Strap in for the GM scoreboard today
Though it is good news for some and not for others.
Bolton 11 (up from 10) 202 over the month - 55 over past week - 31 over past 3 days Pop score 696.3 (will join 700 club this weekend)
Bury 0 (down from 7) 80 over the month - secures second spot - 29 over past week. Pop score 705.4 (Bolton on its heels)
Manchester 34 (up from 29 and new record daily number) 434 over the month - 185 over past week - another new record - 95 over past 3 days. Pop score 596.9 - has rocketed recently heading fast into the 600 club and so overtaken by a surprise candidate see below.
Oldham 19 (down from 29) 310 over the month - 135 over past week - 65 over past 3 days. Better number today but enough to tip it into the 900 club which only a handful of UK towns have got to. Pop score 900.2
Rochdale 10 (up from 7) 336 over past month (second only to much larger Manchester) - 63 over past week (half Oldham) - 28 over past 3 days. Pop score 847.3 - second worst but well behind Oldham still.
Salford 7 (down from 11) 156 over past month - 59 over past week - 29 over past 3 days. Pop score 571.1 Still lowest in GM
Stockport 7 (down from 12) 122 over past month - 63 over past week - after averaging under 20 for previous 3 weeks - 24 over past 3 days. Pop score 594.6 - clinging on to 500 club but after being behind Manchester for whole of pandemic on pop score Manchester today overtook it for the first time in 5 months. Showing more how badly Manchester is doing right now than how well Stockport currently is.
Tameside 11 (up from 8) 114 over past month - 45 over past week - 24 over past 3 days. Pop score 714.9
Trafford 11 (down from 14 and lowest in 6 days) - 77 over past week - 43 over past 3 days, enough to make it into the 600 club. Pop score 603.3
Wigan 2 (down from 5 and lowest in past week) - 70 over the month and still top in GM - 24 in past week - lowest total in GM over past week. Pop score 668.2.
Solid work as usual.
Question, and I'm probably being a bit thick. What is the pop score about? Tried Google but not getting anywhere.
