Criteria[edit]

I don't understand the criteria for the seasons included in this list. If it is only for Football League Championship seasons, it should begin with 2004–05. If it is to include all seasons of second tier football in England, then it should start at 1892–93, not 1992–93. --Jameboy (talk) 16:09, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, although given that in essence the league is simply the 'English 2nd tier' then really it ought to list all second tier seasons, but is there already a Wiki article for this? Eldumpo (talk) 07:46, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Naming and content of article[edit]

What do people think of this article? Should it be extended/renamed to cover the all-time English second level. At present it refers to Championship even though that only started in 2004/05. Statto has an article to cover all-time second level winners, with sub-sections within showing how the second level name changed. Eldumpo (talk) 22:55, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It could certainly do with some work! There is already an infobox of English second level seasons so it would complement the article if you decide to rename and add previous seasons -- which I think should be done. I've had a dab at trying to cleanup List of Premier League seasons, which is similar I guess, so a history section could easily be accommodated should somebody have the time to do so. – Lemonade51 (talk) 23:16, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article should cover the Football League First Division and Football League Championship seasons from 1888-89 to the present. The First Division was the same in 1991-92 as it was in 1992-93, there was just a mass promotion of teams after the top teams left the Football League to form the Premier League. This would mean that the article covers the top-flight of English football (1888-89 to 1991-92) and the second-tier (1992-93 to present), but it would be more accurate that way. – Pee Jay 16:37, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with the above view, I don't see the logic in tracking in one article the results of separate league tiers. I see RSSSF take a similar view to Statto and collate the winners of the tier, not of the same league name. Eldumpo (talk) 20:36, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
