    That 2nd spot was ridiculous too.

    Taken from Walesonline:

    Saturday's game in Yorkshire is one for the historians as Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town were involved in the closest finish to a top-level title race.

    The Yorkshire club were crowned Division One champions on goal average, by 0.024 of a goal!

    On the final day of the 1923-24 season, City needed a win at Birmingham to become champions.

    But Cardiff drew 0-0 at St Andrews, Len Davies failing to score from a penalty, as Huddersfield beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 to take the title on goal average.

    City had scored 61 and conceded 34, while Huddersfield figures were 60-33.

    Had modern-day goal-difference had been in operation, both would have been on plus 27 – and the Bluebirds would have been league champions by virtue of having scored one more goal than their rivals!

    I wonder how you would gauge success. Tan claimed that the club would be debt free in 2012, and it isn't. In fact, it has never been in so much debt, nor has it lost as much money on a monthly basis.
    We'll be a massive club in the 20s again, very soon from now.
