According to my spreadsheet Wycombe (A) is League Game No. 5,000

I've been maintaining this record for a number of years after picking it up from an online football archives site which listed every club's playing records. I have obviously based my records on the originator's data being accurate at that time and I have carefully updated the spreadsheet ever since. If I remember correctly it was set up by someone called Neil Brown, a Newcastle fan.

I have the data for every team we have played home and away in the league, but only the basic stuff (not who played/who scored etc). Teams played over 100 times are Port Vale (108), Hull City (104), Leicester City (102) and Grimsby Town (100).

Our record so far is:

Home
P 2500
W 1237
D 668
L 595
F 4231
A 2780

Away
P 2499
W 554
D 613
L 1332
F 2618
A 4478

Our away record at Wycombe is very good: 4-1-1 12-7 so that's another away win cert, isn't it?

 

Out of curiosity, what was the result of our 4,000th, 3,000th, 2,000th etc..

 

BOOOOOOOOO!
That`s not promotion form - sack Clarke/the board/Prince of Risborough (the latter only by association)

 

We've been doing our best to level up our home and away records over the last couple of seasons!

 

Quick check, think this is our 119th season and over 10% of our total away wins (58) have come in the last 6 and a half seasons!!

That averages out at just below 9 away wins a season. That included 2021/22 season with only 1 away win!

So 496 away wins in 112 seasons at an average of about 4.5 per season.

So that just show how relatively poor we had always been until these recent years.

 

I thought this was going to be a thread about the amount of chances we’ve missed from inside the box this season.

 

You work it out heh heh

 

We’ll get there!

 

So the upshot of that is, we're better than we used to be away, and in the very distant past we must have been very good at home.

Well done maintaining all that tho!

 

In my early days (1962 onwards) we were usually rubbish away and better at home but, naturally, there have been exceptions. Going unbeaten all season at home is very rare, the first one for me being the 67/68 promotion year when we won 17 and drew the other 6, finishing 2nd to Luton. Hartlepool finished 3rd a year after Brian Clough ended his two-year spell as their manager.

As regards maintaining our playing record it’s not hard. I just add the figures every week and Excel updates the spreadsheet. I never miss a week, obviously.

 

My first stint of regularly doing the home and away thing was between 84 & 93 ish, and I think of that time as being very poor on our travels for the most part.

The ones that come straight to mind are most games at Hull City, Southampton & West Ham in the cup a 2-1 win at Bramall lane, a couple of wins at Grim on Sea. The 3-2 win at Shrews on NYE, 3-1 win at Walsall at their old ground. 3-1 at Man City, 1-0 at West Brom, 3-2 at Sunderland , 2-0 win at Bristol City, couple of wins at Blackburn, 3-1 at Notts County, 1-0 at Bradford, several wins at Leeds. I’m struggling a bit after that.

Would be really interesting interesting to know how many we actually won over those 8 or 9 seasons.

 

I thought I was the sad excel spreadsheet user on here (logging my cycling, 34500 miles since I started it in 2010).

 

Don't remember a 3-1 victory at Man City. I remember a 2-1.

 

Nothing sad about that! Information is important and if I could be bothered I would research every season going back to my first game so that you could ask me who scored and what was the result of every game in that time.

A lot of that is in my head anyway but recorded data would be even better.

 

Myself and Turvey Tyke got that if you ever want anything. Currently completing goal methods (header, left foot/right foot etc) and assists where available.

 

Thanks for that but I am ok for now. I remember Turvey Tyke being a good source of information going back over the years. It's amazing though how much trivia we retain in our heads while sometimes not remembering what happened this season without looking it up

 

Yep, 2-1

 

I've often wondered who scored in games that I went to back in the 70s and early 80s and can't find any info online, Quite frustrating really.

 

Does your spreadsheet also happen to have any strikers on it we could sign?

 

There’s one. Micky Excel.

Only for making up the numbers though
