Clubs by season. Ordered by last season, then by seasons played. A block marks a season the club played; a row with gaps is a club that left and came back. Where a final table is on record the block is shaded by the finish, bright green at the top of the table, dulling towards the middle, then deepening red at the bottom, and shows the record on hover; an outlined block is a season with no final table on file. Select a season at the top to rank the clubs by how they finished it, and again to restore the order.

League position by season, averaged over three seasons, 2001 to 2003. 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.
