Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled

The third tier of Italian professional football from 1978 to 2008, created when the old Serie C was split into Serie C1 and Serie C2, organised by the Lega Professionistica Serie C, with groups whose winners and playoff winners were promoted to Serie B; in 2008 it was renamed Lega Pro Prima Divisione, in 2014 the two tiers were merged into a single Lega Pro, and in 2017 the name Serie C was restored. Many historic clubs passed through Serie C1 after financial collapses, and records by season should be checked against official sources.
