More clubs joined the league soon afterwards, which was split into two divisions (Division One and Division Two) in 1893. A third division was added in 1923, but this lasted only three years before it collapsed under heavy financial losses. From 1926 until the <a href="/wiki/Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a>, the SFL returned to two divisions. A third division, including some <a href="/wiki/Reserve_team" title="Reserve team">reserve teams</a>, was added in 1949. The withdrawal of the reserve teams in 1955 saw a return to two divisions, with 37 clubs split almost evenly. </p><p>Following a decline in attendances in the early 1960s the SFL management committee wrote to its member clubs in early 1965 proposing change to a three division setup, with 14 clubs in the top flight.<sup id="cite_ref-Crampsey167_1-0" class="reference"><a
