Notes

  1. ^ Birmingham Senior Cup 1888–1905, Third Division North Cup 1934–36, Third Division South Cup 1936–46 and EFL Trophy (under various names) 1983–present.
  2. ^ Average attendance taken from league matches only.
  3. ^ Top goalscorer statistics include goals scored in league matches only.
  4. ^ In the same year an attempt was made to set up a league called The Combination involving clubs not invited to join The Football League. Lack of proper organisation meant it materialised into a series of friendly matches without proper league structure and wound up in April 1889.[4]
  5. ^ Walsall have competed in the FA Cup every season since their formation in 1888. Both preceding clubs, Walsall Town and Walsall Swifts, also both competed in each season from 1882–83 until the amalgamation.[1]
  6. ^ The Football Alliance was formed in 1889 by 12 clubs as an alternative to the Football League. Walsall Town Swifts were founder members.
  7. ^ The Second Division was formed in 1892 largely by clubs who had been competing in the Football Alliance. Walsall Town Swifts were founder members.
  8. ^ Having finished in last place, Walsall Town Swifts had to reapply for their place in the league. They were re-elected and following expansion to 16 teams, joined in the Second Division by Liverpool, Newcastle United and Woolwich Arsenal.[5]
  9. ^ Having finished in the bottom four, Walsall Town Swifts again had to reapply for their place in the league. They were not re-elected and replaced in the league by Loughborough Town.[5]
  10. ^ Walsall (having dropped the Town Swifts in their name) elected back to the Football League for the 1896–97 season, joining Blackpool and Gainsborough Trinity in replacing Burslem Port Vale, Crewe Alexandra and Rotherham Town.[5]
  11. ^ Walsall beat Wolves 2–1 in the final of the Birmingham Senior Cup.
  12. ^ Retained the Birmingham Senior Cup by beating Wolves 3–0 in the final.
