Saaaaaaaammmmmm THE DEFINITIVE STATS FOR READING ON THE TELLY (well since 2008)
Since our relegation to the Football League in 2008, we have been on television a total of 41 times (excluding overseas broadcasts, playoffs and cup games)
It breaks down to...
Played: 41
Won: 14
Drawn: 13
Lost: 14
Scored: 59
Conceded: 52
Points Per Game: 1.3
However I think it's most interesting when it's looked at home and away...
Home: P24 W6 D9 L9 - 1.1 PPG (Championship Season = 50 Points)
Away: P17 W8 D4 L5 - 1.6 PPG (Championship Season = 73 Points)
Not only is there a large disparity in the split of home/away games picked for television (nearly 60% of our TV games are at the Madejski Stadium), there is an even bigger chasm in terms of results. With a home record of 1.1 PPG since 2008/09, it would give us just 50 points over the course of a Football League season. The last time we finished a campaign with less than 50 points was 1997/98, when we were relegated. Only twice in the last THIRTY seasons have we finished with less than that amount in a 46-game season, both seasons we finished BOTTOM of the league
In contrast, our away record of 1.6 PPG would have us with a season total of 73 points, NEVER have we reached the playoffs or been promoted with less points, and to give this record even more standing, we won the league with an away record of 1.8 PPG in 2011/12
And season by season...
2008/09 - Nine Games
P9 W4 D3 L2
2009/10 - Three Games
P3 W1 D0 L2
2010/11 - Four Games
P4 W1 D2 L1
2011/12 - Five Games
P5 W4 D1 L0
2012/13 - Eight Games (Premier League)
P8 W0 D2 L6
2013/14 - Five Games
P5 W1 D4 L0
2014/15 - Two Games
P2 W1 D1 L0
2015/16 - Three Games
P3 W1 D0 L2
2016/17 - Two Games (Incomplete)
P2 W1 D0 L1
Interesting facts...
- Despite broadcasting rights being shared amongst multiple channels in this time period, Sky Sports have broadcast 39 of the 41 games televised since our relegation in 2008 (Man Utd 2012/13 Home & Away - ESPN)
- In only two of our last nine seasons have we won more than ONE televised game
- Nigel Adkins won just one televised game (away to QPR Feb 2014), Steve Clarke lost just one (home to QPR Dec 2015), it got him sacked
- When we were beaten by QPR at home last season, it ended a run of FOURTEEN games unbeaten in televised Football League encounters, stretching back to another home QPR defeat in 2010/11, a run of 4 years 9 months, or 1763 days without witnessing a televised Championship defeat. We then immediately lost the next one just 13 days later (away to Hull Dec 2015)
- In between that run however, came a Premier League campaign in which we failed to win a single televised game, the only season that has happened. We also lost every televised game that season that wasn't against QPR (Sky broadcast a 1-1 away draw, followed by a 0-0 in the return fixture)
- FIVE of our last thirteen televised games have been against QPR (38%)
- In total we have played QPR on television EIGHT times in nine seasons, although only seven of those nine seasons were we in the same division. There have been ELEVEN goals scored in those eight games, with an aggregate of 5-6 in favour of QPR
- Basically, QPR QPR QPR
Serious effort there, thanks!! And yeah, QPR. What is the obsession?
in fact it works out even more than that, and it's insane especially given how awful the matches have been. In those eight games only one has had over 2 goals (3-1 win at Loftus Road in 2014, a rare eventful game where Doyle scored against his former club and Gorkss was sent off against his, also this:
