Now that we're getting into various maths & stats computations in the run-in to the end of season and hopeful promotion, here is a little statistic some of you may wish to comment on.

So far , I calculate that we have played 7 night games fully under floodlights. I am excluding the game against Altrincham because that was in August & I am assuming there was alot of natural light, certainly at the beginning of the game.

In those 7 games, we have scored a total of 17 goals and let in 6; on average, 2.42 goals for & 0.85 goals against, a net difference of 1.57 and a nice margin.

In the remaining 22 games - some of which, of course, will have been played partially under lights - we have scored 38 and let in 23.That is a ratio of only 1.73 to 1.04, a net difference of only .69 and far less comforable.

None of our 4 losses have been under lights. In fact, if all our games had have been played under lights then a statistical projection would suggest 70 goals for, 24 against and no losses and with 87 points, just 7 short of the title.

Anyone have 'owt to say about these sums?
