	The Football League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The League Cup was established in 1960 and is open to all Football League and FA Premier League clubs, with the winner eligible to participate in the UEFA Cup.
		The Third Divisions were expanded to 24 clubs each in 1950, bringing the total number of League clubs to 92, and in 1958 the decision was made to end the regionalisation of the Third Divisions and reorganise the clubs into a new nationwide Third Division and Fourth Division.
		In 1920 the Football League admitted the clubs from the first division of the Southern League (the Southern League continued with its remaining clubs) and Grimsby Town, who had failed to be re-elected to the Second Division the season before and been replaced by Cardiff City (of the Southern League).

	English Football League
		"League" football in England is organised into four divisions, the foremost being the FA Premier League, the remaining three remaining under the jurisdiction of what is legally known as simply The Football League.
		The League-wide League Cup, and the FA Cup that is dominated by League teams, use a single-elimination format to determine a champion.
		Professional football teams from Wales (Cardiff City, Wrexham, and Swansea City) play in the English Football League, thus largely disqualifying themselves from the UEFA club competitions, although lower teams play in the League of Wales.

	Welsh football league system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The south of the country is covered by the Welsh Football League while the north and centre of the country is covered by the Cymru Alliance.
		In the south, the Welsh Football League has three divisions all covering the whole of the South Wales geographical area, and it isn't until the fifth tier of the pyramid that local leagues appear.
		Promotion to, and relegation from the Welsh League is structured, as in the north, on three regional football associations (Gwent FA, South Wales FA, and West Wales FA).

	Football League
		A second division was added by absorbing the rival Football Alliance in 1892, and by 1899 it had 36 member clubs.
		The League was still largely northern- and midlands-based, so in 1920 virtually the entire First Division of the rival Southern League was absorbed as the FL's Third Division.
		In 2004 the Football League decided to call its top division 'the Football League Championship' (which presumably they thought sounded better than the 'Premiership wannabes league'), thus 'elevating' the old Division 2 and 3 to 'new' Leagues 1 and 2.

		The Football Association of Wales (FAW) will offer English third division strugglers Swansea City FC the chance to play in the Welsh Premiership if they are relegated to the non-league section.
		Swansea, one of three Welsh clubs operating in England alongside Cardiff City FC and Wrexham FC, are bottom of the Football League - having sunk to 92nd place after failing to win since 24 August, nine games back.
		If Swansea, who are managed by former Welsh international Brian Flynn, lose their 81-year English tenancy, they could be tempted into the Welsh Premiership by the financial incentive of UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup and UEFA Intertoto Cup football.

		Oswestry were among the leading clubs in the formation of the Football Association of Wales in 1876 and took part in the first ever Welsh Cup competition in 1877 - a competition which they have entered regularly ever since.

		Racked by financial problems and poor support, Oswestry decided the best way forward to keep football in the town was to merge with nearby rival TNS and the plan is to build a new, purpose-built stadium in Oswestry within the next three years.

		Their only away win of the league campaign was against runners-up Liverpool and that victory effectively cost the opposition their defence of the league title.
		Although naturally disappointing at the lack of success in the league, the board understood that Ferguson's chances of success had been sabotaged by an injury crisis amongst the players and they were pleased with the way he had reorganised the club.
		Their league form was improved but still inconsistent, so they finished sixth, but they fared much better in cup competitions.
