The Football League was expanding at the end of the 1949-1950 season with two clubs being added to each of the Third Divisions. Newport and Millwall were both re-elected in the Third Division South which left two spots open to non-league clubs. Yeovil Town made their fifth application to join the Football League hoping to take one of the new spots available. See the voting below.
