Best ever points tally in our history - 66 in 2001/2
* We are currently on 64 points
Most wins ever in a season - 24 in 1935/36 and 1958/59
* We are currently on 19. Get the 6 wins that would probably get us promoted and we will beat that target.
Least goals conceded in a season - 38 in 1970-71
* We are currently on 31 goals conceded.
No top 6 finish in 47 years.
* Surely this is the season to do that.
Are we going to break all those records?
Errmmm...Interesting stufff but it’s all relative
Conceding less goals than in season 70/71 is no achievement
We were playing in the top division after all
Yes be a shame almost to lose that. I've used it many times to explain to other teams fans how loyal ours remain under the circumstances.........especially the Leicester tossers round my way !I'll almost be disappointed if we put an end to that last stat, quite enjoy seeing the look of incredulity on someone's face when I tell them.
Exactly so it's all relevant but on a different levelIn Division 1 back then we had Division 1 players playing against Division 1 teams.
Now we have Division 4 players playing against Division 4 teams.
Well either that or we just totally dismiss Clarrie Bourton's 50 goals in a season as not that great.Exactly so it's all relevant but on a different level

give me 7th and a play off final victory. I use this statistic way too muchI'll almost be disappointed if we put an end to that last stat, quite enjoy seeing the look of incredulity on someone's face when I tell them.
In Division 1 back then we had Division 1 players playing against Division 1 teams.
Now we have Division 4 players playing against Division 4 teams.
My point is you can’t compare like for likeIn Division 1 back then we had Division 1 players playing against Division 1 teams.
Now we have Division 4 players playing against Division 4 teams.
Yeah, but surely we cannot use that. A draw was much better in those days, resulting in your gaining only one single point less than a win.Has anybody accounted for the 3 points for a win rule as opposed to 2 points before. The 59 season mentioned in Gosb's post above would total 84 points in today's money against the 60 points it earned at the time

Can't remember if O'Brien played in any of themANd this season there’s been 16 clean sheets in the league and 3 in the cup
Wow
That's a Wiki error then. They have 66 as the best return.We got 69 points in 2015-2016....

It just altered the way teams played and the way they set up.
Had there been 3 points for a win we might have as a team gone to try and win more games and ended up losing them as a result.
I thought the atmosphere was pretty good yesterday to be honest.What is sad is this season (apart from Sixfields) will be the lowest average home attendance for many many years
Apart from when we scored the atmosphere was crap yesterday.
The club is doing its bit to make attractive pricing offers to get bums on seats.
Will be interesting how many want to attend the play offs and Wembley ( if it happens, of course)
Not being negative, but any lower than second will be the lowest in our league history. Another recordRecords like you suggest are flawed. It is relative. Point in case when we won the old division 2 what was the points total? Now apply that with 3 points for a win.
So it will be our highest league position in decades. Well not really, we are in division 4 (in old money) so one of our lowest positions ever.
It's all a matter of perspective. But I get it what you are saying.
It is taking longer than I thought it would to build any momentum with attendances. Eight thousand against second in the league Luton is poor for us. A combination of things I suppose, but poor performances, lack of goals and until recently, no real momentum would all have contributed to some asking why they should bother. Having an average attendance of 12k during the Mowbray season shows that the support is still there if the football is right. Hopefully a big increase in the last 4 games.What is sad is this season (apart from Sixfields) will be the lowest average home attendance for many many years

Fewer goals.Errmmm...
I would say conceding less goals is one hell of an achievement. Surely it's all relative.
The least goals conceded in our history? Would be some achievement that.
The attendances at home have improved last two home games. Believe it or not I think after Notts county first game of the season, the last two games have been 2nd and 3rd biggest attendances, obviously not including Accrington.It is taking longer than I thought it would to build any momentum with attendances.
