League position by season, averaged over three seasons, 1984 to 1985. Each point is the club's mean finish over that season and the two before it, in the overall table: points, then wins. A break in a line is a season out of the league, and the count starts again after it; a season with no final table on file is left out. Names are in the order the lines end; clubs no longer in the league are listed below the current ones with their last season, most recent first. Line patterns repeat every five clubs and only tell neighbours apart; a lifted line takes the club's own color where one is on record.
