OK, plastic fans bllah blah blah....

With 82 points, and 6 home games left, in the form they are in, does anyone else think our record of 102 points is in danger?

Our 'record' of 102 points was always a bit dodgy because Lincoln City would have got more than that in 74-75 season (I think) but there were only two points for a win back then.

None the less, we were the first team to accumulate that many points in a season. I do think it has been surpassed once or twice since then.

Whatever the record is now, I am sure Reading will smash it into a thousand pieces though.


Unless they take their foot off the gas once promotion is guaranteed, which can't be too far off now.

So what?

That means we held the record number of points when it was 3 points for a win, they must have had the record for when it was 2 points for a win. 2 different records.

I just did some research and Sunderland did manage 105 points in 98/99 - fuckers!

yes when peter reid was in charge. they won the old div 1 (before it  became the championship) with 105 points. still they also beat our record of the worst points tally ever recorded in the premiership so it evens out  :D

What do you mean 'so what'?

It's not a an even playing field!

Which is the best record:

Ours?

P: 46 W: 32 D: 6 L: 8  F: 82 A: 43 +39 PTS: 102

Or theirs?
P: 46 W: 31 D: 11 L: 4 F: 107 A:37 +73 PTS: 104 (if it was three points for a win)

That is why the record was always slightly dodgy. But let's just ignore that shall we?

I meant the record was for the record number of points...they had the record for when it was 2 points a win, we had it for when it was 3 points a win. It doesn't mae our record dodgy just because the points system was changed, it make is 2 seperate records.
