The updated All-time League positions are as below.
Very little change from last season, and I can't see many positions changing too soon. Albion will probably remain 11th best in my lifetime.
Based purely on League position since The Football League's inauguration (1888), these are the top 50 Clubs.
The League champions are awarded 92 League pts, whilst the bottom team in League 2 are awarded 1 League point.
(Between 1924 and 1950, there were only 88 Clubs in the League, and so the League champions gained 88 League pts.
Between 1888 (12 Clubs) and 1923 (86 Clubs) there were varying nos of League members.
The Champs get 12 pts (for example) for winning the 1888-89 season (12 Clubs).
When there were 2 Division 3s (North & South), the winners would have each received 49 pts, whilst the runners-up both got 47.
