Some Albion end of (regular) season stats and records

[The Albion Roar]

Below are some stats and records - some interesting, some dull, some irrelevant, for your pleasure. Of course, some records are broken because we now play 46 rather than 42 matches - but a record is a record...

Club record: fewest defeats in a season - five. Previous best - six (2001-02)
Club record: fewest away defeats in a season - two. Previous best - four (1948-49)
Club record: most wins in the second tier - 24. Previous best - 23 (1978-79)
Club record: most points in the second tier - 89. Previous best - 75 (2012-13)
Club record: Equal highest goals for in second tier - 72. (Matching 1978-79)
Club record: Longest unbeaten run - 21 matches. Previous best - 17 (1987-88)

Most points (pro-rata) in the second tier - 89. Reducing the points total to two for a win, and by the factor of playing 42 rather than 46 matches, Brighton would have ended up with 59 points. Previous best - 56 (1977-78 and 1978-79).

Involved in the highest attendance (Middlesbrough v Brighton - 33,806). Third year in a row Brighton have featured in the highest attendance of the season.

Second highest second-tier league goalscorer for Brighton - Tomer Hemed 17. Highest: Bill Curry 23 (1959-60)

First goal of the season.

Equal top scorers in the division - with Burnley and Brentford.

Winning by at least four goals in consecutive matches - twice.

Highest league finish since 1982-83.

With Leicester City having won the Premier League, Brighton & Hove Albion is now the only club to have won the Charity Shield without ever having won the league or the FA Cup.

Other stats welcome.

Great one. Three weeks out of 40 outside the top 4.

Consistency.

A magnificent season.

Now can we have some positivity towards the play-offs?

I think its 12 so far (7 home, 5 away), with 2 (hopefully 3) to come. Unless I missed one.

4 pre Christmas 8 after

Just me that finds this even more depressing. How the feck haven't we been promoted?

This is all I can remember, how I got 15 for my first post I have no idea. Old age I think

Edit, just remembered Cardiff, as well, probably best forgotten

Second edit. Dirty Leeds at home. Really can't remember.

Yup, Burnley.

Yup, Burnley.

The refs are intimidated by Dyche - always a big factor.

Is it a full moon ?

I'm going to have to lock myself in until my 'sickness' passes.
