Wonder how many teams have missed out on automatic promotion in the football league with 2 points per game?
Looked back at every 3rd tier table since three points for a win (1981) and no-one has ever missed out. [Post edited 11 Mar 2023 18:09]

2ppg = 92.
Many teams have finished second with 92 points or more. So it would have been possible to miss out on 92, but...
I looked back until 1999/00 and no team had got 92 points per game. I was expecting to find a team in that time, so I wasn't originally looking for the highest. But I think in that timeframe 90 by Sheffield United was the highest to miss out

I have now done the maths
NO TEAM EVER has scored two points per game and missed out on automatic promotion in the football league. I have checked every final table since 1981 when three points for a win was introduced. I think that's 123 league seasons.
The hardest league to get out of in modern English football league history. [Post edited 11 Mar 2023 19:00]

Wow! That is actually shocking, considering the number of teams that would have got 92+ points in 2nd. | |

Nobody has yet either! 😅
6 wins and 2 draws to run the risk of being that team. I really fancy us to make another team make history in order to stop us now, and I hope history proves too big an obstacle for the other two to overcome.
A couple of teams have finished 3rd on 90 points in league one I think over the past two decades, with quite a few more in the 86-89 range |  | | |

It could easily be 90+ this this season, it's absolutely mad!
The pace is astonishing at the moment |  |
