Wednesday are relegated to the 2nd Division (Tier 2).

The 1st campaign after WW1, proved to be a terrible one for Wednesday with just 7 wins from the 42 matches.  Wednesday were also dumped out of the FA Cup by non-league Darlington.  The strain proved to be too much for Arthur Dickinson, who tendered his resignation halfway through the season.  He was persuaded to see the season out but left the club at the end of the season after 44 years with the club, 28 as Club Secretary.  That paved the way for a huge clearout of players - some 21 being either released or made available for transfer.
