Football League Tables

In 1963 the boys comic 'LION' gave away a 'do-it-yourself' Football League Ladders Chart*. All four Divisions, including the two in Scotland with cardboard 'team tabs' for every club to slot into the 'ladders' and position accordingly. It was designed so you could use it every season thereafter. I have therefore brought it up-to-date for the season just finished. Though as you'll see it wasn't entirely future-proof.

The biggest difference being the four Divisions are now known as Premiership (1st), Championship (2nd), League One (3rd) and Two (4th). Which is why old-timers like me still refer to the 3rd and 4th Divisions. 
The other obvious change is the 'Top Div' now has only 20 teams and the '2nd Div' has 24. The final obvious change is some of the teams from 1963 have been relegated and replaced by new clubs.

I have made these changes by adding MK Dons to '2nd Div' and slotted Bolton in last place.
Wigan, Burton and Fleetwood are written in for the '3rd Div' and the same principal applied to the teams now in '4th Div'. 
Because the Scottish Leagues are so dramatically different I have cropped them out of the picture. Nothing personal.

One thing of note is in over 50 years the only 'tab' that has got lost was Notts County. So I have had to write them in also. Which means there are 14 teams now in the Football League that weren't part of the Lion League Ladders in the 60s. 

What of the teams I had left over ?

See here a separate picture of those teams and their current position within the English Football League Pyramid system of automatic promotion and relegation.





*How have I still got a Football Chart from 1963? Don't ask… I just have.
And so has this guy
