Record Away Form Today?

[Bromley shrimp]

If scores stay as they are today at the moment, Brighton will equal Bury in being the only other of the 92 league clubs to win twice as many games away than at home.

However the difference will be 1 greater ie

Brighton Won Home 5 and Won Away 10 (Diff = 5)
Bury Won Home 4 Won Away 8 (Diff = 4)

which points arguably to Albion having a greater disparity.

This stat. factors out league position as it is percentage based.

The significnce should not be lost however as clearly Withdean should be considered as the infuencing factor to all but a blind man or no doubt Ruth Kelly, given our track record in the fight for Falmer.

Regardless, there is still time to make capital of this fact in our quest to secure a proper ground, it being one which should not in consequence prove so much of a liability as Withdean has surely become.

Anyone else agree with the cause and effect postulated here and its significance re Falmer or have I merely uncovered a piece of trivial information?

WE WANT FALMER

Affirmative, but I'm wary of using results to illustrate what is a much wider issue. It risks justifying the whole idiotic 'you're in division three, you don't need a big ground' argument.

What is our record number of away wins in a season ??

I understand where you're coming from, but our home form is undeniably achieved at Withdean, and I have attempted by the comparisons made to factor this out from our position in the heirarchy overall.

It is really whether anyone is prepared to totally divorce home form from the apology of a football ground that is at issue by arguing that the two things are largely uncorrelated.

Away fans rule

Well you can forget that record now...

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

We won 12 away in 71-72 promotion season, many of those with late goals.

Amoung those wins were 5-0 at halifax, 5-3 at Shrewsbury (0-0 at halftime), 4 goals at Oldham and 3 at Mansfied & Rotherham.

Five players finished with double figures in goals scored.
