When the league started it was just the football league and Welsh teams were encouraged to join. When the Welsh league started it was predominantly amateur. Welsh clubs were given an option to switch to that league but didn't because of quality of opposition (the English Football league is professional) Most Welsh clubs who were in the English league chose to stay, even the smaller clubs.
