Jackson Corner 1920-21 our 50th anniversary we finished 3rd from bottom of division 3 South and I believe this was the only time the club has had to appeal for re election, fortunately in those days it was bit of a closed shop so the bottom 3 survived.
1970-71 season our 100th anniversary we were relegated from the third to the 4th Division on goal difference.

Well except you're a year early in both circumstances.
1921-22: 13th
1971-72: 16th
So kinda underwhelming seasons but no relegation.

We’ve never had to apply for re-election. It was only the bottom two in Div 3S who needed to.

We’ve never had to apply for re-election. It was only the bottom two in Div 3S who needed to.
The bottom 3 had to reapply which in 1921 was Reading, Brentford and Gillingham.
The re-election process started in 1890 and until 1894 the bottom 4 clubs had to reapply.
Between 1895 and 1921 it was the bottom 3 clubs who had to go through the process.
From 1922 until 1958 it was the bottom 2 clubs in Division 3S and the bottom 2 in Division 3N.
From 1958, until the whole thing was finally scrapped in favour of automatic promotion/relegation with the non league world in 1986, the bottom 4 clubs in Division 4 had to “sweat” on getting returned.
Out of interest:
Hartlepool were the club that had to reapply the most in that time (14 occasions) but were successful every time.
The biggest “names” that have had to apply for re-election in their time are probably Blackpool and Preston North End.
From 1922 to 1986 thirteen clubs failed to retain their status:
1927 - Aberdare Athletic
1928 - Durham City
1929 - Ashington
1930 - Merthyr Town
1931 - Newport County
1931 - Nelson
1938 - Gillingham
1951 - New Brighton
1952 - Gateshead
1970 - Bradford Park Avenue
1972 - Barrow
1977 - Workington
1978 - Southport
John Smith We 100% won't be relegated this season and anyone to suggest so simply is not a supporter.

I just feel there are three worse sides than us in the division: your Derbys, your Blackpools, your Coventrys...

It's correct. It was only ever the bottom two in each of Div 3 S and Div 3 N. When Div 4 came about in 1958-9 it was then the bottom four who had to re-apply.
