1884-85 Reserves summary notes

P11 W4 D4 L3 (1.455 ppg)

Historical PT Reserves average: 1.462 ppg (@ 22-Aug-2023)
  • The points-per-game measurements (ppg) above are calculated on the same principle as the first-team's all games category, and are based on 1 point for a draw and 3 points for a win across all eras.
  • NBDM (1/9/1884) reported the draw for the 1st round of the Scottish 2nd XI Cup; Partick Thistle was not included. It listed 11 clubs - including Thistle - who had been “struck off the roll” because their subscriptions were unpaid. Oh, the ignominy!
