Another season without league football saw fixtures and attendances fall away badly.

A meagre 6 'friendly' matches were played during the season, with even a match against Celtic attracting fewer than 1,000 spectators. In all 2 were won and 4 lost, scoring 12 goals and conceding 15.

At the end of the season an AGM proposal to disband the club was accepted, so just 10 years after being crowned as Scottish league champions Dumbarton F.C. went out of existence, and would not re-appear again until August 1905.
