Wednesday-Wonderland Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) 15th.Kind of puts into perspective how good our hardcore fans are, and especially how loyal our brilliant away following is.(edited because I did the calculation wrong like a spaz, it's 15th not 17th) Edited March 10, 2010 by Wednesday-Wonderland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday-Wonderland Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) Took it from the "League standings for last 10 seasons" part of our wikipedia page, it's about 3/4 of the way down. If you include all 11 final positions on the table it comes out at just over 15, if you ignore us finishing 12th in 98/99, it comes out at 15.5.If we finish 21st this season, and therefore just stay up, our average will be bang on 16th.

Max Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 You'd be right if we'd been in the same division the entire time.But we haven't.Our average position is 39.5th, or 20th in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wednesday-Wonderland Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) You'd be right if we'd been in the same division the entire time.Pretty obvious, no?This topic is in terms of showing how few seasons we've been competing at the right end of a table, ie how many good seasons we've had recently.

Wednesday-Wonderland Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 There's always one. Or in this case two.My motivation for this topic was that the casual fan would much rather see us beasting everyone League One than getting killed in the Championship, which is why I ignored the different leagues.

I do not want to go back to that crappy division. Simple as that. And lets face it. Why does anyone assume we'll "beast" teams in League One? We hardly set the division alight last time did we. We stagnated for a couple of years, then got lucky.Not having a go at you here Wonderland. I'm just getting sick of hearing other people on here posting about how going down will give us momentum and start a renaissance at Hillsborough.

Wednesday-Wonderland Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 I don't think anybody with sense wants us to go down, it would be a disaster and would set us back at least 5 years. My point was that the hardcore of us have kept going despite on average us finishing 3/4 way down whatever league we're in. And us (in theory) doing well in League One and winning every week is more likely to pull in fairweather fans who want to be entertained than us getting turned over every week in the Championship would.
