingham St George's were forced to disband at the end of the season due to financial problems.[ [http://www.btinternet.com/~a.drake/owls/early/1891.htm The Owl Football Historian] ] ]Final League Table
