How these are counted

League matches only. Season records use complete seasons (not curtailed, not split into groups) and rank by the per-game rate, because season lengths differ; points are after deductions. Runs continue across consecutive seasons in the same league and end if the club spends a season in another division. Ties share a rank (shown as =). A run marked “from the start of our data” began in the first season on file, so it may have started earlier.
