The1930–31 season was the 36th season of competitive football bySouthampton, and the club's ninth in theSecond Division of theFootball League. After securing their place as a top-half side in the Second Division over the past two seasons, the Saints began to lose their footing on the league and dropped to ninth in the division. The club failed to win any of their first four games of the campaign, briefly struggling to stay above the two relegation places, but had soon made their way to the top half of the division where they remained for the rest of the season. The Saints were unable to challenge for promotion to theFirst Division, however, briefly reaching the top five but remaining a long way off the top two sides. Southampton finished the season in ninth place in the table with 19 wins, six draws and 17 losses.
In the1930–31 FA Cup, Southampton travelled to face First Division sideSunderland in the third round in January. The top-flight hosts beat the Saints convincingly 2–0, with the Second Division side dropping out of the tournament after just one game for the fourth season in a row (the second time in their history they had done so). Prior to the start of the campaign, Southampton completed a pre-season tour of Denmark from May to June which included games againstOdense BK,AGF Aarhus,Aalborg BK (all of which they won) andHorsens fS (which they lost). They played just one morefriendly match during the season, a 3–3 draw withBournemouth & Boscombe Athletic in March 1931. The club ended the season with two games againstPortsmouth, for the Rowland Hospital Cup and the Hampshire Benevolent Cup.
Southampton used 36 different players during the 1930–31 season and had fifteen different goalscorers. Their top-scorer was centre-forwardWillie Haines, who scored 15 goals in 21 appearances in the Second Division, all in the second half of the season.Johnny Arnold scored eight goals in the league, followed byHerbert Coates,Bill Fraser,Bert Jepson andJohnny McIlwaine, all on seven goals. Ten players were signed by the club during the campaign, with six released and sold to other clubs. The average attendance atThe Dell during the 1930–31 season was 12,371. The highest attendance was 23,156 againstTottenham Hotspur on 26 December 1930. The lowest was 8,785 againstCharlton Athletic on 28 March 1931. The season was the club's last to feature managerArthur Chadwick, who left in April.
After the conclusion of the1929–30 season, outside-leftStan Cribb joinedFirst Division sideWest Ham United, having lost his place in the team toJohnny Arnold.[1] Recently signed Scottish centre-half Alex Sharp also left the club, returning to his native country withTranent Juniors.[2]George Harkus left later in the summer, briefly joining French sideOlympique Lyonnais.[3] Southampton managerArthur Chadwick brought in several players during the pre-season period. Most significant of the additions wasPortsmouth captainJohnny McIlwaine, who signed in June for a club record fee of £2,650.[4] Around the same time, the club also signed outside-forwardPeter Cowper fromThird Division North sideNew Brighton and inside-forwardLaurie Cumming from divisional rivalsOldham Athletic.[5][6]Billy Stage joined fromBurnley in July.[7] Just before the season started, goalkeeperGeorge Thompson and forwardBobby Weale also left the club – the former joined Dinnington Miners' Welfare,[8] while the latter signed forCardiff City.[9]
Transfer activity continued throughout the 1930–31 season. In September, the club signed full-backReg Thomas on amateur terms fromWestern League sideWeymouth (he turned professional in December).[8]Horden Colliery Welfare centre-forwardArthur Haddleton signed the following month,[10] when Thomas Groves left after his contract was cancelled.[11] In November, amateur forward Sid Grover was signed from localHampshire League side Romsey Town.[11] In the new year, several more players were signed by Southampton. Romsey Town inside-forward Fred Allan andCowes Sports winger Chris Crossley signed on amateur terms in March,[12][6] and the following month goalkeeper Bill Soffe was brought in fromTotton, another Hampshire League club.[13] Grover, Allan, Crossley and Soffe were all rushed into the first-team for the penultimate game of the season againstPortsmouth in May, having only made appearances for the reserves thus far, after 15 Southampton players refused to sign new contracts.[14]

Southampton began the 1930–31 Second Division season on 30 August 1930 with a 5–0 loss atPreston North End,[15] which sent the club straight to the bottom of the league table.[16] Draws at home toNottingham Forest andBurnley were followed by another away defeat againstOldham Athletic, leaving the Saints firmly in the battle against relegation.[15] The club's fortunes quickly turned around, however, as they embarked on an eight-match unbeaten run which included five wins to help them move up to the top seven of the table.[15][17] Much of the rest of the calendar year was spent alternating between winning and losing, during which time the team remained in the middle of the table. In November and December the club picked up wins over promotion hopefuls such asTottenham Hotspur and Preston North End, while dropping points to strugglers likeCardiff City andBristol City.[15] They remained in the top eight of the Second Division table by the end of December, still in with a chance of reaching promotion.[18]
The pattern of Southampton's season continued throughout the early months of 1931, as the team won against a host of lower-placed sides and lost against those in the higher level of the table.[15] After drawing 3–3 withPlymouth Argyle on 17 January, the Saints did not draw again for the rest of the season, contributing to a club record 27 games without sharing points which extended into the early stages of the following season.[19] After returning to the side in late December, centre-forwardWillie Haines took over fromHerbert Coates as the season's top scorer when he scored 15 goals in the last 20 games of the league, including three consecutive matches in which he scored twice in January.[15] With Southampton safe in the top half of the table, managerArthur Chadwick departed from the club on 16 April 1931 and retired from management, following a 23-year career.[20] The club finished in seventh place with 19 wins, six draws and 17 losses, ten points behindWest Bromwich Albion in the first promotion place.[15]

Southampton entered the1930–31 FA Cup in the third round, travelling north to faceFirst Division sideSunderland on 10 January 1931 in the first competitive meeting between the two clubs.[20] Club historians described the hosts as "by far the better side", with the Saints going a goal down within ten minutes of the start of the game before being eliminated with a second goal later on.[20] The team were weak in both defence and attack, with the performances ofBert Shelley andJohnny McIlwaine (playing at centre-forward in place ofWillie Haines, who was absent due to illness) singled out by club historians as particularly poor.[20]

Outside of the league and the FA Cup, Southampton played seven additional first-team matches during the 1930–31 season. Shortly after the previous season's Hampshire Benevolent Cup and Rowland Hospital Cup games againstPortsmouth, the club conducted a close season tour of Denmark in which they played four matches against local Danish league teams. The Saints won three of these games, beatingOdense BK 3–0 on 25 May,AGF Aarhus 4–0 on 29 May andAalborg BK 3–1 on 1 June, before losing 4–3 toHorsens fS on 5 June.[22] The only otherfriendly match the club played during the season was against localThird Division South sideBournemouth & Boscombe Athletic on 25 March 1931 atDean Court. The game ended in a 3–3 draw, withWillie Haines scoring a hat-trick for the visiting Saints.[22]
Prior to the club's penultimate game of the season, at home to Portsmouth in the Hampshire Benevolent Cup, 15 Southampton players had turned down new contracts from the club and refused to play again. As a result, the club had to field a team including a number of reserves and former players who had agreed to step in as guests, including wing-halfLen Butt, centre-forwardBill Rawlings and inside-forwardArthur Dominy.[14] Organised byHampshire FA secretary G. J. Eden, the makeshift side lost 4–0 to Portsmouth atThe Dell, with goals scored byJack Weddle,Jimmy Easson andSeptimus Rutherford (two).[14] The Rowland Hospital Cup game two days later featured a team consisting mainly of reserve players, with Fred Allan andArthur Haddleton scoring for the Saints in the 2–2 draw atFratton Park.[23]

At the end of the season, 15 players offered new contracts by the club refused to sign the terms or play in the final games of the season againstPortsmouth. For the Hampshire Benevolent Cup match,Hampshire FA secretary G. J. Eden arranged a "Hampshire County Team" to play against Pompey atThe Dell, which included just three players with first-team appearances during the season.[14] AlongsideBill Adams,Arthur Haddleton and Coates were reserve team players Bill Soffe,Reg Thomas andErnie Warren, as well as returning former playersLen Butt,George Harkus,Bill Rawlings andArthur Dominy, plusCardiff City strikerFrank Matson.[14] Soffe, Thomas and Warren also played in the Rowland Hospital Cup, alongside fellow reserves Fred Allan, Chris Crossley and Sid Grover.[23]
