Final league tables

The tables and results below are reproduced here in the exact form that they can be found at website and in Rothmans Book of Football League Records 1888–89 to 1978–79, with home and away statistics separated.
Starting with the 1894–95 season, clubs that finished level on points were separated by goal average, more accurately referred to as goal ratio. If one or more teams had the same goal average, the system favored teams that had conceded fewer goals. The goal average system was eventually discontinued beginning with the 1976–77 season. From the 1922–23 season onward, re-election was required for the bottom two teams in both the Third Division North and Third Division South.
