  The next time you hear a Premier Division manager moan about the number of matches they play spare a thought for the players for Midland League clubs back in the 1929/30 season. The competition consisted of 26 clubs which meant each club played 50 League matches! And there were quite a few goals scored. Every one of the 26 clubs either scored or conceded a century of goals with six clubs doing both. The 650 matches saw 2853 goals scored at an average of 4.39 per match.
