Post by: TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe on December 21, 2008, 05:02:19 PM: Worrying statistic:

This season to date, we have yet to win a Blue Square Premier league match when the opposing team has scored the opening goal.

Equally though, we've yet to lose a league game when we've scored the opening goal. Nigel Clough's comments on this subject last week seemed pretty astute to me.

before 1972, if games ended in a 5-5 draw both teams considered it a victory.

Post by: ManagementGuru on December 23, 2008, 10:34:18 AM: I've checked the records and following our 5-5 draw at home to Witton Albion in 1967, both sides only appear to have been awarded one point!
