It's now impossible for Scarborough to overtake Stanley's points total.

This is the first in a series of, hopefully, 21 posts.

(Yes I know it's sad, but when emotions are running high there's a certain comfort in statistics.)

Oh yes, Paul Mullin, GET IN!!!

This is probably me being thick, but I really don't understand this "five more wins" milarky. Five more wins will take us up to 82 points which surely isn't enough to be sure of automatic promotion?
 
Coley suggested 81 points would be enough to win the league, and he is an ex teacher so he should know ( well that's what my 5 year old says!!)
 
I guess what is more important than the number of points the winners got is how many points second place got each year. After all, you only need 1 more point than second place to win it.
 
If Hereford win their remaining 14 games, they would finish on 93pts. So we currently need 27pts from 13 games to mathematically certain of winning the league.
 
Second place teams totals:-
2005 Hereford 74
2004 Hereford 91
2003 Morecambe 78
2002 Daggers 84
2001 Yeovil 80

...which would tend to suggest that 82 points might be enough...or then again it might not!
