Tinmans Love Child Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Sky Sports have released the ultimate football league which shows historical league success over the last 50 years and compares this with current position. We finished last season 1 place below our average position of 37th, Rovers are 18 places below their average position of 57th. All this means our average league position over last 50 years is 20 places above Rovers, which is nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Liverpool for instance, their average position of 3.46 places them first, so this years finish of 8th puts them -7. I would more accurately say it should be -4.54 places from where on average they finish. For us our actual average finish is 41.94. By magic therefore, I believe we should be +3.94, whilst Rovers remain a negative, which is much better! What it does show give or take, is we are at or about our average last year.

The 38 is our position in terms of average league positions, even though our average league position is 41, slightly confusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
