The new system came to be only two seasons long. It was considered to be
unfair as Norrland with approximately 20% of the clubs had as many division 2
series as Götaland with roughly 50% of the clubs. To remedy this Götaland got
two division 2 series from the 1955/56 season on. They were to have 20 teams altogether, making it 20 Götaland division 2 teams instead of 14.
The new groups were named Östra Götaland and Västra Götaland, respectively.
As a consequence of the additional group the promotion playoff to Allsvenskan
was re-installed.Groupcomposition; the new Götaland groupsÖstra Götaland
