Wednesday are promoted to the 1st Division (tier 1).

Wednesday are in 2nd place going into the New Year but a winless run of seven matches sees them slip to 5th.  Four wins and two draws follows but Wednesday stutter in the run-in, winning just one of the last five matches.  Thankfully a draw in the final match against Champions Tottenham Hotspur sees Wednesday clinch promotion on goal average.  Wednesday, Sheffield United and Southampton all finish on 52 points but Wednesday have a superior goal average of just 0.008 from Sheffield United - one of the smallest margins ever.  Interestingly, had the final match finished 1-1 both local rivals would have finished on the same points and goal average and a play-off match would have had to be played to determine who was promoted!  Under current goal difference rules United would have been promoted as they scored one more goal than Wednesday, the goal differences being equal.
