The season featured tense battles at the top and bottom and when tensions are so high, they can boil over. Nearly 2,000 yellow cards were dished out – 1,945 in total. There were also 48 straight red cards as well as 32 occasions when a second yellow card was handed out.
Using data sourced by Transfermarkt, The Yorkshire Post has assembled a list of the third tier’s ‘dirtiest’ teams. The table has been compiled using a points system – a yellow card counts as one point, a sending off because of two yellow cards counts as three and a straight red counts as five.
