2) Every single french team in this DB has a foundation date now.

3) Activation of the following teams that were wrongly set as extinct in the original DB:

-RP JOINVILLE
-LEVALLOIS SC
-CORBEIL ESSONNES
-LE PERREUX
-ANTONY SPORTS
-RIS ORANGIS
-FC DAMMARIE
-FC GOUSSAINVILLE
-SC BASTIDIENNE BORDEAUX
-ESPOIR CLUB BASTIA
-AS BERGBIETEN
-FC TILLOY LES MOFFLAINES
-AVENIR MOURENX
-FC ROCHEFORT AMANGE
-AS PUSIGNAN
-SPORTING CLUB SAINT-MARTINOIS

All of them were placed in the Division Inferieure (lower league) and regional divisions for N1,N2,N3 and U19 was set upon the region each one of them belongs.


4) Correction of names here and there and here are some examples:

UNION SPORTIVE ALLIANCE TALENCAISE - FOOTBALL CLUB TALENCE
ASSOCIATION SPORTIVE RETHAISE - FOOTBALL CLUB RETHAIS
PAYS D'AIX FOOTBALL CLUB - ASSOCIATION SPORTIVE D'AIX EN PROVENCE
etch...


5) Several connections from extinct teams were made with teams that are their successors nowadays

examples:

EVIAN TG -THONON EVIAN GRAND GENEVE
CREUTZWALD AND L'HOPITAL - CREUTZWALD 03

NOTE: QUIMPER HAS A STRANGE HISTORY WITH NAMES.

- STADE QUIMPEROIS was used in 3 different periods and
- QUIMPER CORNOUAILLE FC was used in 2 different periods

Therefore in its history tab it's not any mistake but the reason i described above!

CHANGELOG:

- For a strange reason there were 2 teams with the name Toulon le Las, Toulon le Las never refounded it only merged with SC Toulon Var to form SC Toulon in 2016.
Speaking of SC Toulon i used the Toulon le Las version that had no competition history and renamed it also SC Toulon (1st edition of the team) that existed untill 1984.
2nd version of the team was SC Toulon Var and 3rd SC Toulon (the one that is active now).
All 3 teams + the merged Toulon le Las history can be shown in SC Toulon competition history.

- For a similar reason there were also 2 teams with the name AS Fresnoy.
****The one was picked to become Norcap Grenoble which later merged with Grenoble and can be found on Grenoble's competition history.

WHAT'S MISSING:

Although it was a huge project some things i couldn't change


Examples:

- Some extinct B or C teams are missing from the DB as a result no classification was given to them.

- In cases of active B teams the only thing you can edit is the last year's position only and not the points or GF/GA or W/D/L/.

- Teams that spent at least one year on a national basis and are missing from the original DB:

1)AIGLE SPORTIF DES BROSSES VILLEURBANNE
2)ASCA WITTELSHEIM
3)USO BRUAY LA BUISSIERE
4)FCLSC CHATEAUROUX
5)NORCAP GRENOBLE**** (see few lines above)
6)ARSAC FC
7)OLYMPIQUE D'AJACCIO
8)ES PENNOISE
9)US ANNEMASSE
10)US FRIVILLE - ESCARBOTIN
11)STADE LEONARD KREISKER


***Football Club Bagnols-Pont is a team founded in 1992 from the merge of 2 teams:

UC Bagnols Jeunesse and Independante Pont-Saint-Esprit
Both teams spent at least 1 year on national basis before their merge. Those 2 teams history can be seen in FC Bagnols Pont competition history with the name of the later though.
