All time record
Under the division heading, in each case, the first number quoted is that of the current divisional system. Eg. 1/2 means that the division is now the first division but was formerly the old second division. Three points for a win was introduced at the start of the 1981/82 season.

FA Cup matches include all City's appearances from the first round proper and beyond, including appearances made in their pre-league days. Cups classed as 'other' include the Third Division Cup, Auto Windscreen Shield, Conference Cups, etc.
