Calendar year points table

[silent majority]

OK, so how do you think we did this last 12 months?

[Chris Black come back]

Highly amusing that in this pointless table concocted using an arbitrary formula, we finished in sixth and edged Peterborough out of the play off positions by a microscopic amount.

Highly amusing that in this fun table, calculated using a simple PPG formula, we finished in sixth and edged Peterborough into 7th.

Amazing in anyones language

I have copied this to all my mates ...thankyou SM .

[DonnyOsmond]

Just got to play Man Utd in the play offs now.

I think that if you had everyone playing the same amount of games it would be more reflective. As much as I wished it would be as the table suggests.

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

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.

It's amazing that West Brom, who were promoted to the Premier League, are in 77th!

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.

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.

[Donnybob]

The strangest stat from the table is Wycombe down in 85th place in a year when they were promoted to the Championship.

Thanks Dutch, more meat on the bones!

[Alan Southstand]

Reflects very well on the brilliant job Darren Moore has done and continues to do, hopefully.

Happy New Year to all.
