The wartime gap+
The wartime gap
The 1939/40 Football League programme was abandoned. National league football was suspended from 1940/41 to 1945/46. The FA Cup returned in 1945/46 and those ties have their own season page; wartime regional competitions are outside this archive’s regular-season records.
About the records
League runs use regular league matches. All-competition runs include the recorded competitive cup and play-off matches. Shoot-outs do not add goals or turn a drawn match score into a win or defeat. The records span the archived seasons from 1920/21, plus completed 2026/27 matches as they are recorded. The live season's table and player statistics remain on its own dashboard.
Leading scorers cover nationally organised senior competitions, including cup games and play-offs. Unknown historical player, crowd or referee details are left unrecorded.
