2021-22 Premier League: Location-map, with League History chart & English Title Winners chart…
This is a new template, which features a standard location-map, plus a chart which shows the League History of all the clubs in the division. As well as showing the locations and crests of the 20 Premier League clubs this season, the main map includes the 58 Unitary authorities of England, and shows the major Urban Areas of England and Wales.
The League History chart lists the total seasons that each club has played in the 1st level [Premier League], the 2nd level [EFL Championship], the 3rd level [EFL League One], and the 4th level [EFL League Two]. Alongside each column there is also listed the most recent season each club has played in each level.
The League History chart also shows the total League seasons of each club (in the dark-blue column). (Total League seasons is: all Football League seasons plus all Premier League seasons that a club has played.) 2021-22 is the 123rd season of League football in England: 1888-89 to 1914-15; 1919-20 to 1938-39; 1947-48 to 2021-22. There were 12 founding members of the Football League in 1888-89, and seeing how one of those clubs is defunct (Accrington FC), and seeing how one of those clubs has been relegated out of the Football League (Notts County), that means there are only 10 clubs in England that have played all 123 seasons of League football. Four of those clubs play in the Premier League this season…Aston Villa, Burnley, Everton, Wolverhampton.
I have also made posts similar to this one, of the 2nd division and the 3rd division. Links to those posts are below…
•EFL Championship 21/22 map & chart, w/ the 3 promoted clubs (Hull, Peterborough, Blackpool).
•EFL League One 21/22 map & chart, w/ the 4 promoted clubs (Cheltenham, Cambridge, Bolton, Morecambe).
•I also earlier posted a brief look at the 2 clubs in 2021 that were promoted from the 5th tier into the 4th tier (Hartlepool, Sutton).
The only two differences between this 1st division map & chart here, and the ones I made for the 2nd and 3rd divisons are this…
1). In the chart at the top-right, all the 20 current Premier League clubs are listed by total seasons played in the 1st division, and not by total seasons played in the League. It just made sense to do it that way.
2). I made a chart showing the 24 English Title Winners (1889 to 2021). That chart is at the bottom-right of the map page.
