Clubs and Leagues: Introduction
The Clubs and Leagues section of thePyramid.info provides a wide range of information on the constituent parts of the pyramid. This page provides an overview of the information available, plus a portal to the various pages in this section. There are four main sections: the LeagueMap, which enables you to see the geographic coverage of a particular league or group of leagues; and a section each with information on leagues, divisions and clubs. These are described more fully below.
ClubBase
The goal of the ClubBase is to provide details of every single club that plays in a Pyramid league, and thus be the biggest online directory of English football clubs. Details listed include clubs' websites, post codes of grounds so travelling fans can find the club, plus links to sources of additional information (such as the Register of English Football Facilities and the Football Club History Database). So far
6337 of an estimated 6700 clubs (94%)
have been entered onto the database, with the number rising steadily.
Clubs are grouped alphabetically by name (including prefixes such as "AFC"), and are linked by intial letter in the toolbar at the top of the page.
Division Details
The 'division details' page provides an overview of each division in the the Pyramid, including its level, a link to the relevant LeagueMap, and a link to its place in the Pyramid sturcture. It also provides details for all the clubs in the division where they are in ClubBase. To view the details of a division in a particular league, select the league's intial letter, the league's name and then the division from the drop-down lists in the toolbar at the top of the page.
League Index
The league index provides details of league, including the level of top division, link to official website, direct link to display all the league's divisions on the LeagueMap, and feeder and feedee leagues. It also has a "Route to the top", showing how the leagues between it and the Premier League.
