After finishing 5th, seventh and ninth ( out of twenty-two teams ) in their first three seasons in the Third Division South, Fulham won the division in the 1931 – 32 season.

In doing so they beat Torquay United 10 – 2, won 24 out of 42 games and scored 111 goals, thus being promoted back to the Second Division.

The next season they missed out on a second consecutive promotion, finishing 3rd behind Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City.

A mixed bag of league performances followed, although the club also reached another FA Cup semi-final during the 1935 – 36 season.

Fulham were also to draw with Austria in 1936 before Anschluss.

On 8 October 1938 Craven Cottage saw its all-time highest attendance at a match against Millwall FC, with a crowd of 49, 335 watching the game.
