It would be interesting to see what our stats are on artificial pitches.

Because I'm slightly bored today, I had a look:
Overall away record is W5, D5, L5. 20 points.
On artificial surfaces (Bromley, Harrogate, Maidstone and Sutton), we've got W0, D2, L2. 0.5 points per game.
On grass surfaces, we've got W5, D3, L3. 1.63 points per game.
I don't think we have any games left to play on artificial surfaces, although someone might correct me there.
We've still played enough away games on grass without winning over the last 4 months for our away form to be a major concern though. I really hope we start winning on the road again soon because this league really is there for the taking. 88-90 points is likely to be enough for the title, which is pretty low really for a 46 game season.
I'm also not convinced that it's a weak league this season as some have suggested. I think it's just a case of there's a lot of evenly matched teams at the top hence no-one's running away with it. I've seen enough results to suggest the lowest teams aren't the pushovers they may have once been, Braintree's win over Salford at the weekend being a prime example.
