Build dates run from the nineteenth century to dates in the game's future, and are shown as stored.

The source stores pitch dimensions in decimetres — Old Trafford, the Camp Nou and Wembley all hold 1050 by 680 —
so the stored number is shown first and the metre figure beside it is derived by this application, not something
the database contains. A stored 0 means the row has no dimensions and converts to nothing.
stadium.pitch_condition is a raw source scale running to 200 with no lookup table, and is printed as
stored.

Clubs come from club.stadium_uid. One shared ground in the data carries 119 of them, so the list is
paginated rather than loaded whole.

Seasons come from comp_history.host_stadium_uid. season_end_year is the end year, so
2020 is the 2019–20 season; rows with no end year fall back to the stored season_year. Winners
point at club_team rather than club, because an international tournament is won by a
national team — and since club_team.name is recorded for under two per cent of squads, the
winner is named by its club or nation rather than by an invented team name.
comp_history rows carry a synthetic negative uid and never appear in a URL.
