Team changes were ongoing during 1935-1936 season as Kingstonian tried to find a side that would return them to the glories of their Amateur Cup and Isthmian League wins. There were further retirements and injuries from the set of players that had won the Amateur cup three seasons earlier. Only George Lee, Jack Daley and Doug Whitehead were to play in a majority of games but Whitehead was also suffering from injury problems to his knee. He remained top scorer but with only 17 goals and only two other players could manage double figures.

Of the other players not yet retired; Ted McCarthy, Frank Okin and Ted Brodrick all suffered from injury and played little part in the campaign. Brodrick played his final game for the club when he was injured in his third game early in the season and this gave Cyril Longman his chance. Longman had been at K's in reserve teams since the 1932-1933 season with favourable write ups and was finally able to claim a regular first team role.

It was to be a very poor season as K's continued their efforts to rebuild and they ended up second from bottom with no trophies to their name. K's did, however, have the nucleus of a good team and their new recruits included Stan Eastham and Lionel Thornton who were both England Amateur internationals. Unfortunately they had other footballing calls on their time, with Eastham also having his army duties, and they were never to play on a regular basis in the current season. Other recruits who were to establish themselves at Kingstonian included George Holling, Jack Rogerson and Tommy Sinclair. Rogerson had played a number of games in the previous campaign but assumed a regular spot in the current one. Many of these players, however, had shortened careers due to the war and only Longman and Holling were to play for the club before and after.

Having beaten Nunhead in the London Charity Cup, K's were defeated in the final qualifying round of the F.A. Cup by the same team a week later, losing 3-2 to a goal eight minutes from the end. They were also beaten at the first time of asking in the Surrey Senior Cup by Carshalton and made their usual early exit from the London Senior Cup having won just one game. This was a 6-3 defeat by Ilford on a snow-covered Richmond Road ground.

This wasn't the only Ilford game affected by the weather as the league game in December had been in doubt due to fog, and a late start led to an agreement that only 60 minutes would be played. The match kicked off 45 minutes late and gates for spectators were not opened until the remaining Ilford players, delayed by the fog, had made an appearance. K's had long enough to record a 2-0 win. Fog also hit in the St. Albans City match in February with another shortened match of 70 minutes in even worse conditions where it was hard to follow the play.

The only significant cup run K's managed was in the Amateur Cup, beating Leavesden Mental Hospital 7-0 in a replay, having survived a 2-2 draw in the first game after Whitehead was injured. They followed this with a 4-2 win against Ipswich Town, who were, at the time, amateurs playing in the Eastern Counties Football League. The Ipswich team was described as "regarding the ball as a secondary consideration" and at one point K's were down to eight men. K's lost Len Tyler for the rest of the season during this game, but his injury was due to a tackle he had made rather than anything related to the roughness of the opposition. In the third round K's had a long visit to Cockfield near Durham, having to leave on Friday evening in what was becoming something of a regular train journey for them up to Darlington. The score had been 2-2 going into the final stages but K's gave away a penalty and ended up beaten 4-2 on a difficult ground.

K's were to end their season losing seven of their last eight league games and being beaten in the minor Surrey Combination Cup Final 9-4 by Guildford City. Their second from bottom placing left them having to apply for re-election but with the Isthmian League regarded as a closed shop at the time there was little worry concerning the vote.

Kingstonian Reserves fared no better and also finished second from bottom in the reserve section while the 3rd team finished 7th of 11 teams in the Kingston & District League Premier Division.
