The Great Western Suburban League was a football league that was primarily held in the Home counties, founded in 1904.
History[]
The Great Western Suburban League was founded in 1904, drawing its membership from the Home counties to the west of London. The league was generally considered by clubs to be a stepping stone to the Spartan League. After the 1926–27 season, all the member clubs left, with a new constitution of teams being formed for the following season. Following the 1930–31 season, in which only seven teams competed, the league folded.[1]
