      LEAGUE 2    2010/11
     
 

Leading League goalscorer:
Clayton Donaldson
 (Crewe Alexandra)
28 goals

Stevenage (they dropped the 'Borough' during the close season) made their Football League debut on Saturday August 7th 2010 - drawing 2-2 at home with Macclesfield.

On Saturday October 2nd 2010 there were more League 2 goals in two matches (21goals) than in the other 10 matches combined (20) when Accrington beat Gillingham 7-4 and Chesterfield drew 5-5 with Crewe.

When Torquay met Hereford in a League 2 match on Tuesday 1st February points were vital for both clubs but the end result was minus one point from the match. The visitors won 3-1 but both clubs fielded ineligible players - Jake Robinson for Torquay and Rob Purdie for Hereford. Both played for the full 90 minutes - Robinson scored for Torquay - but although both players had signed for their clubs the previous day - transfer deadline day - neither signing had been registered with the Football League by the midnight deadline. Hereford were docked the 3 points they had won and Torquay had one point deducted.

For the fifth time in their history Lincoln City lost their place in the Football League
