Goal Average

ex hibitionist Hastings 20 Apr 19 9.05pm
for the under fifties was how teams on level points were sorted pre 1976, goals scored divided by goals conceded to give a complicated decimal - the bigger the better, I attach a great article on it, just wondering if any of our oldies can remember a cliffer hanger where we needed 0.0176 of a goal v Brentford or any other memories. In the 1979/80 season for example Liverpool scored over 80 and let in just 16 giving them an average of over 5, where +2 is outstanding and 3 exceptional. [Link]

I clearly remember the days of goal average although I don't remember the game v.Brentford when we needed 0.0176 of goal. But, there have been quite a times over my years of supporting Palace when I would have been very grateful to see 0.0176 of a goal from them.

In 1928-29 Palace missed out on the Div 3 South title to Charlton Athletic, both ending on 54 points, in the days of only one club promoted. We won our last 3 games but Charlton's goal average was 1.43 to Palace's 1.21.
