The season most enjoyable for Geißbock haters was 2017/18. From the Europa League straight into the “2. League” - accompanied by a set of records of which nobody at Geißbockheim could feel proud. Worst final placing: 18th and bottom of the Bundesliga table, also matched in 2003/04, though that year with one point more. Fewest wins: only five.
Fewest points: 22, with relegation already sealed on the third-last matchday after a 3-2 loss in Freiburg. With 14 points at home and eight away, FC were both the league’s worst home and worst away side. In the first half of the season they took only six points; only Tasmania Berlin in 1965/66 had managed fewer.
Highest home defeats: four separate losses by five goals or more. Longest losing streak: seven, in multiple seasons. Most defeats in one Bundesliga season: 23 in 2003/04. Longest winless run: 18 matches, achieved twice.
