Title: Calendar year points table
Post by: silent majority on December 30, 2020, 11:30:06 pm: OK, so how do you think we did this last 12 months?

It’s points per game so that evens things out.

Post by: silent majority on December 31, 2020, 11:26:20 am: If memory serves me correctly we still had a number of clubs to play who were at the lower end of the table when the season was curtailed early. And this season, so far, we've played a number of sides that are at the higher end of the table. Had that not been the case we could have been sat higher?

Still, a remarkable achievement.

Post by: Dutch Uncle on December 31, 2020, 12:53:14 pm: If we use the three points per win for all calendar years (it was introduced in 1981) it is the club's 7th best ever year in points per game over all our Football League and Football Conference matches. We have had better only once since 1946.

The top 7 years have been (games, points @ 3 per win, ppg):

1946   21   56   2.667
1927   44   87   1.977
1934   41   81   1.976
2003   41   79   1.927
1939   20   38   1.900
1935   45   85   1.889
2020   32   59   1.844

Note 1939 and 1946 only included games from one season either end of World War 2 (end of 1938-39 and beginning
of 1946-47)

For a full calendar year spanning two seasons, surprisingly 1927 is our best - we had a terrific end to 1926-27 combined with a great start to 1927-28, but poor other halves of those seasons meant no promotion in either season.

The only other recent year unsurprisingly is 2003 which saw the second half of our promotion from the Conference season 2002-03 combining with our great start to our Tier 4 title winning season 2003-04.

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on December 31, 2020, 02:11:13 pm: A great achievement considering the odds stacked against us and quite a number of folk were trying to convince us it wasn't possible and we'd be fighting off relegation.

What is also remarkable and somewhat ironic is how far down the list you need to go to find Bolton and Wycombe. Similar stats but very different outcomes.

More than happy to remain a happy clapper.

Happy New Year to all.
