The Championship featured a thrilling promotion race between Norwich, Sheffield United and Leeds, one which saw the latter two engage in a thrilling game of cat and mouse in the final weeks, while League One had a relegation battle that at one point, separated 12 teams by 3 points with only seven games left to go.
As for League Two, Lincoln City comfortably took home the League title but the battle for the final promotion spot came down to the last day, with Mansfield Town taking on MK Dons in a straight out battle for promotion.
The excitement of the Football League is paying off as well, with the divisions recording record attendance numbers for the season. Perhaps the most astonishing crowd of the season came at Sunderland on Boxing Day, where 46,039 fans turned out to see them take on Bradford, a truly incredible attendance for a third division tie.
