(from statistics kindly supplied by Laurence Bland and Neil Marsdin)
In
2000-2001 we finished 4th. from the bottom of the Nationwide
Conference and so were the lowest club to stay up. We got 45
points, 2 ahead of Kettering who are now playing in the Dr. Martens
League. However, the season did have its notable points and the
following statistics MAY be worth recording.
In the Conference the following
happened :
Games played 42
Home
won 8 drawn
5 lost 8
goals for 35 against
29 goal diff +6 points 29

for 29 against 37
goal diff -8 points 16
Overall won
11 drawn 12 lost
19 goals for 64

worst (with 1998-1999), with 8 defeats being our worse home figure.
