No historical information[edit]

Just a quick query - this article presents the current state of affairs very nicely, but there's no information about how things were in days gone by. For example the Football League Third Division South and North aren't mentioned. Would it be worth including a summary of the history, and major changes which led us to where we are now, or would that be overkill? — Amakuru (talk) 10:12, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Amakuru: - History of the English non-League football system seems to cover the stuff below what is now the EFL. Maybe the changes to the EFL itself (which obviously are far fewer) could be covered within this article.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:28, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds a good plan. Obviously the detail in that other page is way too much to be covered here, but it would be useful to have the equivalent info regarding the top four divisions somewhere. — Amakuru (talk) 10:31, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Table of Download is cut at right hand side where table of original is quite wide[edit]

Hello,

I have downloaded this very useful site as pdf file,but unfortunately the copy on my USB stick is partly cut at the right hand side, where the table of the original is quite wide. It might have to do with the template of the original text. How could I get the complete table on my USB stick?

Info box cup suggestion[edit]

For the men's cups parts of the info box there is no mention of the Football league trophy or the FA Vase. Is there a reason for this omission? 2001:56A:6FF1:D608:0:58:D160:9D01 (talk) 17:43, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
