With us playing tomorrow (10th October), I've just been told this stat. We've only ever won once one the 10th October - In 1953, a 4-2 win against Blackpool. We've played 12 times and that is our solitary victory. A win percentage of 8.33%.
On dates in which we have played 5 or more games it is our joint fourth lowest winning percentage. Only behind 16th of April - 1 win from 22 games (4.55%), 11th of May - 0 from 6 (0%), and 19th of December 0 wins from 14.
14th of December, 1 from 12 (8.33%) is the date it's tied with. Fortunately at present we're not due to be playing on any of the other dates.
Source is relatively reliable so I hope everything above is 100% now I'm passing it on

Harry Kane has 9 goals in the Bundesliga and scores, on average, a goal every 77 minutes. He lies, however, in second place to Serhou Guirassy who has an incredible 14 goals to his name - one every 46 minutes, the equivalent of one in every half a game of football, he has played in the League this season.1

Wycombe V Stevenage today - got to be up there as longest lasting match without extra time/penalties ever surely? 16 minutes injury time in the first half, then another 28 minutes in the second.1

Stevenage only managed 2 shots on target. What a terrible game that must have been to watch. Although they are two of the worst sides to watch generally, neither like to play football, and prefer to be physical and bully opponents.Jonniesta said:
