| Notes | ||||||||
| *This match and all of the other Chatham home games this season were played on Great Lines, land owned by the army, on which it is illegal to take an admission fee. The FA introduced a ruling that all future matches should be played in an enclosed ground where admission fees could be taken and the away team would be guaranteed their customary 35% of the takings. | ||||||||
