Also interested in how doing research about the crash was a reason to look for old league tables, did Galbraith write a book called "The Great Crash And 1911/1912 In English Football"?
I have a first edition
And I beat myself to say that

Whilst I was reading about the events of 24-28th october 1929 I stumbled on the football results for that weekend - (we beat Everton 4-1) -so I sort of got sidetracked (as I often do whilst researching) and I wondered what life was like in 1912 for City (Fosse) fans
Actually found the whole period quite fascinating - not just from a football perspective. Did you know for instance that on 31 May 1929 - The General election returned ahung parliament.The Liberals determined who had power. As I said, nothing much changes!

I strongly agree with parliament being hanged, preferably from lampposts.
btw Pete, wikipedia isn't the most reliable place to be conducting research

I'm sure the way Boc voted would have helped influence that result.

I still think of the expression 'goal average' as the terminology. I think that tells me something! although I do realise that its 'goal difference'. 'Goal average' was seen to favour a defensive mentality - 'goal difference' seen as more positive, Anyway since the state education system collapsed hardly anyone today would be capable of working out 'goal average' even with a calculator.

Some might think that your post tends to confirm my point - I couldn't possibly comment.

You are right, I had to work out an average to post it.

Some might say that this post proves it happened before your generation. I couldn't possibly comment.

You'd need to explain why that would be. You'd also need to explain how you know what education Matt has received.

What form did this alleged collapse take?
