With all the players now back from their break and under-going the rigours of pre-season training I have been trawling through my old memory banks.
40 years have passed since Posh were last promoted as Champions at the end of the 1973-74 season (all other promotions since then being either as Runner-up or via the play-offs).
It is also interesting to note how time have changed - that was also the year that Leeds were Div 1 Champions and Manchester United were relegated, being replaced, amongst others, by Luton Town.
During that momentous season Posh only lost 8 games, achieving a total of 65 points (this was when it was only 2 points for a win).
Our full record that season was:
Played 46 Won 27 Drew 11 Lost 8 Goals for 75 Goals against 38 Points 65
Had it been 3 points for a win we would have had 92 points.
I feel a repetition of that performance would be enough to achieve promotion as Champions (though I would hope to see a considerably larger number
in the 'Goals for' column).
As a little memory cell teaser Posh hold, either jointly or solely, 4 Football League records, who can name them? (A bar of Galaxy for Minxy if she can get the correct answers.)
