Statistics of The Football League in season 1939/1940.
Overview
The 1939-1940 season was the 46th season of competitive football (soccer) in England. It was abandoned in September after the outbreak of World War II.
World War II broke out early into this season. Shortly after war was declared, most competitions were abandoned as the country's attention turned to the war effort. A few leagues, such as the Northern League, did manage to complete a season, but more than half of the teams were unable to fulfil all their fixtures and resigned.
Records [ [http://www.rsssf.com/engpaul/FLA/1939-40.html Football Statistics Archive ] ] suggest that Blackpool F.C. would have been First Division champions if the records before the Football League was abandoned, were acknowledged.
