At the Football League election meeting no vote was taken, and it was agreed that Burnley and Notts County were re-elected and that Sunderland was elected in place of Stoke, who played in the Football Alliance the following season but returned to the Football League after a year's absence.

The applications of Football Alliance sides Bootle, Darwen, Grimsby Town, Newton Heath and Sunderland Albion were rejected.[http://www.footballsite.co.uk/Statistics/NonLeagueTables/FA1889-90.htm footballsite.co.uk]

Everton FC drew the highest average home attendance in the second edition of the Football League.
