| Division 3 Scene |
|
The 1999-2000 season saw our congratulations go to
Swansea, plus promoted clubs Rotherham, Northampton and Peterborough,
whilst our thoughts were with sadly-relegated Chester.
Darlington's Marco Gabbiadini was the league's top
scorer for the second consecutive season with 28 goals whilst the
average third division attendance rose by 2.8% from 3,813 to 3,918.
