Aha, I was wondering. Thanks.
I've just noticed that they scored 690 goals over the course of 5 championship winning seasons in the Midland league before being elected to the Fourth Division. After promotion, they scored 200 goals over two seasons in the Third division. That's 1024 league goals in 8 seasons. That must take some beating.
Celtic 786 goals between 1965-73 playing 34 games per season.
According to my math:
- Peterborough 3.44 goals per game
- Celtic 2.89 goals per game
- TNS 2.76 goals per game
- Wolves 2.35 goals per game
OK, weekend's here, that's me finished-up for the week now.
How nice to have a stats thread. That 77/78 season was a really strange one in Division 2. Blackpool spent most of the season around the top 6 and were in a comfortable 7th place after beating Hull 3-0 in mid March. However they then ended the season with just 5 draws and 6 defeats from their last 11 games. Even so with 5 games left they were still 9th but fell into the last relegation spot at season's end when City 'allowed' Orient a 1-0 win at Ninian Park so they could join us and six other teams on 38 points while Blackpool had 37.
Blackpool got their revenge about 32 years later I suppose.
