“Everyone is aware of the fact that in the National League, both Wrexham and Notts County have more than 100 points,” tweets Bernard Carthy, “but what’s the highest points total of the top two teams in a fully professional league?”
We’ve looked at this through a different lens in the past, with a question about the best runners-up, but most of the answers are from the semi-professional leagues. (It’s still well worth a look, especially if you’re not familiar with the Combined Counties Football League 2002-03 title race). For the record, if Wrexham and Notts County win their remaining four games, they will finish with a combined total Richie Benaud would have loved: 222.
