Can't find current odds but:

1935/1936: 102
1933/1934: 100
1932/1933: 106
1931/1932: 108

They were incredible stats from those 5 years in Div 3 South. In the other season, 34-5, we scored just the 86 goals, making a total of 502 goals in 5 seasons to keep the average over 100.

Looking at the tables from those years, it is notable that all the serious scoring was done at home, as over those years we scored 74, 75, 70, 56 and 75 at Highfield Road. That is 350, an average of 3.33 goals per game over the whole 5 years. During that time we won 82 of our 105 home games. We lost only 11 and conceded exactly 100.

We might have a bit of a way to go to match any of this, I reckon.

Did we not have a centre forward called Bourton who got a fair share of those.
Our positions were 12, 6, 2, 3 and finally 1st and promotion.

Over those 5 seasons Clarrie Bourton scored 142 goals, 49, 40, 25, 26 and 24. An excellent record, but that still means we scored 360 goals from other players.

taking the average so far, we are on course for...

37 / 16 x 46

= 106 goals
