Season 1960-61:
While this season is best remembered for the double-winning achievements of Tottenham Hotspur, League debutantes Peterborough United established a new Football League record when they scored 134 goals in Division Four. The previous record of 128 goals in a season was held jointly by Aston Villa (Division One, 1930-31) and Bradford City (Division Three (N), 1928-29).

1. Terry Bly scored scored 52 of those goals. Four players have scored more than 52 goals in a Football League season: who are they?
two of these are a gimme

2. How many votes did Peterborough United receive at the Annual General Meeting of the Football League which saw them elected to the Football League?

3. Which team failed to be re-elected to the Football League, and lost their place to Peterborough United, and how many votes did they receive?

I think I know #1, but will have to research it first.

yep, but they're useless for this sort of stuff!
Some of it I found in the The Encyclopaedia of Association Football by Maurice Goldsworthy, 11th Edition 1973
and the rest of it took me ages to find it .. call it curiosity.

info gleaned from here.
