Review

On June 13, 1910, Town managed to get elected into the Football League only 2 years after being formed. Their first match against Bradford Park Avenue resulted in a 1-0 win thanks to Henry Hamilton's goal. The season saw Town manage to hold their own in Division 2 and finished in 13th place with 34 points.
