all time record points low...

[Mac the hooped man]

i was listening to football heaven and heard somehting that made me think twice..  if you go back to "the experiment",  i seem to remember it being the worst season ever (Post 1998), and we were practically relegated by february, and we still somehow got 36 points.  So a miller rings up and says they are gonna break the record,  jeez, i didnt realize how bad they were, i think they have had a couple of recent wins and they are still only on 16 pts.   WTF..,  after 28 games.   Our side was bad, but christ, what are they watching every week!!.   

RTID.

They have some way to go to beat our 8 points in 1904-05 though.

Do we hold the record for most wins in a season aswell as the record for most losses ?

Yes. Most wins in a season- 33 in 1946-47 and most losses in a season -34 in 1997-98.

PS. Just checking the record of our reserve team in that same season. They competed in the Midland League and took 10 points from 34 games.

So the combined League records of the 1st XI and 2nd XI was Played 68. Points 18 (from a possible 136!)

Saw millers play leeds before christmas, truly abject side but seemed to pick up a bit

[Mac the hooped man]

After picking up 1 pt in 12 games, rovrum now have 31 losses from 40 games. What's the betting they beat our 34 losses record.

[roversdude]

TRB what would the 8 points equate to in modern points

[balbyrover]

Couldn't happen to a nicer team

TRB what would the 8 points equate to in modern points

3 wins, 2 draws so 11.

[Dr Fundlekrotch]

It equates to about 15 points in a 46 game season - Rovers only played 34 games that year

By my reckoning Rotherham need 3 more points to avoid the lowest PPG ever... fingers crossed!

[IDM]

I don't care as long as we get the 6 points off them next season

Top work Dutch. I have long had an ambition to write a book about football's worst teams. I think I would have my starting point there and unless Rotherham have a "dead cat bounce" I will have another entry to the list.
