The season has now come to an end, but a quick look back over 2009-10 League 1 campaign throws up some interesting stats and figures:
-60 - Stockport County fans will want to look away now, it's their goal difference over 46 matches - the worst in the whole of The Football League.
0 - The number of games Gillingham won away from home - the only team in the whole of The Football League not to pick up three points on their travels all year.
1 - The number of times Millwall lost at the New Den on their way to a third placed finish and eventual promotion via the Play-Offs. Huddersfield Town, who they beat in the Play-Off semi-finals, can also boast the same record of home defeats.
3 - The number of wins Stockport County claimed away from home, one more than they managed at Edgeley Park.
10 - The number of red cards handed out to Brighton & Hove Albion, the only team to reach double figures across all three divisions.

15 - The number of yellow cards handed out to the division's bad boy, Yeovil Town's Jean-Paul Kalala, during the campaign.
16 - The number of assists Jon-Paul McGovern provided for his Swindon Town team-mates, the most in the division.
19 - The number of clean sheets kept by League 1 champions Norwich City during the season.
22 - The number of times Swindon Town and Huddersfield Town hit the woodwork; possibly the difference between automatic promotion and Play-Off heart break.
