Route None on the history of the Football League’s expansion from 12 to 92 clubs

British football fans will know of Preston’s Invincibles team of 1888 and how the Football League started with a paltry 12 teams but how did it become the behemoth it is now with 92 teams and the top two leagues in the world (that’s the Premier League and the Championship)? Route None dug into the history of the expansion in just under 30 minutes and of course it features questionable owners and even more questionable admin decisions. I liked this fact in the comments: Fun fact — Coventry are the only team to have played in Divisions 1, 2, 3N, 3S, 4, and in the newer configuration Premier League, Championship, L1 & L2.
