League of Ireland seasons without winning the the title, thats some interesting reading, did you collect the stats yourself for that?
Not to be ultra critical, some of those clubs that you have combined were separate clubs.
But the league treats them as one (All the Limericks for example).Quote:

Surprised that Bohs are so high up since they spent much of their existence as an amateur club and won nothing for decades in the early days.
I guess smaller league size back then would be on their side? So even if bottom it doesn't damage the average quite so much.
Most clubs have spent most of their time as amatuers. Even from the 60s on there wasn't too much difference between semi pros and amateurs.Quote:

I see their biggest win was over Grangegorman in 1946. Mad or what?
