After appointing Harry Bradshaw in the summer of 1899, the club improves its performances over the seasons and eventually wins promotion to the First Division in 1904 after scoring an incredible 91 goals in 34 games, never losing at home, and ending in second place after Preston North End. Tommy Shanks becomes the league's leading goalscorer with 25 goals, but manager Bradshaw resigns shortly after the promotion.
