*Rank among clubs with recorded figures; equal rounded averages share a rank. Decade average is the rounded arithmetic mean of positive published completed-season home league averages in tiers 1–4. Seasons belong to the decade in which they began. Every recorded season counts equally; this is not match-weighted. Unavailable seasons are excluded and never imputed. The current incomplete season is excluded here; it remains included in the live All-Time Table.
