- Notes
- The Football League and Southern League ceased operations until the war ended in November 1918.
- At the end of the season all of the clubs in Division One were elected to the new Division Three of the Football League.
- The league underwent a major expansion, adding 20 teams from the Midlands and Northern England. They were placed in the new Third Division North, and the existing southern-based Third Division became the Third Division South. This was the first year the Third Division was split into North and South sections.
- After the abandonment of the football programme, the league was split into ten mini regional leagues. A national cup competition was also held.
- No competitive football was played between 1939 and 1946 due to the Second World War
- The FA Cup was contested in 1945–46 but the Football League did not resume until the following season.
- The 1981–82 season saw the introduction of three points for a win.
- The top league of English Football was re-branded the Premier League, subsequently the tiers below the premier league were re-numbered so that the second tier was now the First Division, third tier was Second Division and so on. For this reason Reading remained in the third tier of English football, but the league was now classified as the Second Division
- Only two teams were promoted that season: the champions and the play-off winners. This was done to reduce the Premiership from 22 teams to 20. Reading lost in the play-off Final
- The First Division was re-branded as The Championship.

Famous quotes containing the word seasons:
“For winters rains and ruins are over,
And all the seasons of snows and sins;
The days dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses, the night that wins;
And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
“The seasons alter; hoary-headed frosts
Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose,
And on old Hiems thin and icy crown
An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
Is, as in mockery, set.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“The seasons change their manners, as the year
Had found some months asleep and leapt them over.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
