Record Watch 25/26

I kinda hope they beat 106 just so people stop holding onto it in desperation rather than just accepting Birmingham took it.

Does anyone take Birmingham's 111 seriously though? Maybe once the context of how they won the league is lost and only the record remains.

How they did it doesn't really matter. It's the record.

And it was League 1 and not the Championship of course

Its a FL record, which includes both (and L2).

It is also the most points ever recorded in the Championship, so it is a Championship record.

Maybe one for General Football, but do you think Derby fans have a similar thread on their forum which they're excitedly updating right now?

I would imagine so!



Wolves do look incredibly poor; they have the smell of a team already relegated and frankly, the only reason I can fathom for Rob Edwards to leave Boro for that shower of sh1t has to be financial. All he is doing is trashing his reputation (played 4 lost 4 under his management).

Exactly. IIRC neutral pundits have said that it's one thing getting that many points in League 1 and a completely different thing doing the same in The Championship.

If all things are the same across leagues, then I could claim that my local village team perhaps did even better in 2018/19, going unbeaten and amassing 110 points over just 38 games in their Spartan South Midlands league.

I still think it's very unlikely that another team will get 106 points or more in The Championship in the foreseeable future, if ever.

I posted in the General Football thread when he was appointed, but the move was principally for family reasons - he's a Wolves fan, ex player, ex coach, but mainly because his family still live in Telford (daughter at school there), and he was commuting up to Boro on a near daily basis (approx 3 hours each way), so to drop that down to a 20 odd minute commute down the M54 is quite the regain of family time. That's the local word on the grapevine from my Wolves supporting mates anyway.

I wonder if they might be just preparing for the Championship now, could end up smashing Derby's record the way they're going!

If that were true why's it taken so long for someone to get that many points in L1 and why were the previous 3 or 4 records set int eh Championship? (IIRC Fulham Sunderland, Sunderland, Reading). Sounds to me like its easier to do in the Championship.

There's a club currently in the running in the Championship, and several have come close.
