The Third Division clubs are to renew the fight for an alteration in the constitution of the two Sections. Or, at least, the Southern Section are going to. Chairman of Reading FC and Chairman of the Section, Mr Jimmy Carter told me that with three exceptions the Southern clubs are in favour of four Sections.
They would each comprise lifteen clubs, making a total of sixty against the That would allow the admission of twelve new clubs, and Mr Carter present 48, said he was of the opinion that this new blood was absolutely necessary to infuse bir into the Sections,
