Now, this set of messages is titled 51 points achieved.
Yes, but:
I've just been doing a study all national divisions with a fully completed 46 game programme (this dates back to the 1950-51 season and covers what is now the Championship, FL1, FL2 and National League Premier) (also adjusted all earlier leagues to 3 points for a win, put back any points deducted, and re-ordered all tables accordingly).
From all that (177 tables in total), 50 points would on average be enough to finish above bottom four places. However, on 55 occasions 50 points was not enough, on 32 occasions 51 points was not enough, on 16 occasions 52 points was not enough, on 7 occasions 53 points was not enough, and on 1 occasion 54 points was not enough (that team was relegated in 4th spot with 55 points).
So! Conclusion is we are far from safe fron relegation at the moment !!!
