That was the season that…wasn’t: Home and Away.

By Ian Townsend

We’re continuing our round up of the unfinished 2019-20 season in numbers, by looking at our best home and away performers. We might look at the other end of that spectrum, too!


It’s a little difficult to look at statistics and draw any meaningful conclusions when many of our clubs, due to the weather, still had a quarter or even a third of their matches still to play. But at the same point it would be a shame to ignore good performances- and the other type! So we’ll go through the home and away stats, so that we can find out which grounds were a fortress, and which put out the welcome mat and provided the home side with slippers.
