Calculation rules
How the club runs are calculated
The same fixed rules are applied chronologically to every counted competitive fixture.
- Only official competitive fixtures in the closed 1877–78 to 2025–26 archive are counted.
- Winning, unbeaten, losing, winless and drawing runs use the retained official result, including a shoot-out decision.
- Scoring, goalless, clean-sheet and conceding runs use the match score before any shoot-out.
- A run may cross a season boundary because the next official match remains the next consecutive club fixture.
